Among the 32,000 pounds of cargo in NASA's space shuttle Endeavour, which is set to launch Friday, there is a camera that will help U.S. farmers and provide unique educational opportunities for students.
Students and faculty at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, built the Agricultural Camera, known as AgCam, that will be delivered and installed on the International Space Station. The students will operate the camera from their campus and work closely with NASA engineers and station astronauts.
