The Atmospheric Data And Mission Planning Tool in an Interactive Visualization Environment (ADAPTIVE) for Integrative Displaying of Space and Ground-based Data

One of the most difficult and often under-prioritized aspects of a science constellation mission is the organization, utilization, and visualization of the science payloads' data. The future Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) mission, which consists of six satellites with multiple payloads on each, has already begun to tackle this challenge. As one of the three interdisciplinary scientists (IDS) teams selected, The Aerospace Corporation's project will develop an open-source visualization tool. The Atmospheric Data And mission Planning Tool n an Interactive Visualization Environment (ADAPTIVE) application will consist of a backbone library with the ability to read a variety of data formats, produce 2-D and 3-D animated data maps, overlay disparate datasets, and produce animated visualizations, and extract user-selected data to files for further analysis. While there are many different models and plotting tools throughout the community, significant work and adapting of these tools would be required to address the needs of the GDC mission. An important aspect of the GDC mission is the importance of inclusion of ground-based and other supplementary data sources. Important features of ADAPTIVE is its flexibility to utilize non-GDC payload data. This presentation will introduce ADAPTIVE including its capabilities, structure, expected i/o, and development timeline. Example GUIs and the current development status will also be presented.
