Who is Urthecast?

UrtheCast is a Canadian based company that will distribute the operational software for the first publicly accessibly HD Cameras to be installed on the International Space Station. This is an international project involving several nations. The UrtheCast service will be accessible online and will allow users to access the two UrtheCast cameras from their homes to examine places or events. One medium resolution and one high resolution camera will be built by the UK's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and will be installed on the Russian module of the ISS. The platform will utilize some measure of open source coding.

The company initiated a contest for the naming of cameras to generate some public interest. The name chosen was 'Iris'.
