Material Detail

This open-source application lets users experience Earth terrain in three dimensions, visiting any location by zooming in from satellite altitude. Fly-ins begin with a true-color image of the entire Earth (the "Blue Marble"), then employ Landsat 7 satellite imagery and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data to display landmarks, geographic and cultural features, eye-level views and fly-throughs. The website includes instructions for downloading the software, a description of its features, screenshots, and a users' forum. There are also example applications, data add-on packs for use while the NASA server is offline, a frequently-asked-questions feature, and an instruction manual.
