Kinda? It’s an old old app. I’d you make changes make sure you do it in the mission_data folder and not the webroot folder. The webroot data is generated from the mission_data pipe delimited csvs

Yes, that’s the long term archiving plan. I hope it can be deemed public data before that. Artemis I flight photography isn’t fully released yet either.

Hello! Artemisinrealtime.org is in the works. Will be all public mission material. The delay is in working from within NASA to get the full mission data made public. 26,000 flight photos, etc. I don’t have an ETA on when the material will be available.

If this is turns out to be the case, I might be able to determine the timing of recordings using audio matching techniques. Do you know of a recorded archive of this stream?

Ben Feist @benfeist.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

Apologies for being confusing. I meant it’s downlink 9 internally at nasa, not on the website. If nasa is just streaming downlink 9, the chances are that SG1 is in the left ear and SG2 is in the right ear. This is an artifact of how they capture the downlinks

120

Ben Feist @benfeist.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

That’s channel 9 :). You could compare the audio to the transcripts on ISS in real time. It’s a shame that there’s no timecode or recordings publicly available or I would add it.

Ben Feist @benfeist.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

I’m not sure what you’re referring to. Link? “SG” is audio channels. “Downlinks” are video channels and there are 9 of them.
