Van Sun/CP say UrtheCast sets date for reinstallation

2014-01-14 09:39 ET - In the News

The Vancouver Sun reports in its Tuesday edition another attempt will be made in two weeks to install two Canadian-developed cameras on the International Space Station. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Sun says a cabling problem halted installation during a spacewalk in late December. Vancouver's UrtheCast says the cameras should be in place on Jan. 27. UrtheCast chief executive officer Scott Larson said in a statement he expects the second spacewalk to result in a complete installation of the Earth-imaging cameras. The space cameras were installed by two Russian cosmonauts on Dec. 27, but shortly after they were put in place, the mission control centre near Moscow failed to receive any data from either camera. Without data, the control centre could not confirm the cameras were receiving power and would be able to survive temperature fluctuations in space. Once installed, the cameras will transmit images of the Earth on the Internet early next year. They will be able to capture images of outdoor events, stadiums, boats and planes, but images like people's faces and licence plates will be too small to be visible. UrtheCast shares closed Monday at $2.38, down seven cents on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
