does anyone know a website where you can see your house from space in real time?

Question

not google earth or maps like i if i could see myself oout my back with nmy latop etc.

Answer 1

That would imply that there is a satellite hovering over your house right now. There are 2 reasons this cannot be:
1. The satellites that take these pictures operate in low-earth-orbit (LEO), and it is impossible for them to simply 'hover' over one spot on the earth in their present configuration. The only way for a satellite in LEO to 'hover' would be to burn massive amounts of fuel, and that is far too impractical.

2. To cover every spot on the earth in a continuous mode ('real time') would require a huge constellation of satellites in LEO. The logistics of such a set of satellites boggles the mind, and is just plain not practical, or even feasible.

The very best that one can hope for from any non-military satellite, is a pass over your house every few days. Even those pictures (the most recent ones) cost $$$. The ones that are a few years old (that no one wants to pay for, anyway) are the free pictures that google, etc. uses.

Answer 2

There is no such site. Nobody, not even the CIA, can actually do that. Spy satellites are in low sun synchronous orbits and only spend a few minutes passing over each different spot on Earth once every few days. Weather satellites in high geosynchronous orbits cannot see such small detail on the ground, because they are WAY too high for that.

Answer 3

In order to see yourself or your house "in real time", a satellite would have to be targetable by you (or by someone in control of the satellite). In order to do it at any time of day, the satellite would have to be in geosynchronous orbit above you ( or have multiple satellites available, at least one of which would always be above your horizon). Apparently, you don't have your own satellite, or you wouldn't be asking. Those with satellites would require a lot of money or an extraordinarily good reason to target your house in real time. Perhaps if you joined a terrorist group you could see some high quality photos of your home at your trial. Other than that, you'll have to be satisfied with looking at year old and older photos on sites that allow you to do your own pointing and zooming.

Answer 4

In real time, no. That would require that a satellite be continually in view of your house. But the low earth orbit satellites which take the available pictures don't stay over one place.

Answer 5

It can't be done with satellites.
It could however be done with an unmanned drone flying above 50,000 ft.
You would have to be pretty important to get such treatment,Osama Bin Laden would be a candidates for such a maneuver.

Answer 6

Can't be done, at least not by you or I. These google earth photos are out of date. The reason this can't be done should be obvious. Terrorist's could use the photos to plan attacks.

Answer 7

Think that's the kind of thing the powers that be would want to keep themselves. The security implications would be enormous. If you sit out with your lap top enough you might turn up on there eventually.

Answer 8

Google Earth isn't real time, and it's the only one out there that I know of... but don't worry, the military has them and they're watching :o)

Answer 9

Nobody has mentioned - Google at house identification level is most often from aircraft - not satellites.

Answer 10

No such website exists.
Why would you want to spend time looking at yourself in your own back yard anyway? Haven't you discovered porn yet??
