And will it be active over the UK at any point? Very exciting to see and congrats on the pics - they look excellent! Would love to demo reception of these at events :) A huge well done to everyone concerned. Julian M0NUX

These are pretty cool and I hope to attempt to copy some at some point.
Will the picture experiment be running / accessible on a continuous basis or a schedule?

Quick warning....I'm speaking personally here, not on behalf of VT or anything, though I know there are many that share my sentiments here.
This entire experience would not have been possible without AMSAT and the Amateur Radio community. And I don't just mean the obviously awesome folks that are on the Engineering team and the Operations team that have helped us so much along the way. I also mean everyone out there collecting telemetry and forwarding to the server. We wouldn't have made it without the entire community backing us up, and we recognize that!
So for all of AMSAT and everyone else, HUGE thank you from VT. I hope the partnership continues for as long as possible with as many missions as possible.
Thanks again!

For those that have not been following AMSAT on Twitter or Facebook, we have done a few camera runs with AO-92 with very good results. A pass this morning yielded 4 good images, two of which I have located their position on the ground. The images can be seen at http://www.amsat.org/tlm/fox1d/images/index1.html
Some side by side comparisons with Google Earth and NOAA images can be found at: https://twitter.com/AMSAT/status/953294176933896195 and https://twitter.com/AMSAT/status/953304248162406401 .
Congratulations again to Virginia Tech, and thanks for providing the camera experiments for AO-92 and Fox-1Cliff!
