Single session event

Steve McDonald has been gracious enough to come give a presentation on the operation and use of the new software program GeoVirgil.

GeoVirgil is an easy to use, cross platform planetary data analysis tool. It automatically downloads data from NASA and university servers, displays data as both a 2D map display and 3D fly over view and provides a variety of image processing functions. GeoVirgil integrates a variety of Mars data sets including Viking and Themis images, MOLA elevation, TES thermal inertia and albedo and gravity variation. It has received funding from NASA JPL and the data center at Brown University. GeoVirgil can be found on the web at http://www.SiliconSpaceships.com.
