This article details a technical analysis of over 12,000 JPEGs from NASA's Artemis II lunar flyby mission. The author describes their high-performance workstation setup (AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, 96GB RAM, NVMe SSD) and walks through installing prerequisites like Python 3.12, ExifTool, DuckDB with spatial extensions, and a contact sheet generator. The process includes downloading the images from NASA's portal, categorizing imagery, and analyzing metadata. The post is heavily focused on programming, data analysis, and IT tools, making it highly relevant to the IT/TECHNOLOGY project.
