At the end of the year, the inhabitants of the Earth will have the opportunity to follow the events from space live through a camera.
due to the complicated transmission process, the images will arrive on the web about an hour late
For the first time in the world, video cameras will be launched into space for the public. On October 16, the cameras will be transferred out of Earth's orbit by the "Progress 53P" cargo spacecraft, which will be carried by the Russian "Soyuz" rocket.
As reported by the ScienceWorldReport portal, two cameras from the Canadian company "Ertkast" will be launched from Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome to the International Space Station along with other supplies for astronauts.
When they arrive on the MSS, the cameras will be installed outside the station, on the Star module, in the Russian part of the orbiting laboratory.
A few months later, with the help of a fast connection to the ISS, the cameras will send the first pictures of the Earth to stations all over our planet, from where they will be released on the Internet, via the "Ertkast" website, "Latinos post" reported.
The United Nations plans to use cameras to monitor crisis areas
Of course, due to the complicated transmission process, the images will arrive on the web with about an hour delay.
The cameras will not be able to record individuals on Earth, but on them you will be able to see rallies, matches in stadiums, but also accidents such as plane crashes or floods.
Ertkast, which launched a project to enable publicly accessible video broadcasts from space, hopes their "public eye" will spark unique conversations around the world about news, environmental events and politics.
Also, the United Nations plans to use cameras to monitor crisis areas.
The cameras - one medium and the other high resolution - were made by "Ertkast", the Russian space organization RSC Energija and the British company RAL Space.
