Latest on Google/NASA Work

Per the San Jose Mercury News:

According to [NASA group leader Terry] Fong, Google and NASA will begin in five weeks to unveil technology that will bring NASA data, such as atmospheric observations and sea temperatures, to the satellite navigation service Google Earth. The two organizations are working as well on a disaster-response project that will place real-time disaster data on Google Earth. That data could include the plume of a wild fire, the condition of a damaged bridge, or even the position of monitoring aircraft.

That demo sounds to me like many an OGC presentation. I wonder if the demo will use OGC standards?

"satellite navigation service Google Earth" Yikes! People seriously need some education on geospatial stuff. That is a "BAD" representation of what Google Earth is... I guess with the new evolving technologies and products everyone is getting confused with terms. Time for creating an industry standard terminology..

Shameless plug... Glad to hear that Google Earth will finally be catching up to my product EarthBrowser, about 3 years after I've done the same thing.

Three years, Matthew? That's all? ;-)

I noticed this go by on the osgeo mail list:

"I am pleased to announce the availability of a new service for the distribution of Earth science remote sensing imagery -- NASA Earth Observations Web Map Service (NEO WMS)."

http://neowms.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/wms/wms?version=1.3.0&service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities

So I guess it is an OWS which is nice because KML(one way street to GoogleEarth) is not the only option. It is disappointing to see data only available to ESRI or Google Earth so any support of OGC standards gets an applause from my corner.

Thankfully NASA seems to be much more inclined to interoperable standards than some other agencies.
