You don't have to look at the image with north up. However, it is important to know which way is north in order to cross-reference with maps which typically follow the "north is up" convention. Remember, as the shuttle orbits the Earth, it does not follow a precise north/south or east/west orientation, and the KidSat or other shuttle pictures have no inherent orientation. If you're using a plastic overlay to label the image, record the north arrow in proper orientation.
