A note about satellite loops:  Based on the specific capabilities of your particular operating system and/or internet browser, satellite loops are now offered in a choice of three viewing options, based on either Java, Javascript, or Abobe® Flash®. Ideally, at least one of these link options will allow access to the satellite loops as shown in the tables below. The Java and Flash versions are of slightly higher image quality and contain more frames (12 to 24).
