New HRISE Images of Mars Released

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Huge image release for September on the HRISE site this month, this month alone has a release of over 1500 images that will give you an “Airplane Like View” of the Martian surface.  The reason for the view is that the angle of the camera was not straight down, but at an angle of 22 degrees to give better views of features such as craters, slopes and valleys.

With a resolution of ~ 1 meter you will not be able to pick out landing craft and rovers though.  But still, the imagery is amazing to see.

55TB of New Imagery for WorldWind

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Well, ok.  Not exactly for WorldWind, but that is the latest update in imagery for Virtual Earth.  The largest updated section is in the Obliques (Bird’s Eye) imagery.  Check out the Virtual Earth Evangelist’s Blog for a complete list of what is in the latest update.

Still waiting for them to cover my area of Pennsylvania.. they have some back country areas in Bird’s Eye, but not populated areas.
