NASA, Google Partner; Promise More "Real Time" Forecasts, Data

[Morgan Palmer]

Intriguing. Anything that can get satellite or any other data in end-users' hands faster is a good thing. But what about cost? We shall see. I'm interested in any further information/insights anyone has.

As the first in a series of joint collaborations, Google and Ames will
focus on making the most useful of NASA's information available on the
Internet. Real-time weather visualization and forecasting, high-resolution
3- D maps of the moon and Mars, real-time tracking of the International
Space Station and the space shuttle will be explored in the future.

I use to work in the super computer center at Ames and they have some serious visualization tools. Should be a good combo.

Sounds like a marraige between Google Earth and NASA WorldWind is in the works.
