URTHECAST ANNOUNCES KEY HARDWARE COMPONENT INSTALLED ON THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
Roscosmos has successfully installed the
biaxial pointing platform on the Russian module of the
International Space Station. The BPP is the structure to which
the UrtheCast Corp. cameras will be attached.
The BPP was attached to the Zvezda module on the Russian segment of the
ISS on Aug. 22, 2013, during spacewalk No. 35, conducted by Russian
cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Aleksandr Misurkin. The two UrtheCast
cameras, one medium resolution and one high resolution, are scheduled
to be launched to the ISS and installed in late 2013.
"We are thrilled with the successful installation of the BPP," president
and chief operating officer Wade Larson stated. "Spacewalks are inherently risky, so having
the mechanism that our cameras will be attached to successfully
installed is a significant milestone."
We seek Safe Harbor.
