9. Confirm and Submit Requests - Students take the "Target Request Form", and use KidSat's web pages to confirm that the target was correctly specified, is on the orbital track, within the camera footprint, and is in daylight. If the request form has errors, they give it back to the Targeting group to check and fix it. Otherwise, they get the precise MET, which will tell the KidSat camera exactly when to take the picture. They then assign the target a priority, choose a code word with that priority, and submit the request through the appropriate web page. (Confirm and Submit Request Area)

10. Posting the Request - Once the request has been submitted, it is hand-written on a bulletin board listing all the requests by orbit #, title, MET, lat/lon, and including code word and record numbers; and the location is marked with a push-pin on a world map. The paper records are filed, with all requests for a given orbit in a single folder. (Confirm and Submit Request Area)
