It is mounted on the External Payload Facility of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module. One of them, known as Theia, takes pictures with a resolution of 16.5 feet (5 meters), while the other camera records video that can resolve details as small as 3 feet (1 m) across. 30k+ Space Station Pictures Download Free Images on Unsplash Download the perfect space station pictures. The High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment aboard the ISS was activated April 30, 2014. On-orbit construction of the station began in. The Vancouver-based company UrtheCast (pronounced "Earthcast") has two HD cameras on the orbiting lab. The International Space Station (ISS) is a research facility currently being assembled in Low Earth Orbit.
