How do pictures get to us from space?

Question

science question

Answer 1

They get to us the same way that the pictures from your digital camera get into your computer.!
Only one major difference: Instead of a long USB cable, the information from the camera is sent via radio, just like music from a satellite radio station.
The digital camera's picture aboard the satellite, space station or probe is converted to digital data, and this data is then sent via the satellite's radio transmitter to earth. Here a Receiver picks up the signal,sends it to be decoded ( usually by a computer) and turned back into an image.

Answer 2

i think it travels using microwave through space and is then picked up by our receivers. the radio signal is translated by the computer into an image. the probe that sends the image also sends the necessary data with the signal for the receiver to translate it. so that a receiver in Russia wont pick up the signal or be able to translate it. well i am not sure about the last point but i would imagine they have some ways of preventing other people from stealing their hard work.

Answer 3

The same way as they do in TV or the internet. The image is converted to electrical impulses that represent the pixels and transmitted by high-frequency radio signals.

Answer 4

radio waves are sent down with data and a massive computer recieves them and assembles the pixels in sequence to make the pictures visible to the human eyes.

Answer 5

the particals travel through space and to a receiver, not sure how it works we learned this stuff but i wasn't paying attention. the camera catches light that bounces off the object. it turns it into a code i guess on how to reopen it, the lights are told what colors to blink and there you have a picture of somewhere outer space.

Answer 6

Images are digitized and sent to earth as electrical impulses, then these impulses are converted back into images by computers.

Answer 7

There down link was in the 4 GHZ band.
