Mr. Scott Larson reports

URTHECAST'S FIRST RELEASE OF EARTH IMAGERY FROM SPACE

UrtheCast Corp. has released its first Earth imagery, captured by UrtheCast's medium-resolution camera on board the International Space Station.

"This is a pivotal moment for the company and for everyone who's been a part of the vision that we set in motion in 2010," stated UrtheCast co-founder and chief executive officer, Scott Larson. "Our team has been working extremely hard to make certain that we reach this goal of democratizing a very powerful perspective on the world. We couldn't be more grateful to the incredibly determined engineering teams at UrtheCast, RSC Energia and Rutherford Appleton Laboratories."

Captured on March 28, 2014, at 1 p.m. GMT, this image is centred around the city of Moneague, Jamaica, and has a six-metre GSD (ground sampling distance). The photo is approximately 3,200 pixels by 8,000 pixels and covers approximately 300 square kilometres. The MRC is a multispectral, nadir-pointing imager that captures six-metre-class, 50-kilometre-wide swaths of still imagery, which will be made commercially available on the UrtheCast platform. While the images will be made available on an individual basis, they will also be processed and constantly streamed to the UrtheCast platform. This will be realized on the interactive platform as a near-real-time flyover view of the planet directly below the ISS as it orbits the globe 16 times every day.

In preparation for the unveiling of its full-colour, ultrahigh-definition Earth video from space, UrtheCast remains focused on the commissioning and calibration of its cameras, in addition to ground system testing and the continuation of its business plan.
