Answer 1A very brief and very over-simplified description is that a camera is:

1. a "box"

2. with a light sensitive media [film or electronic light sensing grid] at the back side,

3. with an opening [lens or pin hole] at the front to admit light from a subject and to form an image on the media,

4. and a method [a diaphragm to control the intensity of the light, and a shutter to control the length of time the light is allow to strike the media] of controlling the amount of light getting to the media.

How do satellites make images?

Do you have a digital camera ? The digital camera takes a picture when you push the button, then translates a description of the image into a load of digital data, which is stored in the camera until you decide to move it somewhere. Then you can dump the data to a laptop, put it on a CD or DVD, e-mail it to your mother, or send it through a data-cable to a printer. The satellite simply has a digital camera on board. It takes a picture whenever ground controllers tell it to, or when its on-board computer decides it's time for a snap. The digital camera translates a description of the image into a load of digital data, which is stored in the satellite until the ground controllers decide to move it somewhere. Then the data is radio-transmitted to earth, where the controllers can store it in a laptop, put it on a CD or DVD, e-mail it to their mother, send it through a data-cable to a printer, or send it via the web to the local TV station for the 11:00 news.
