URTHECAST'S HD VIDEO CAMERA COMPLETES FIRST ACCEPTANCE TESTING, SHIPS TO RUSSIA

UrtheCast Corp.'s high-resolution camera (HRC) has passed its first acceptance test (AT-1), allowing for the camera to be shipped from Rutherford Appleton Laboratories (RAL Space) in the United Kingdom, to SP Korolev Rocket and Space Corp. (Energia) in Russia.

Representatives from UrtheCast, Energia, RAL Space, and MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA) participated in the completion of the HRC's AT-1, which takes UrtheCast another step closer toward the launch of its cameras to the International Space Station (ISS), from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

"We are extremely pleased with the functioning of the HRC and its construction. Both RAL and MDA were instrumental in the camera's successful development," explained UrtheCast's chief technology officer and co-founder, Dr. George Tyc. "The HRC now joins the medium-resolution camera at RSC Energia where they will be tested in unison."

AT-1 is the culmination of months of testing, which included electrical and functional tests of the camera as well as full environmental testing (thermal vacuum, vibration and electromagnetic compatibility).

The second stage of the acceptance test process, AT-2, will commence soon after the HRC's arrival in Russia.
