NASA, Google begin partnership
Posted: Tue, Dec 19, 2006, 7:15 AM ET (1215 GMT)
NASA and Google announced Monday that they would work together to help make NASA's vast archives of images and other information available on the Web. Under the Space Act Agreement between NASA and Google, the search engine giant will work to make "the most useful of NASA's information" available online, from real-time weather visualizations to high-resolution three-dimensional maps of the Moon and Mars, although no date for when such visualizations would be available was announced. Future collaboration between the two could include "joint research, products, facilities, education and missions," according to a statement. NASA's Ames Research Center, located in Silicon Valley, and Google first planned to collaborate on such ventures about a year ago, although the deal was only finalized on Monday.
