Two photos of two probes:
Eos Explorer 1 (photo 1), on orbit of Eos.
Pyros Voyager 1 (photo 2), on orbit of Pyros.

//These were two probes we sent in secret. But I can tell you that EE2 is in production and PV2 is under design. They'll send some pyrosian ground and eos' atmosphere. Missions planned in May.

No probes are sent in secret


ok yes they are, but once i get a database, or give up and start hosting MAS on my site they won't be send in secret!

what software did you use to do them pictures then?

Incredible! I love the images. If there is anything Alexandria can do to help with the surveys or the exploration of the solar system, do let us know. We hope to get our own program under way.

GIMP, standard installation - no additional filters ;)

To Alexandria:
PM me if you want to have a cooperation between our space agencies.

Are there any maps of Pyros? Or should we include higher resolution camera on PV2?

There are not official maps


However they are indeed needed but i heard someone else saying they were working on them...

Just as a matter of interest, is that the correct star map behind them? because I see it's exactly the same behind each image

Any news on those probes? I presume they didn't make it if nobody has heard anything since.

Incidentally, what are the very basic details of Eos? Interesting colour.

EE and PV programs were cancelled in 2009 due to lack of funds (OOC: nearly no activity, times of federation with Winktown), and since then only regular flights in Atos system are Tarsican shuttles. With recent return of activity, IntAKos / ISA is planning on restoring the projects, but KelComm program is the priority.

The Eos imaginery is very interesting. Batavian photos look as if the planet had only scarce atmosphere, whereas Interlandian probe (only one sent to date) are showing thick, violet clouds. The colour might be easily explained as camera malfunction, but the atmosphere density couldn't change in a year... Further research and double-check of what Batavians took photos of is needed.

If Interlandian probes where right, though, a careful analysis of the images would be needed to show whether Eos owes the colour to its land or atmosphere.

The Batavian photos make Eos look like a Mercury clone, whereas yours look like Venus :P
