Orion CEV, Ares I & V LVs, & LSAM Lunar Lander Shuttle Replacement Spacecraft NASA Freeware: Free Softwareworldwind.arc.nasa.govWorld Wind from NASA's Ames Research Center is a freeware (totally free) 3-D virtual globe for your PC, using Landsat satellite imagery, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data, and USGS maps & aerial ortho photos (like Topozone & Terraserver). You can zoom the image in to any place on Earth from satellite altitude. You can also view the Earth's moon, Mars, Jupiter, and other planets. World Wind 1.3.5 is a 60 MB freeware download. screenshots To increase your enjoyment of World Wind, you can download the Landsat images and other data as large packages (e.g., Landsat 7 Level 0 is 359 megabytes), so that the data does not have to download (and you don't need to be online) while you are viewing. There are also over 200 free add-ons for World Wind, which let you do things like view world maps, good maps and aerial photos of all of France, or maps of South Africa, or track your position as read from your own PC-connected GPS receiver. World Wind help: http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/. (Google Earth is similar, but different, freeware, which has upgraded versions you must pay for.) |

Searching NASA with Google shows that NASA has over 20 million web pages and other online files, spread across hundreds of subdomains (plus pages at non-NASA.gov domains). This makes finding things difficult. NASA changes their URLs and search forms far too often without link redirects. Making things worse, NASA has created new unified homesites for their Centers. Thus Google shows 11,600 results at "nasa.gov/centers/johnson". But Google still reports 369,000 results at "jsc.nasa.gov".
