I have been unable to view the image on the ACS homepage. Maybe we do not 
have a java browser. We use Netscape. 

The following text is what I would like you to append to the image. Feel 
free to add other information as and when you wish to do so.....

This satellite image covering part of Ras Beirut was acquired at 
approximately 9:30AM on May 21, 1992 by a Russian space reconnaisance 
satellite orbiting at 110 kilometers above the city. The satellite is 
designed to provide highly detailed photographs of the earth surface that 
can be used to produce accurate maps. The on-board camera system is known 
as a KVR-1000 panoramic camera that generates images with 2 meter 
resolution. This is the highest resolution data available to the civilian 
market place today. Although the data was originally intended to be used 
for military and intelligence purposes, it is now used for a variety of 
peaceful applications such as urban planning, mineral exploration, 
infrastructure mapping, cadastral mapping and natural resource 
management. SPIN-2, located in Washington,D.C., markets this high 
resolution data on behalf of the data supplier SOVINFORMSPUTNIK, located 
in Moscow, Russia.
