It remains a permanent payload on the ISS. Sally Ride died in 2012, and NASA renamed the program Sally Ride EarthKAM the following year. The EarthKAM camera flew on two more shuttle flights before moving to the International Space Station in 2001, according to NASA. It allows middle school students around the world to ask for images of locations on Earth. The tool incorporates a four-panel display of six different data sets, including Gridded Population of the World, Landscan, WorldPop, and Human Settlements Population Grid.
