SatCam lets you capture observations of sky and ground conditions at the same time that an Earth observation satellite is overhead.
When you capture a SatCam observation and submit it to our server, it helps us to check the quality of the cloud products that we create from the satellite data. In return, we send you the satellite image that was captured at your location, anywhere in the world! SatCam supports the TERRA, AQUA, and SUOMI NPP satellites.
SatCam was developed at the SPACE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CENTER, UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON.

Fun but
I would like to get more involvement. How many other people are doing this? How does it really help? What projects are we helping with? What conclusions are being drawn? How will help from us change the future?? But its fun for now. May get tierd without the continuing information

Science!
It was cool to se the satellite pics along with my ground pics. Fun for the kids to see, too.

Bit of a learning curve, but worth it.
Like the title says, it takes a little bit of time figuring out how to use it, but once you get it working, it is very cool. The hard part for me was that it didnt have a take picture button, but I figured out you have to hold it 90 degrees pointed straight up instead of at an angle in order for it to take a picture. The second part is dont worry if the satellite picture doesnt show up right away, it only shows up when the observation has been processed.
