Eyes on the Solar System is JPLs cool new tool for we 'armchair explorers' to use and follow spacecraft as they explore space.
Check it out here.

As Doug said: ...go find the NEAR mission and watch it's orbital phase with Eros.... see the Pioneer 11 flyby of Jupiter, and go 'OMFG' at the Ulysses trajectory. There's a million things we're still trying to put into it - chances are any suggestions someone might have, we've already got it on a very very unfunded list of 'love to put in...' - but make suggestions

So go for it. Try it out and if you have some cool ideas, leave a message here.

It's a thought. We're using the same data you do basically ( SPICE ) so they should tie up. The system is very very flexible ( look at the URL for the EPOXI Live, for example - it just calles Eyes... with a document that defines the 'live' experience, and this could be done for just about anything.

Meanwhile - if anyone's thinking "wtf?"

Yup - that was me, in a recording booth, for 3 hrs.

The web unity player just crashed my firefox ... :-(
Anyway, personally, I would prefer if it could create a "snapshot" of the view, similar to the solar system simulator, as the whole application takes a long time to read, and I fear interference with my javascripts.

Meanwhile, do you have a "url map" to the live missions you cover? I can use that to provide a link from my pages to Eyes on a mission by mission basis.
