A NASA website is working to allow the public to explore the solar system – as they never have been able to before. “Eyes on the Solar System” is a virtual tour of our cosmic neighborhood that has been developed using actual data from NASA’s planetary missions. Guests can explore with such famous names as Pioneer, Voyager, Galileo, Cassini – and Curiosity. As the rover prepares for its historic landing, NASA has included a feature that allows viewers to track the MSL rover in real-time.
The website’s motion graphics details where MSL is at that moment. It also projects the rover’s future moments so guests can see what Curiosity will be doing in the future. If they prefer to look at the rover from a different angle – they have that option (the rover can be viewed from almost any angle that they desire). Viewers can travel with Curiosity all the way to Gale crater or watch live.
This interactive program allows viewers to tour the solar system from their computer, soaring over the plains of Mars, traveling through the asteroids and above the rings of Saturn. It’s up to you. You control space and time.
AmericaSpace and The Mars Society have partnered to provide in-depth coverage of the arrival of the Mars Science Laboratory rover “Curiosity” to Mars. Stay tuned for regular updates as AmericaSpace correspondents Craig Covault and Frank O’Brien travel to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California for live coverage.
I am beginning a new curiosity
For JPL and Team NASA
As my father Floyd J Shirley
Worked for JPL in the 50″s
And NASA was not a home name
At that time. He designed many
Projects including satellites
Aerospace Engineer is his title
And in the 1950″s there were
Very few
He was fluent in German
Russian English Nordic and
Played the Violin prominently
His team was also the
Werner Von Bron Team
I hope to se history of Curiosity
And the Mars expedition
In this gleeful moments striding
America’s Pioneers into the
Galactic and Intergalactic Conquests
A American country so known
For while bringing knowledge
To the children and better understandings
Of nature . As told by scientists that
Were at our home In West Covina
And those from Goddard Space Center,
On young shoulders the boldest
And bravest arrive to have keys to
Living organisms, understanding of
Human and Spiritual life we remain
To develop and bring the quest
Of Opportunity to cherish life
Are grandeur of eloquence
Great or Small, life in its
Blissful forms galaxial tantrums
Or cosmos ulna, all forms of
Star life may we all understand life
From other galaxy’s be in natured
Or spirit, vibrational in part,
Echoes in parts , sonics in part, rhythms
To every seed, look all men and women
A further some quest for all
To know that man is from his
Chartered star system with
Skill Witt n strength he nettles afar.
It’s down now =/ Perfect timing.
