NASA astronaut and Expedition 51 commander Peggy Whitson will take
viewers 250 miles off the Earth to the International Space Station in the
highest resolution video ever broadcast live from space at 1:30 p.m. EDT on
Wednesday, April 26.
During this event, Whitson will speak with Sam Blackman, chief
executive officer and co-founder of AWS Elemental, via an ultra-high-definition
(UHD) broadcast transmitted in 4K from the 2017 National Association of
Broadcasters Show in Las Vegas. Watch Amazon Web Services’ live stream of the
event at:
The conversation with Whitson will take place as part of a panel
called “Reaching for the Stars: Connecting to the Future with NASA and
Hollywood.” The panel will explore how advanced imaging and cloud technologies
are taking scientific research and filmmaking to the next level, and will be
moderated by Carolyn Giardina, technology editor for the Hollywood Reporter.
Additional panelists are:
· NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson
· Rodney Grubbs, NASA Imagery Experts program manager
· Bernadette McDaid, head of development, virtual reality and augmented reality at Bau Entertainment
· Khawaja Shams, vice president of engineering for AWS Elemental
· Dave McQueeney, senior principal investigator for the IBM Watson Group
To experience the full effect online, devices capable of viewing
4K UHD content will be required, however, lower resolution streams of the live
broadcast will be available on NASA Television, NASA’s Facebook page and the
agency’s website.
NanoRacks, a provider of commercial access to the International
Space Station through its status as a U.S. National Laboratory, helped certify
for launch a UHD-capable video encoder from AWS Elemental. The encoder and a
RED Epic Dragon Digital Cinema camera were delivered to the station aboard a
Japanese cargo craft in December 2016.
