As of today we have received $2,176 in donations towards the new satellite photo. There are another $1,400 in promised donations. That means that we will likely not only be able to obtain a new image, but we will be able to cover a larger area (as we did with the 2009 image). Thank you all for your support! Those of you planning to contribute, please try to get your payment to me by August 1. With the final numbers we can select an area according to the amount collected and place the order with GeoEye. Thanks again, everyone. In these difficult economic times your support is especially appreciated! I can't wait to see what our friends at Area 51 have been up to since our last satellite image was taken.
