I could see that being the case, since they are a gov. agency funded by taxpayers and public grants and the like. Why not look at nasa.gov? Or email them? derek -- eggytoast.com -------------- commerce soon: eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

The two Astrobotnia cds have Hubble Nebulae pictures on them... all they seem to mention is... "Cover images used courtesy of NASA, The images are the copyright of the NASA organisation" Wether that means they had to pay for them i dont know? But then they're not American so I guess that doesn't answer your question. skism --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Here's a site to check out <A HREF="http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/">http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/</A> hex

NASA, or other US government satellite images which are unclassified, are considered public information. I don't believe your citizenship makes a difference. However, to use such images,you do need to get permission from the project office that produced the image. You will need to provide them with specific details about the intended usage, and you will have to pay costs associated with getting a copy suitable for reproduction, such as the cost to get a photographic print made. I wouldn't risk using an image without permission, as the minimum award for copyright infringement of photographic material is $50,000. If it's a Hubble image you want, you will need to contact the Space Telescope Science Institute. Not all satellite images are produced by government programs. There are plenty of commercial satellite companies who are in the business of selling images. If you know what image you want, I might be able to get contact info for you. I'm partial to the images from Galileo, but then again I was a member of the flight team, and I worked on alot of the sequences that produced the images. Lisa b Patrick Norris wrote:
