NASA has published its archive of audio-visual materials related to space exploration. This was
reported on the official portal of the agency. All published materials are available on a separate resource
https://images.nasa.gov .
In total, more than 140,000 photographs and images made by satellites and processed by agency specialists have become public. Video and audio recordings made during various NASA space missions were also published. Total archive consists of 60 different media libraries.
The agency knows about the love of many Internet users to use images related to space as screensavers for the desktop and the popularity of mobile devices. Therefore, the resource is implemented not only the search for metadata, but also a system for automatically scaling images for the resolution of screens, including mobile phones and tablets.

This step will greatly simplify the process of familiarizing users with the archive. The scaling system, however, does not limit users to their beauty and allows you to open and download all images in high resolution. True, many frames are not laid out in the original and for extremely large images of constellations and galaxies will have to go to the portals of the telescopes themselves, for example, on
the Hubble site . In addition, all video materials are accompanied by English subtitles for people with hearing impairments.
The API for enthusiasts who wish to automate the unloading of fresh materials with which the library will be replenished will also be bolted to the new portal.
NASA admits that the published materials are far from all that the agency has. According to NASA experts, they managed to select the best materials that would be of interest to people.
