Space broadcasts to be in high definition
HOUSTON, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Live broadcasts from space next week should be visually stunning and historic, NASA said from Houston, because they'll be broadcast in high definition.
The two live high definition television broadcasts will feature Expedition 14 Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria on the International Space Station, NASA said in a news release. The broadcasts, scheduled for Nov. 15, will be carried by Discovery HD Theater and the Japanese broadcast network NHK.
The broadcasts are a joint effort by NASA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Discovery HD Theater and NHK, the space agency said.
NASA officials in Houston said they've flown HDTV cameras on previous missions but had to wait until the mission was over to retrieve and view the tapes, then share them with scientists, engineers, the media and the public.
"For the first time ever, this test lets us stream live HDTV from space so the public can experience what its like to be there," Rodney Grubbs, NASA principal investigator, said.
HDTV resolution is about six times that of regular analog video, Grubbs said.

I've seen previous HD space broadcasts so I am not sure what this is about other than it being live, but who cares about live.

well, you may have seen taped footage and live launch coverage; but never live in-space footage. this is more of a test of HD broadcasting equipment than anything else.
