Doubters of the past (2012)

Doubters of the past (2012)
In the end, UR proved what they can do, and I expect will again. Even those with a reputation for competence plus a decade and more of experience were proven wrong. Limk - The Commercial Space Blog Article
But it's the final article which is a bit of a surprise, given it's source and genesis. According to the April 30th, 2012 SpaceRef Interactive article "UrtheCast's HD Video From Space Station: Real Product or Hyped Vaporware," a Canadian company "claiming" to place the first live HD video feed on the ISS, may not have a real product capable of following through on the promises the company has made.

The article cites a variety of concerns including questions about whether there is actually an agreement in place to launch the camera to the ISS and questions regarding the technical capabilities of the HD video camera's as described in the company literature.

SpaceRef Interactive and author Keith Cowing have a reputation for competence plus a decade and more of experience covering the space industry, so it's unlikely that they'd publish something like this without suitable documentation to back up their claims. It will be interesting to see how BC based UrtheCast responds to the charges.
