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 has the camera riding the orbit as the spacecraft would with GOES clouds animating on the Earth. The clouds are constantly lit so as to provide an infra-red (IR) type of view.    Mission proposal for polar orbiting cloud sensor (with animated clouds) Duration: 50.0 seconds Available formats:   720x486 (30 fps) Frames   640x480 (30 fps) MPEG-1   26 MB   720x480 (29.97 fps) MPEG-2   42 MB   320x240 (30 fps) MPEG-1   6 MB   320x240     JPEG         12 KB   80x40         PNG           6 KB   160x80       PNG           22 KB   320x240 (30 fps) X-FLV       1 MB How to play our movies Animation Number: 2934 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: GOES (2001/01/16 to 2001/02/13)   Terra/MODIS   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:
