One person familiar with the photos noted that most of the Earth observation images were of Israel.
Nasa said that the investigations will cover human research, biological and physical sciences, technology development, Earth observation, and education.
Here, the objective is to develop middleware for research projects in the biological sciences, earth observation and high-energy physics.

Satellites support phones, pagers, television broadcasts, Earth observation and the global positioning system.
This exhibition illustrates the use of Earth observation from space to assess the effects of climate change on famous World Heritage sites.
It is the sort of assurance Earth observation seeks in Europe, also.
The new established International Centre under the auspices of UNESCO is being hosted by the Centre of Earth Observation and Digital Earth (CEODE).
IncREO - Increasing Resilience through Earth Observation is a collaborative project under the call FP7-SPACE-2012-1 in support of emergency response management and risk-preparedness.
It's a perennial problem for Earth observation missions - getting a timely sign-off from the politicians so that an enduring presence in orbit can be maintained.
Penny Mordaunt told MPs during business questions on 8 December 2011 that earth observation satellites were "critical" in helping developing countries manage humanitarian and environmental crises.
The satellite is also expected to drop off two secondary "passengers" - an Earth observation spacecraft for Vietnam and a "nanosatellite" built by students in Estonia.
It can acquire high-resolution data, especially in the steeply sloping coastal areas, where the radar altimeters flown on many other Earth observation satellites struggle to see important details.
It is intended to generate 80kN of thrust and is designed to place the Earth observation satellite into its final orbit just a few hundred kilometres above the planet.
"It allows us to make some firm conclusions, " said Andrew Shepherd, a professor of earth observation at the University of Leeds in England and a lead author of the study.
The country has plans for better satellite communications, broadcasting facilities, weather forecasting and Earth observation missions all of which will have a dual civilian and military role, but none of which need be manned.
At present, British government policy specifically bars any public programmes connected with human spaceflight, and it has directed that any monies instead go towards the robotic exploration of space - for example in Earth observation and unmanned planetary probes.
We are also working internationally with China, the European Union, South Africa, and 79 other nations through the intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) to implement a Global Earth Observation System of Systems, or GEOSS, by 2015.
It is for us, at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and in particular the Centre for Earth Observation and Digital Earth, a great honour to host this International Centre, a Category-2 Centre, under the auspices of UNESCO, said Prof.
Turkish Science, Industry and Technology Minister Nihat Ergun said before the launch that Gokturk-2 should be seen as an investment in high technology, and a signal of Turkey's determination to have its own, restrictions-free use of Earth observation imagery.

It is co-organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and UNESCO, and hosted by the International Centre on Space Technologies for Natural and Cultural Heritage (HIST), a Centre under the auspices of UNESCO, and the Centre for Earth Observation and Digital Earth (CEODE).

With all three vehicles, Arianespace, the company that runs Kourou, will now be able to offer satellite operators a ride for any type of spacecraft to all kinds of orbit - from the low, pole-crossing orbits used by Earth observation missions, to the high, geostationary locations favoured by big telecommunications platforms.
This is where the majority of missions returning critical Earth-observation data tend to operate.
Zephyr, as the craft was known, could be used for military applications, as well as for Earth-observation and communications.
At the moment, the earth-observation satellites which employ microwaves generally use short-wavelength radiation, because this provides more detailed images.
Within five to 10 years, however, the company expects to progress from selling observation platforms in orbit around Earth to prospecting services.
We can see things -- we pass over the same portion of the Earth every day, so it's a regular observation that we can make over a long period of time, as well.
WHITEHOUSE: President Obama's call to the International Space Station
That observation was the first hint that, not only is the Earth not the centre of things, but those things are vastly, almost incomprehensibly, bigger than people up until that date had dreamed.
