KidSat views 1997 Indonesia fires

In 1997, El Nino-related fires raged across the Indonesian archipelago, and smoke from the fires covered Southeast Asia. Images of this disaster were captured by the KidSat camera. The KidSat Project was a NASA pilot program designed to allow students to view and study the Earth from space using a shuttle-mounted camera. A series of 15 images was taken by the camera of the Indonesian fires as they began to rage out of control. Using various techniques to analyze these images, the KidSat Exploration Team comprised a report detailing the social and scientific significance of the Indonesian fires
