Google and NASA will work together
Google signed last monday an agreement with NASA Ames Research Center. This is the first step in an promising partnership between the two parties.
The first step is is to publish information from NASA surveys and experiments for the public via the internet. In the near future both parties think about projects like real-time weather visualization and forecasting; high-resolution 3-D maps of the moon and Mars; and real-time tracking of the international space station or space shuttle. Partnering with NASA is very good for Google. This because NASA has a wealth of technical expertise and data which will be of great use to Google.
"This agreement between NASA and Google will soon allow every American to experience a virtual flight over the surface of the moon or through the canyons of Mars," "This innovative combination of information technology and space science will make NASA's space exploration work accessible to everyone." (NASA Administrator Michael Griffin)
