Image use is divided into 2 categories: Educational, and Commercial.

Educational Usage

Educational use is most often associated with non-profit organizations. To qualify as educational use, the end product must be distributed free of charge. Also, the product must be used to educate the public and may not be used to advertise a company, services, or products. Educational use also includes using images to accompany one-time articles in a daily/weekly periodical (newspaper/magazine) since the article is not used to increase circulation, but is used to better illustrate a subject while providing information to the public. A commercial company may qualify for educational usage when hired by a non-profit organization to produce an educational materials that are distributed free of charge.

If you are not 100% sure that the use is purely educational, it is best to make a commercial request.

When used for an educational purpose, all of the images may be used as long as the image is properly cited. The citation is present at the bottom of each image page.

This general permission does not extend to use of the Nebula Aerospace insignia logo.

Commercial Usage

If you plan to use the images commercially, you must request permission. Commercial use includes any product that is not distributed free of charge. This includes products by non-profit organizations that are sold at cost or used to raise funds even if the product is meant to provide education. It also includes advertisements or materials used to market products or services.
