Project Details

The JPL Space Garden features systems in current use at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for processing and visualization of science data returned by instruments flown on various NASA spacecraft. 
 
1 - Science Analysis Graphics Environment (SAGE) is a graphical interface to control processing of image data returned by exploration spacecraft such as the Galileo 
 
2 - Mission operations support software used by the Mars Pathfinder mission that landed 4 July 1997 including stereoscopic mission planning tools 
 
3 - Animated "fly-over" sequences produced from data of the Earth and other planets 
 
4 - VISTAS, an interactive tool for query/retrieval of earth observations data by the TOVS sensor 
 
5 - A software prototype for processing Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) data 
 
6 - Internet-accessible image database browsers to provide public access to space mission image archives 
 
7 - other examples of processing operational data
