UrtheCast video platform will let users view Earth from space

by Laura Domela

“Canadian-based company UrtheCast has announced a project intended to let a wider audience view the earth from space. A pair of cameras will be installed on the International Space Station, recording videos and imagery of the planet. The project’s aim is to create an internet-based video streaming platform, thus allowing for online viewing of the footage being recorded in space. It’s “the world’s first and only near real time high definition video from space,” according to UrtheCast’s website.” via Gizmag

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
