About

In October 2013, Liam Kennedy used his skills in coding, video production, live video-streaming and amateur astronomy to create the first ISS-Above. There are now close to 3,000 ISS-Aboves worldwide tracking the International Space Station, delighting and inspiring people of all ages by displaying live video views of the Earth from the HD cameras on board the ISS, tweeting and keeping their owners in touch with everything that is going on with the ISS. Although the ISS-Above is a very geeky gadget – it is easy to install by anyone (you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to set one up). The ISS-Above is a single board computer device (based on a Raspberry Pi). It was a featured presentation at the 2018 ISS R&D Conference following a successful implementation in middle schools across the USA. ISS-Above started as a fun project for Liam’s grandchildren, got funded through Kickstarter after lots of requests from people wanting one. Today, there are thousands in homes, offices, schools and science centers all over the world. https://www.issabove.com
