ESRS in the News

NASA Commentator Amiko Kauderer talks with Dr. Lisa Vanderbloemen, the manager of the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, about the pictures of Earth gathered by International Space Station crew members during the Crew Earth Observation experiment. Taking advantage of the perch 250 miles above the planet, astronauts can capture images that document the impact that the human inhabitants of Earth have on their planet and let experts monitor natural disasters. Most of the images are available to the public online at the Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth.

Every month on StationLIFE, we’ll focus on a scientific area where the International Space Station is conducting groundbreaking research. This month, astronaut Tracy Dyson hosts a focus on how the station operates as a unique platform for various Earth sensing technologies.

NASA Commentator Dan Huot talks with Dr. Lisa Vanderbloemen, the manager of the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, about the Crew Earth Observation experiment underway on the International Space Station. From the vantage point of 250 miles up, station crew members can quickly photograph natural phenomenon and man-made targets on Earth to document dynamic changes on the planet.

NASA Earth Scientist Melissa Dawson-Higgins describes her role in the Crew Earth Observation program at Johnson Space Center.

This NASA ARES Expedition Earth and Beyond program webinar archive focuses on investigating natural hazards and disasters on Earth using imagery from the International Space Station (ISS). The “live” event was held in December 2014. The webinar connected students from across the nation with @NASA_ARES scientist Dr. William Stefanov at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX.

Presenters Melissa Higgins and Paige Valderrama Graff shared information about the work being done as part of the Earth Science Remote Sensing (ESRS) group within @NASA_ARES and specifically focused on Crew Earth Observations imagery taken by astronauts from the ISS. The “live” event was held in February 2015.
