Australia, 22 February 2007 – A new visualisation tool on the ACRES (Australian Centre for Remote Sensing) web page will allow visitors to get a real-time, bird’s eye view of the planet from a suite of Earth observing satellites.
The front page of the tool displays a list of all satellites from which ACRES acquires data. After selecting a satellite, a ‘third party’ web tool called Earth Viewer displays a representation of Earth below the current position of that particular satellite.
