ISS EarthKAM (International Space Station Earth Knowledge Acquired by Middle school students) is an educational program that allows students to take photographs of Earth from space using a digital camera on board the International Space Station (ISS). The program is designed to engage students in learning about Earth and space science, and to inspire them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
ISS EarthKAM was founded in 1998 by NASA astronaut Sally Ride, who was the first American woman to fly in space. The program is currently managed by the Earth Science Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
To participate in ISS EarthKAM, students must register for the program and submit requests for specific areas of Earth that they would like to photograph. The requests are then reviewed by ISS EarthKAM mission control, and selected images are taken by the ISS crew and sent back to Earth for students to view and analyze.
ISS EarthKAM has been a popular and successful program, with over 125,000 students from more than 5,000 schools in over 60 countries participating. The program has provided students with unique and engaging opportunities to learn about Earth and space science, and has inspired many to pursue careers in STEM fields.
