00:00.000 --> 00:04.200
We know that the sky is black, and the stars are bright.

00:08.260 --> 00:09.060
Challenge!

00:09.100 --> 00:10.920
Moonlighter is equipped with a camera.

00:10.920 --> 00:15.280
Players are tasked to take a picture of any target from a set of targets spaced around the globe.

00:15.280 --> 00:20.840
Points are awarded for both successfully aiming and snapping a picture and also successfully downlinking the image.

00:22.180 --> 00:22.980
Solution!

00:22.980 --> 00:29.540
Players must use the tasking API to point Moonlighter in the direction of their target and then snap the picture at the right place and time.

00:29.540 --> 00:36.760
After the snap is complete, players must use the tasking API to transfer the image from the camera to the flight computer's downlink queue.

00:36.760 --> 00:37.960
Keys to solving!

00:38.000 --> 00:42.220
Understanding the orbital mechanics of the satellite based on the online TLE.

00:42.220 --> 00:46.700
How to generate a quaternion that points the camera at a location on the surface of the Earth.

00:46.700 --> 00:50.620
That Moonlighter can only change its orientation at X degrees per second.

00:50.620 --> 00:54.700
That there needs to be plenty of time for the satellite to point before the picture is taken.
