NASA Porting More Data into Google Earth
Remember that NASA-Google Space Act Agreement I mentioned? Turns out it’s mostly NASA incorporating more data into Google Earth.
Google and the NASA Ames Research Center have signed an agreement to work together on a variety of projects that include large-scale data management and distributed computing and human-to-computer interfaces.
The search engine and the space agency said Monday that the first in the series of joint collaborations covered under the Space Act Agreement would make more NASA information available on the Internet.
