Watch: Pair of Canadian space cameras installed at orbiting space lab on December 27.
A Vancouver company will re-attempt to install its high-tech cameras aboard the International Space Station this morning.
Urthecast has been planning to install two earth-imaging cameras on the ISS for months.
One of the cameras will continuously broadcast images as the ISS passes over earth while the other will shoot video.
They will be able to capture the near-live feed of outdoors events and landscapes.

The company says its cameras will be constantly rolling as the ISS circles the world, 16 times a day. They will capture video and imagery below the Station’s orbit, where approximately 90 per cent of the world’s population lives.
Last month, an attempt at installing the cameras failed because of a cabling problem.
The company says it has since been fixed — and Russian cosmonauts will try again later this morning.
