[[image]] How do you find particular images? Once the images have been processed and placed on-line there are several ways to find the images that you are interested in. We first describe the method that you are most likely to use DURING the mission, to see the latest photos shortly after they are taken by the KidSat camera. Latest Images [[image]] From the Data System home page, click on LATEST IMAGES. This page presents the images to you in reverse time order; the first page of images that you see are the ones taken most recently. How do you view an image? When you click on the Latest Images icon, you go to the latest page of "thumbnail" images. A thumbnail is a small version of an image, which allows us to put lots (nine) of them on a page, and allows you to get an idea of what an image looks like. Each page has nine thumbnail images, each with an image identifier under it. Image identifier: the image is identified by an eight digit number-- the MET at which the photo was taken (but without the /'s and :'s). For example, image 00021431 would have been taken at MET 00/ 02:14:31. If you click on the image identifier you go to a page showing all the information associated with that image: the MET, the orbit number, the latitude and longitude, the altitude of the shuttle at the time the image was taken, the title of the photo (assigned by the school that requested it), and much, much more. If you click on the image itself, you will go to a full screen view of that image (the Image Viewer page). You can view the entire image at a low resolution, or zoom in on any particular part of the image simply by clicking on it. This page also has links that enable you to view a digital map of the area surrounding the image, view the detailed information associated with the image, and view the weather associated with the time and location of the image. How do you download images? Once you have found the image you are looking for, you may want to download the image onto your own computer. You can do this from the Image Viewer Page. [[image]] Select the Download icon. This link will take you to the Image Download Request Page. At this point you have several options: Teachers' Guide Page 10.3
