OpenSpace: Public dissemination of space mission profiles

This work presents a visualization system and its application to space missions. The system allows the public to disseminate the scientific findings of space craft and gain a greater understanding thereof. Instruments´ field-of-views and their measurements are embedded in an accurate 3 dimensional rendering of the solar system to provide context to past measurements or the planning of future events. We tested our system with NASA´s New Horizons at the Pluto Pallooza event in New York and will expose it to the greater public on the upcoming July 14th Pluto flyby.
