If you click on the map icon, the orbit map will appear. This page allows you to get information about your target in two different ways.  You may either select your photo by zooming in on a particular orbit and getting the lat/lon... (the most effective way), or you may input a lat/lon directly to find out whether the shuttle goes over it.  This is the page you use to perform the precise calculation of target lat/lon and MET.  It accesses a sophisticated program running at UCSD, and returns results to you.

Zooming in and getting target information:

To use this page, you must first select the orbits you want to consider by clicking on one of the following:
    •13-17      •18-25
    •110        •110-118
    •118-126    •126-134
    •134-139

These are the Kidsat orbits: those during which the camera will be able to take pictures. (These were the Kidsat orbits for STS-76, and may change between now and STS-81). In the page on the right, orbits 13-17 have been selected.

If you click on the zoom in 2X button, you will be in the zoom mode. Then clicking at any point on the map (as many times as needed) will zoom in centered around that point. You may zoom out again by clicking on the zoom out 2X bar underneath the orbital map.
