The days of fuzzy images transmitted from space soon will be history. Instead you'll see crystal-clear images that make you want to reach out and touch your screen to be sure you're not really in the Space Station with those astronauts. High Definition Television (HDTV) will make this possible. HDTV has flown periodically in space since 1998. During these short flights, the camera's imaging device suffered damage from space radiation. The current camera will remain in orbit much longer than any of the previous flights, giving researchers more information about the performance of HDTV in space.
