Share your processed images with the European Space Agency website Options

[Mareike]

Dear all,

We're looking for stunning space science images for our 'Space Science Image of the week' feature (www.esa.int/ssiotw) on the main European Space Agency website.

We love looking at your work and have been amazed by the wealth of images at the Amateur Space Images website. We'd like our readers to see it too and would be delighted to feature some of your excellent pictures.

Our Web Portal www.esa.int attracts a broad spectrum of people interested in space and space activities. It also links visitors to our more specialised Space Science websites www.esa.int/science and sci.esa.int dealing with ESA's scientific and research activities in the fields of Planetary Science, Astrophysics, Astronomy and Fundamental Physics for the science and space communities.

If you have recently processed an image of one of our missions which you would like to share with us and the rest of the world, please let us know.
We invite you to send us your best photos by e-mail to scicom@esa.int or by replying to this thread. You can either attach your image or refer us to a web location where the image is available (e.g. photo album, blog etc.).

Please include your name, contact e-mail address, your geographical location, the date of the image, the camera/telescope you used, and any imaging/processing details that you would like to share.

The images submitted can be in jpeg, png or tiff format. The only condition is that the images should be from ESA missions.

By submitting an image you grant ESA the right to use your image on the esa.int web portal, and on ESA social media channels such as Flickr, Facebook and Twitter. Your name will of course always be acknowledged in the credit line. We are also happy to refer our readers to the original website where you have posted the image if you wish (e.g. your own blog or photo album) . As an example you may want to look at this recent 'Space Science image of the week’ of the Moon raising over Earth, taken by Rosetta and processed by Emily Lakdawalla: http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Sc...arth_by_Rosetta

We look forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,
Mareike Homfeld
(ESA Science Communication Officer)

If by "RAW" you mean JPG (or comparable format) in near-realtime you are correct (with the exception of the Mars Express VMC).

Yes, that was exactly what I was speaking about . I have found the "PDS-like" place, but the way to handle these data is more complicated than JPEG immediately released. I mean, the effect is not the same. Of course I can work with the true RAW data, but it will be for a more accurate result than an aesthetic and approximative one. Working with PDS-like dat is not so intuitive than with JPEG.

Working with PDS-like dat is not so intuitive than with JPEG.

Well, if easy opening of source images is all you're after, you can most of the times get that as well. Rosetta OSIRIS sets include full resolution browse JPGs for their PSA/PDS releases, for example this folder.

Not that I would ever recommend using uncalibrated JPG versions over calibrated IMGs when you're already there...
