The Friday venture by Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazansky is the third spacewalk in a week at the orbiting laboratory. U.S. astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Michael Hopkins performed two on Saturday and Tuesday to remove and replace a faulty cooling pump. The Russians' tasks on their spacewalk, which is expected last about seven hours, include installing two high-resolution cameras and attending to experiment equipment on the space station's exterior.

Guest man Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Once calibrated -- and this could take several months, said Scott Larson, CEO of UrtheCast -- the cameras will start beaming down images. For the first time, ordinary web surfers will see the Earth in space with a delay of only 45 minutes to a couple hours at the most (this accounts for the near-real time nature). This is kinda cool. You can watch the video until it gets over your area, and then you can go outside and flash a flashlight, wait 45 minutes and watch yourself from outer space.

A flashlight will show up from that far away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
