Launch prompt

Process 5 candidate ORBIT (Earth-from-space) clips for the human-experience-filter art installation: resolve URLs, download, vet for text + humans, trim to a word-free calm window, transcode. Clips: orbit_planetearth, orbit_crewobs, orbit_aurora_perth (SVS 31281), orbit_westcoast (SVS 30180), orbit_bluemarble (SVS 4550).

Plan

Process 5 candidate ORBIT (Earth-from-space) clips: resolve URLs, download, vet for text/telemetry/humans via contact sheets, trim to word-free 24s window, transcode via process_clip.

Tasks:

1. Resolve direct mp4 URLs for SVS pages (aurora_perth/31281, westcoast/30180, bluemarble/4550)
2. Download all 5 clips
3. Build contact sheets (overview + first-8s + last-8s) for each clip
4. Vet each clip for text overlays, telemetry, ISS hardware, humans
5. Determine clean window or mark UNUSABLE
6. process_clip → simulator/sample_media// for usable clips
7. Generate preview frames

Deferred decisions

• orbit_westcoast output directory (simulator/sample_media/orbit_westcoast/) was written before the ISS hardware was confirmed throughout. It needs to be deleted. The rm -rf was attempted but permission was denied in the sandbox — operator should delete it manually: rm -rf simulator/sample_media/orbit_westcoast
