Sen has partnered with Zoo 55, part of ITV Studios to launch the new FAST channel, Space Live. The first ever third party-owned channel to ever be broadcast on ITVX, Space Live powered by Sen will stream unique, live 4K footage of Earth captured by Sen’s video cameras on the International Space Station.
The channel will be accessible on ITVX from 15 October 2025 and will launch on various FAST platforms in the coming weeks.
The Space Live channel is the first ever live FAST channel in the Zoo 55 portfolio. Following the upcoming international rollout, it will be truly global, dedicated to bringing stunning footage of our planet into viewer’s homes, whilst also offering a unique opportunity to learn more about Earth.
The deal was brokered by Jane Dribinskaya for Zoo 55 and Charles Black, Founder and CEO of Sen.
Sen’s vision is to ensure everyone can experience amazing views of Earth and space like those experienced by astronauts.
Sen owns and operates the world’s first 4K livestream from space and is the only streaming company to offer real-time 4K Ultra High Definition views of Earth.
Charles Black, Founder and CEO of Sen, said “We’re excited to be working with Zoo 55, part of ITV Studios, to bring our original content to major TV platforms globally. Zoo 55 is a pioneering distributor and recognises the importance and potential of Sen’s Space Live channel as a new type of content that provides people with unprecedented high quality live video of our planet.”
Sen’s payload has three camera views. One camera, with a wide angle ‘panoramic’ lens, provides views of Earth’s horizon. Another camera looks straight down at Earth and films a scene around 240 km x 180 km, with each pixel representing approximately 60m of the ground (“ground sample distance” or GSD). Another camera looks at the forward-facing docking port of the space station’s Harmony Module.
Anna Lowman, Editorial Manager, ITVX: Live, FAST Channels & YouTube, said “I can’t be alone in occasionally staring up into space and wondering what’s going on up at the International Space Station and what their view of us down on Earth is looking like. To be able to live stream that view from Space continuously on ITVX for free, is very exciting. Coming from a family of curious stargazers, I’m really proud we’re part of this innovative partnership with Sen and Zoo55″.
Graham Haigh, COO of Zoo 55, said, “We’re excited to be collaborating with Sen and the ITVX team to bring this pioneering & unique experience to viewers of ITVX. With audiences increasingly seeking immersive, “always-on” content, Space Live is one giant leap in the next wave of streaming innovation.”
