Student-Designed, Student-Built Camera Closes Eyes after Successful Run Aboard Space Station
UND’s “eye in space” successfully completed a mission that took – from concept to reality – about 12 years. In that time, the student-designed and -built project known as ISSAC (International Space Station Agricultural Camera), ensconced in dedicated slot on the International Space Station (ISS), marked several milestones. ISSAC was launched into orbit on Jan. [...]
UND Alumna Nyberg Set for Six-Month Mission Aboard International Space Station
NASA and its International Space Station (ISS) partners have chosen University of North Dakota graduate Karen Nyberg to be part of a crew destined for a mission aboard the space station, beginning in late May. This elite group will be the 36th crew to live and work aboard the International Space Station. Nyberg, a Vining, [...]
UND’s ISSAC Sensor Monitors Damage from Superstorm Sandy
The International Space Station Agricultural Camera (ISSAC), designed and operated by students at the University of North Dakota (UND), is helping NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitor impacts of change due to the recent Superstorm “Sandy.” Originally designed to image agricultural crops and other vegetation, the ISSAC sensor is nearing the end of [...]
Researchers Eye More Missions for Space Camera
Earth System Science and Policy (ESSP) has been awarded a $25,000 grant from Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc., to investigate adaptation of the department’s International Space Station Agricultural Camera (ISSAC) for a follow-on science mission. UND’s principal investigator is Doug Olsen, with Ho Jin Kim, Jagan Ranganathan and Craig Helgason contributing technical expertise. The UND team [...]
UND’s ISSAC Student-Built Ag Camera Captures Minot Flood Images from International Space Station
While still performing on-orbit engineering checkout activities, the UND-built International Space Station Agricultural Camera (ISSAC) this weekend collected imagery of the Souris River flooding in Minot. The camera, which was designed and built and is operated by students and faculty at UND, ISSAC just began operations two weeks ago. “We are still learning the sensor’s [...]
UND Space Based Ag Camera Captures Its First Successful Image
UND’s International Space Station Agricultural Camera (ISSAC) has successfully captured its first high-resolution image from space. The photograph–taken June 10 and depicting the western coastal region of Florida–is a milestone for the program and represents a decade-long development by UND students and faculty members. “This is a fantastic day for ISSAC and the culmination of [...]
