Right now, if you download a copy, it is currently populated with data from our pre-landing tests. But over the next few days and weeks, we will release updated data sets of the actual Spirit (and eventual Opportunity) science data that can be plugged in to the software. So you can come and explore Mars right along with the science team, using the same software tools they are using!
p.s. just wait until you see the color images...  |
Very cool program Dave, it looks like it should become even better when it's updated with the new data sets. I'll give one warning though, it seems to be a system hog (so it's probably not for people w/ 56k or slow computers).
Congrats and good luck with Opportunity.
