The
ISS SERVIR Environmental Research and Visualization System or ISERV - a
camera aboard the International Space Station - captures an image of
her hometown. ISERV was designed and built at NASA's Marshall Space
Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
ISERV provides useful images
for disaster monitoring and assessment and environmental decision
making. A system like ISERV could aid in delivering imagery and data to
help officials in developing nations monitor impacts of disasters such
as floods, landslides and forest fires. Its images also could help
decision makers address other environmental issues.
