NASA to Broadcast Live in HD from Space

NASA, in cooperation with Discovery HD Theater and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, will broadcast for the first time from space live in high-definition next Wednesday, November 15. Two live HDTV broadcasts will feature Expedition 14 Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria on the International Space Station, with Flight Engineer Thomas Reiter serving as camera operator aboard the 220-mile-high laboratory. The broadcasts will be carried by Discovery HD Theater and NHK. Discovery HD Theater will carry the special broadcast live at 10:30 a.m. CST and will be shown at Discovery Channel stores.

I imagine that this could be some of the most spectacular footage you have ever seen in high-def. The shuttle launches that have been carried on HDNet recently have been absolutely outstanding.
