update at Bigelow site
QUOTE Engineers at Bigelow Aerospace have tweaked the exterior cameras of Genesis II to provide a higher-definition picture. The results, seen here, show a colorful and vivid view of our Earth home. The crisp images give a sense that you're flying at more than four miles per second right along with Genesis II. Question..how do you "tweak" the camera to Hi-def...??? cheers jb |

From one of the image captions: "The image shows recent improvements by Bigelow Aerospace controllers on the resolution of images beamed down from the unmanned pathfinder module." Sounds to me like they used to be decimating or severely compressing the images and they changed their software to send full (or at least higher) resolution. I wonder if they have an extremely limited downlink bandwidth? Reminds me of Galileo with its stuck high gain antenna...
