Satellite images are based on digital data that is stored electronically and then transmitted to Earth by radio waves. This data is then processed and assembled into images that can be viewed by humans. Satellite images are not based on standard photographic film as it is not practical to recover the film after a satellite has been in orbit. They are also not based on holographic images created using laser-generated interference patterns.
