This post is for the Intelligent Robotics Group. As Catherine Burton points out, IRG is a different group - NASA is a big place :-)
In my very biased opinion IRG is doing all of the right things with cartography using the official geowankers mind set: open source tools, open data, etc. Cheers, Rich On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 10:10 AM, Christian Willmes <[email protected]> wrote: > sounds like a great job, but remarkable that they don't mention their > own product WorldWind in this context and instead GE two times?! > > Anselm Hook schrieb: >>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >>> >>> GEOSPATIAL SOFTWARE ARCHITECT >>> >>> Title: Software Developer (full-time position) >>> Location: NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA >>> >>> Want to help NASA return to the Moon?
