London company SEN's ultra high-definition cameras intend to stream spectacular views of Earth.
Ultra high-definition cameras from a UK start-up will hitch a ride to the International Space Station later.
One camera will look straight ahead at the horizon, capturing sunrises and sunsets, as well as the northern and southern lights. A third camera will be directed at the forward docking point to record the comings and goings of space capsules - the SpaceX Dragon ship and the soon-to-debut Boeing Starliner.The plan is to stream 4K video - jumping between these cameras - more or less continuously. The data will come down through the European Space Agency's relay system, which bounces signals to the ground via high-throughput satellites positioned high above the space station.
