The KidSAT/EarthKAM program is a NASA educational initiative that allows students to develop and operate a remote sensing space program. The first phase of the program consisted of a student developed camera that is flown on Space Shuttle missions in the nadir window. A network of students develop a series of image acquisition requests, based on approved science proposals, that are combined into a set of instrument commands that are uplinked to the space shuttle. Acquired images are downlinked and archived for student access in completing their research. The International Space Station provides a unique platform for the next generation of KidSAT/EarthKAM instruments, which will allow more students to participate in the program and enable development of more sophisticated instruments. Follow-on instruments consist of Earth-looking multispectral digital sensors mounted in the optical window and on the express pallet, and radar instruments located on the express pallet. Use of the International Space Station will allow routine data acquisition and enable the instrument to be part of regular science curricula unconstrained by the Space Shuttle launch schedule. .
