Packaging a successful NASA mission to reach a large audience within a small budget.The development of unique visualizations in support of Solar-Terrestrial Physics & NASA's Polar Mission

To showcase the on-going and wide-ranging scope of the Polar science discoveries, the Polar science team has created a one-stop shop for a thorough introduction to geospace physics, in the form of a DVD with supporting website. The DVD, Earth's Dynamic Space: Solar-Terrestrial Physics & NASA's Polar Mission, can be viewed as an end-to-end product or split into individual segments and tailored to lesson plans. As part of this project a number of unique animations using data from all three cameras on the spacecraft were produced. The three different spectral bands, visible, ultra-violet, and X-ray, that the cameras operate in show the spectacular features of the Earths Aurora. The three instrument data sets all had very different properties and required special software to be developed to produce the visualizations.
