- The outline says children who join after the program begins still get a crew role and their own satellite photo.
Field notes
The page breaks the proposed program into six weekly sessions, from choosing crew roles and a place on Earth to a final image reveal. It says sessions would last 30–40 minutes and that children joining partway through would still receive a role and photo. A Mount Etna image credited to NASA Earth Observatory, using Landsat data from the USGS, appears as an example; the site says the first hospital run is planned for early 2027.
