NASA Satellite Visualization

The IRC has partnered with NASA/Goddard to visualize upcoming satellite missions for Earth and solar system scientific explorations. Ryan Zuber and Megan Willy, former Visual Arts IRC Fellows are leading this effort and are directing 2-3 Interns a semester on the projects. The IRC partners with mission scientists and NASA TV producers to understand the scope of the project and how to best visually represent the mission highlights in high definition animation.

Over the last year, the IRC has produced visualizations for the following missions:

    GLORY will study Earth’s atmosphere
    MAVEN will observe the Martian atmosphere
    VESPER will study the atmosphere of Venus
    The Solar Dynamics Observatory will study the sun
