Data From the Rescued ISEE-3 Spacecraft Have a New Internet Home
“… instead of heading to L1, ISEE-3 cruised gracefully past the Earth and moon, continuing onward into its 355-day orbit, gradually pulling away from us. But the spacecraft is silent no more. As promised, the reboot team has commanded ISEE-3 to begin sending home science data from its working instruments. Those data have a new Internet home, where they can be downloaded for free by citizen scientists. Google and the ISEE-3 Reboot Project have announced a new website, called “A Spacecraft for All.” It’s part-interactive documentary and part-data portal–and altogether pretty impressive. The website was built by Google Creative Lab, which brings together “writers, designers, filmmakers, technologists, and wild cards,” according to its website. NASAWatch.com editor Keith Cowing, who leads the ISEE-3 Reboot Project with Skycorp CEO Dennis Wingo, said Google was interested in telling ISEE-3’s story from early on.”
