Nasa announced Tuesday that it has agreed an
arrangement with Yahoo
for the search operator to make official online video
from the 12-day Discovery shuttle space mission.
The streams will be available in Windows Media format
to millions of Internet users at http://www.nasa.gov/
and on Yahoo's own site - they will also promote video
from the space mission, scheduled for launch on July
13, across the entire network.
In a separate deal, Akamai Technologies Inc. will
stream the same video via RealPlayer but that will
only be available from the NASA site.
NASA said the agreements enable it to provide Internet
access to the feeds at no cost to taxpayers.
This is the first shuttle mission since Columbia
disintegrated over Texas on February 1, 2003 when the
entire crew of 7 died.
