The collection of astronaut photography hosted on the Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth (GAPE, eol.jsc.nasa.gov) forms one of the most extensive historical compilations of Earth remote sensing data sets available to researchers and the public. The GAPE database contains astronaut photography spanning all manned NASA spaceflight missions over the past 60 years and continuing to this day with operations on the International Space Station (ISS). The continuous crew presence in low Earth orbit (LEO) on the ISS for the last 22+ years and the advent of digital handheld cameras has resulted in an exponential increase in astronaut photography, growing the GAPE collection to over 4.5M photographs (Figs. 1 and 2). This increase in astronaut photography of Earth has corresponded to a significant increase in interest in the collection by the research community and the public. The Earth Science and Remote Sensing (ESRS) group at Johnson Space Center, which manages Crew Earth Observations (CEO) from the ISS, has been developing multiple new tools to improve the GAPE database so that users can more quickly find the imagery they need. The three major enhancements to GAPE are: a new API to interface with the database, a method for automatically georeferencing ISS photos (Fig. 3), and a new tool for automatically generating timelapse movies.
