A Vancouver-based company has recently announced that it is teaming up with the American space agency NASA in order to help send out live, high-definition video of the Earth taken from the International Space Station (ISS).

On Thursday, UrtheCast announced a deal with NASA to allow the company to use the full data from the agency's four cameras on the ISS's European module.

Scott Larson, chief executive and founder of UrtheCast Corp, said, “I've spoken with several astronauts and they said going to space changes them - they see earth without borders, - and we want to stream a little bit of that feeling out to the rest of the world”.

It has been found that for the past four years UrtheCast has been trying to develop the world’s first Ultra HD video feed of Earth, streamed from space in full color.

Larson in an explanation said that the existing and planned camera arrays aboard the ISS will stream images that can be used to monitor geological changes, disasters and humanitarian relief, environment, agricultural and reforestation progress, and views of the world's troubled regions.

Two of the cameras are already placed on the Russian module of the ISS in a deal with the Russian space agency. One of the cameras is shooting the video and another captures the images.

Another two cameras are planned for the US module in 2017, including a radar sensor that can peer through clouds, said Larson.

He further said that high resolution of the cameras allows them to pick out objects as small as one meter in size, due to which they can see a golf cart, rooftop, or a gathering of people.

NASA has no security concerns about the public use of the space imagery. Seeing the Earth from space is a force for good and not evil, said Dan Huot, a spokesman for NASA.
