|---|---|---|
Communications and imaging experiments conducted in the Arizona desert during July of 2002 with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) helped to identify a fundamental suite of scientific instruments focused on surface composition and temperature determination for the calibration and validation of NASA and USGS spaceborne and airborne sensors and to integrate them with a hybrid mobile wireless and satellite network for lunar and planetary exploration and emergency response. The 2002 experiment focused on the exchange of remotely sensed and ground truth geographic information between analysts and field scientists. That experiment revealed several modifications that would enhance the performance and effectiveness of geographic information networks (GIN) for lunar and planetary exploration and emergency response. Phase 2 experiments conducted during June 2003 at the USGS Earth Resources and Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center's geologic imaging test site near Dinosaur National Monument in the NE Utah desert incorporated several of the lessons learned from the 2002 experiment and successfully added five major new components: (1) near-real-time hyperspectral and multispectral satellite image acquisition, (2) remotely controlled and coordinated mobile real-time ground sensor measurements during the imaging satellite overpass, (3) long-delay optimized Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol TCP/IP protocols to improve network performance over geosynchronous communications satellite circuits, (4) distributed, multinode parallel computing on NASA's Internet Power GRID (IPG), and (5) near-real-time validation of satellite imagery as part of a successful test of the NASA-USGS National Emergency Mapping Information System. |
