Space nerds, get your browser ready - soon UrtheCast streaming of HD video on Earth right from the ISS. The system actually consists of a pair of cameras, a still and a video that can be mounted on the arm of the Russian station. The still pictures are very wide, about 30 miles per with a 18-meter pixel resolution. Much more exciting is the three-meter per pixel 3.25fps stream video, running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Probably see you won 't be able to even waved as the ISS is overhead, but you should be able to place your Carton continues House. The feeds won 't your typical boring NASA tariff either - you' ll look to successfully rewind, and day objects or events, and UrtheCast offers APIs for developers to build on the service. The project won 't bring the market to 28 June, so bide your time by the video and PR after the break.
