It was made just to test the camera sensor without any lenses, just a pinhole. That means that the photo blurs relative to the size of the pinhole, which probably wasn't that small.

To me the issue is all of the artifacts in the sensors. Obviously most of the time this is corrected in software but they look pretty rough.

I hoped they're making photos of a broccoli from the orbit...
