Ibuki Satellite Webcam

Get a glimpse of Earth from almost 700 km in the heavens from the Ibuki satellite as it orbits around the planet approximately every hour and a half. Launched in early 2009, Ibuki, also known as GOSAT (Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite), was the first satellite with a primary role of monitoring the world’s greenhouse emissions. This revolutionary mission is the brainchild of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
