This mission would fly a GOES-like spacecraft in a polar elliptical orbit around the Earth providing a large percentage of observing time for northern polar regions. This version of the visualization is a beauty shot first showing the orbit from afar, then moving into the orbital plane and riding the orbit as the spacecraft would.    Misstion proposal beauty shot Duration: 1.6 minutes Available formats:   720x486 (30 fps) Frames   640x480 (30 fps) MPEG-1   52 MB   320x240 (30 fps) MPEG-1   13 MB   320x240     JPEG         6 KB   320x240 (30 fps) X-FLV       2 MB How to play our movies    Mission proposal beauty shot still Available formats:   2560 x 1920     TIFF 4 MB   160 x 80           PNG       47 KB   320 x 240         JPEG       7 KB   80 x 40             PNG       11 KB Animation Number: 2933 Completed: 2004-03-24 Animators: Greg Shirah (NASA/GSFC) (Lead)   Tom Bridgman (GST)   Horace Mitchell (NASA/GSFC) Scientist: Lars Peter Riishojgaard (University of Maryland Baltimore County) Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: Terra/MODIS   GOES/AMSU (2001/01/16 to 2001/02/13)   Terra and Aqua/MODIS/Blue Marble: Next Generation Data Collected: GOES: 2001/01/16 to 2001/02/13 Series: Mission Proposals Keywords: SVS >> Proposal     Please give credit for this item to: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio Back to Top + Privacy Policy and Important Notices + Reproduction Guidelines NASA Official: Content Contact: Curator:
