SC2002 Intro

Introductory animation for the SuperComputing (SC) 2002 Conference Video. SC2002 will be held in Baltimore, MD from Nov. 16-22. The title of the conference is 'From Terabytes to Insights'. This conceptual animation shows the SeaStar satellite collecting data and transmitting its data down to a ground station somewhere on the east coast. The network of lines seen on the United States outlines the Abilene network backbone, symbolizing the massive amount of data sharing attributed by just one satellite.

Opening animation for the SuperComputing 2002 Conference.  Starts overlooking the earth and then zooms into a downlink beam on the SeaStar satellite which is collecting data over the southern United States.    Opening animation for the SuperComputing 2002 Conference.

Looking down upon the United States with the SeaStar satellite in the foreground.  In this shot, SeaStar is collecting data from the southern U.S.  A download is occurring from somewhere on the U.S. east coast which in turn is connected to the Abilene network backbone.    Looking down upon the United States with the SeaStar satellite in the foreground.
