High Definition Earth Viewing cameras
High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) cameras were a payload package delivered to the
The HDEV system was developed by engineers at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.[3] High school students also helped design some of the cameras' components, through the High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware program, and teams of students were expected to remotely operate the experiment.[5]
The system is configured on the
The German educational project "Columbus Eye – Live Imagery from the ISS in Schools", which is executed by the
On August 22, 2019, the experiment reached its end of life. Originally expected to operate 1 to 3 years, it continued for over 5 years, attaining over 318 million views.[4] The HDEV system was removed from the Columbus module on May 7, 2020, and transferred into the Cygnus NG-13 resupply spacecraft for disposal via destructive re-entry at the end of its mission.[7]
Following HDEV end of life, two of the International Space Station External High Definition Cameras (EHDCs) have been used to provide video to the HDEV live feed. The Node 2 Zenith EHDC was used until the installation of the S3 (Starboard 3) Aft EHDC.
