The new camera is capable of recording at four times the resolution of normal high-definition cameras. The gadget projects up to 6144 x 3160 pixels compared to conventional cameras with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and records 300 frames per second, which makes it ideal for recording fast moving events in slow motion and showing great details.
NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston will host a briefing at 2 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. CDT), Thursday, October 22 to preview the tasks and preparation for two upcoming spacewalks by USA astronauts living aboard the global Space Station.
NASA says the high resolution images can give more information during scientific experiments.
“The agreement provides us a platform for mutual cooperation between the Israeli and American space agencies and thus allows the science communities in both our counties important access to projects that offer the promise of significant development and growth in the years ahead”. The RED Epic Dragon 4K camera has also been used in the production of films like “The Hobbit” trilogy of Peter Jackson.
