NASA Releases Interactive 3-D Views of Space Station, New Mars Rover
This is a view of a model of the Mars Science Lab in Photosynth.
NASA released an
interactive, 3-D photographic collection of internal and external views of the
International Space Station and a model of the next Mars rover on Thursday, May 7.
NASA and Microsoft s Virtual Earth team developed the online experience with
hundreds of photographs and Microsoft s photo imaging technology called Photosynth.
Using a click-and-drag interface, viewers can zoom in to see details of the space
station s modules and solar arrays or zoom out for a more global view of the
complex.
"Photosynth brings the public closer to our spaceflight equipment and hardware,"
said Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for Space Operations at NASA
Headquarters in Washington.
"The space station pictures are not simulations or
graphic representations but actual images taken recently by astronauts while in
orbit.
