[Via Satellite 01-29-2014] UrtheCast now has two of its Earth imaging cameras installed on the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS). Once installed, the telemetry was received by Mission Control Central in Moscow.

“With the cameras now successfully installed and communicating with Mission Control, UrtheCast can now focus on the routine commissioning of the cameras in preparation for the unveiling of our Ultra HD, color video of Earth,” said Scott Larson, CEO of UrtheCast.
