The cameras are installed on the ISS and accordingly will make a 90-minute revolution around the Earth 16 times a day.
After calibration, which may take several months, the cameras will begin to transmit the image to Earth. For the first time, any web user will be able to see the Earth in outer space with a delay of only 45 minutes (maximum a few hours).
UrtheCast cameras should be located on the Russian station segment. The parties agreed that the Canadian operator will earn money by selling photos and videos from space, but the Russian side will receive free of charge photos and videos of the Russian territory from the cameras. The head of the Canadian company, Scott Larson, says that UrtheCast will sell photos and videos to government agencies, commercial structures, and also send the picture to the Internet for subscribers.
