With the open Google Maps API you could have some interesting mashups - overlays for the current position of the groundtrack of the various orbiters for example, Day\night, Insolation... |

QUOTE (PhilCo126 @ Mar 13 2006, 04:12 PM)  No it wasn't. It was made with the same data that was used to make google mars. We used the same source data for both the video and google mars. And you can't use the mars data with the public api just yet. That'll be coming soon, though. |

Gives me a chance to get up to speed with the Maps API(s).

I was just thinking the same thing as regards myself... funny that  What would be ideal is if JPL (say with the Horizons website) would have a web app that generates an XML file with the real-time positions (& maybe velocities) of the usual suspects, which people could use from there for Google Mars visualizations. -------------------- |

I fought hard to get that logo! Our NAIF servers already deliver real-time position information in a web friendly format. The app that displays the spacecraft positons for the maps api is already in the works, and will likely be what we launch the "mars data now available in the public api" changes with. |

Seriously, this is a nice outreach effort but I'm not sure what Google's motivation or long-term commitment is. And what's with all of those gaps in the IR mosaic? (I guess I have to take the blame for the MOC mosaic looking like crap in spots.) If you could drill down to individual MOC NA frames, that would be cool! -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
