Live views of Earth from orbit, aurora and the night sky — around the clock.

A small team, running channels that never go dark

Pingfast Live started as a small team's experiment in continuous, produce-once channels — the streaming equivalent of leaving a beautiful view on in the background all day. Today the network runs two live channels, Ambient Space and Aurora, plus a rotating lineup of orbital sunrise, airglow and night-sky segments that fill out the schedule around them.

All footage is sourced from public-domain space imagery, mostly captured from low Earth orbit, and set to a licensed ambient music bed rather than a voiceover or soundtrack. Every channel is delivered as adaptive-bitrate HLS over HTTP/2 with TLS 1.3, replicated across a multi-CDN edge network spanning roughly 40 origin locations worldwide, so most viewers get playback starting in under three seconds even on modest connections. Our origin cluster re-encodes each channel in real time, and edge nodes fail over automatically between providers to keep every channel online through spikes, outages, and maintenance windows.

We're a small, remote team, and we believe the best ambient streaming is the kind nobody has to think about — a channel that's simply always there, always smooth, and always current. We're still expanding the schedule and a mobile app; if something looks broken, tell us at hello@pingfast.one.
