It’s been a while since we last heard of the ISERV Pathfinder , an imaging instrument that consists of a camera, telescope and pointing system that was sent up to the International Space Station last July. Now it appears it’s safely installed inside the Destiny module on the ISS and has captured its first ever image, seen above, a few weeks ago on February 16th. The high-resolution picture is of the Rio San Pablo, an ecological transition zone that’s marked as a protected area by the National Environment Authority of Panama. Captured at three to seven frames per second with about 100 images per pass, photos like these are designed to transmit details of natural disasters and environmental mishaps to developing nations
