Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 29 Flight Engineer Satoshi Furukawa of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) demonstrated the new Super Sensitive High Definition Television Camera (SSHDTV) with the help of station Commander Mike Fossum during a series of interactive broadcasts with Japanese TV network NHK on Sep. 18.
