Take photos of your favorite locations on the Earth through a camera on International Space Station. Participate in a NASA project and see the earth from the SPACE. Sally Ride ISS EarthKAM is an international educational program of NASA through which students can receive stunning images of the Earth from a digital camera mounted at a nadir pointing window in the International Space Station (ISS). This programme was started by Dr. Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, and was originally called kidSat. SPACE India brings this unique workshop to our schools, with the enthralling experience of imaging Earth from a unique perspective of space.
Description of Activity
Every year 4-5 EarthKAM missions take place in which SPACE India holds workshops where students are guided by SPACE educators to select locations of geographical and environmental interest, based on weather and orbit checking, and through software, interface submit requests which are sent to ISS. ISS captures images of the locations and makes high-quality images available for download. Images have been taken of regions of interest in geography, environment, ecology, and natural disasters.
Learning Outcomes and Benefits to Schools
Students learn about ISS, and how to select regions based on climatic and environmental importance. This is a multidisciplinary project and students learn about software and additional skills. Schools are privileged to join in a NASA outreach program simultaneously with schools around the world.
Current Programme
This is the 82nd mission of the SALLY RIDE EARTHKAM and the 1 event in the year 2023.
Sally Ride EarthkAM will be conducted at different locations in India like Delhi-NCR, Chennai, and Surat from 13th Feb 2023 to 16th Feb 2023.
Students can request to click the pictures of the geographical locations of the planet Earth from the camera mounted on the International Space Station.
