  1. QuestionAny PDS Interest in“Mission Visualization?” NAIF Node

  2. Definition • As for “geometry engine,” the term “mission visualization” probably means something different to each person • NAIF is asking about any PDS interest in mission visualization within the observation geometry domain that SPICE deals with • But possibly extended to include the notion of “events,” particularly as this applies to times of instrument data taking • Perhaps this question should eventually be extended to include a broader definition of visualization?

  3. Examples of Mission Geometry Visualization Tools USA Foreign • Satellite Toolkit (AGI) • SOAP (Aerospace Corp.) • Science Opportunity Analyzer (JPL) • GeoViz (SWRI) • Solar System Simulator (JPL) • GoView (Paul Upchurch/Caltech) • Eyes on the Solar System (JPL) • Solar System Visualization Project (JPL) • TBALL (JPL) • JMARS (ASU) • Planet Viewers (SETI) • Free Flyer (A.I. Solutions) • DSim (Princeton Satellite Systems) • SciBox (APL) • Cosmographia/Celestia (Open source) • CK View (DLR) • MEXSOA (DLR) • SOLAB (ESA) • RSGS (ESA) • 3D View (CDPP) • Field of View Visualizer (JAXA) • Luna-Glob Orbit Visualization (ROSCOSMOS)

  4. Two Quick Demos • Rather than show a bunch of slides I’ll show two quick demos of two tools that address “mission visualization” as I see it. • Eyes on the Solar System (JPL) • A web-based tool, mostly aimed at public outreach kinds of presentations • Uses only “canned” data assembled at JPL • Data are mostly derived from SPICE • http://eyes.nasa.gov/index.html • Cosmographia (Open source, next gen of Celestia) • A local application, more suited to professional scientists and engineers • Can use SPICE and some built-in data • Getting some traction at JPL • http://www.cosmographia.info/

  5. What to do? • Does PDS wish to take any action towards further developing and then offering, or pointing to (endorsing), some kind(s) of mission visualization products? • If so, when and how to proceed? • As Michael New has noted, most folks are already busy with PDS4 and other work.

  6. The Demos • Eyes on the Solar System • “Cassini’s tour” • Advanced; Spacecraft; Mars missions; MRO • Cosmographia • Basic workings • Two of several scripts prepared by Boris • MRO-CRISM • GRAIL-MK (MoonKams)
