KEPLER ISS

Share this project

The learning portal “KEPLER ISS” deals with live videos of our Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). The aim of the project is to receive and archive images and videos of NASA’s experiment "High Definition Earth Viewing” (HDEV) and prepare them for school education. The project’s intention is to sustainably integrate the topic of remote sensing in school teaching.

The project KEPLER ISS is executed by the Department of Geography of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum in cooperation with the University of Bonn and is funded by the German Aerospace Center DLR. KEPLER ISS as a successor of “Columbus Eye – Live Imagery from the ISS in Schools” offers an extensive learning portal comprising free-of-charge learning tools. They are based on an interactive learning approach making extensive use of digital media and immersive applications, such as augmented reality. School pupils are introduced to the world of remote sensing and digital image processing on the basis of specific scientific problems dealing with coupled human-environment systems. Concrete reference to the school subjects geography, biology, mathematics and computer science is set up.
