NASA and Google sign an agreement


NASA Ames Research Center and Google have completed a "Space Act Agreement" first announced by Google CEO Eric Schmidt in September 2005. Google and the government space agency will team up on an array of projects from "large-scale data management and massively distributed computing, to human-computer interfaces."

Announcement from Google:
As the first in a series of joint collaborations, Google and Ames will focus on making the most useful of NASA's information available on the Internet. Real-time weather visualization and forecasting, high-resolution 3-D maps of the moon and Mars, real-time tracking of the International Space Station and the space shuttle will be explored in the future.This is a big deal when it comes to prodcasting live feeds on the weather,the moon,Mars.

At TrendMania we anticipate for the next Google step on this matter.
