STS081-378-012 (12-22 January 1997) --- Astronaut Marsha S. Ivins, mission specialist, looks at digital still photo imagery on a lap top computer on the Space Shuttle Atlantis' aft flight deck while communicating with students on Earth. Her activity is all part of the once-a-year shuttle participation in an educational endeavor called KidSat. The KidSat project allows students the opportunity to interact with the astronauts' real-time observations and photography of geographic points of interest. The Electronic Still Camera (ESC), which was handled largely by Ivins, can be seen near the computer.
