Mitigation efforts are underway to ensure that WorldWindJS based projects are insulated from the effects of the NASA WorldWind project suspension.

WorldWindJS is a fork of the popularWeb WorldWindlibrary from NASA (with contributions from ESA). This fork provides a release channel for builds based on the latest fixesand features from WebWorldWind'sdevelop branch plus several "cherry-picked" enhancements from the WorldWind community.

This fork exists to support the development of several personal projects, including:

• Explorer - the WorldWind Explorer
• WMT v2.0 - Wildfire Management Tool v2.0 (under development)
• Bible Atlas - Geography and cartography of the Holy Land (under development)
• worldwind-react-globe - A React component for Web WorldWind
• worldwind-react-globe-bs4 - React Bootstrap4 UI components for Web WorldWind
• worldwind-react-app - A geo-browser web app using Web WorldWind with React and Bootstrap 4

WorldWindJS is made available in the spirit of the NASA motto:For the benefit of all. Show your support for this project by giving it astar!

• A template for creating geo-browser web apps with Bootstrap and Knockout (apps/worldwind-app-template).
• Keyboard navigation controls for the globe
• Improved the resolution of Bing imagery
• Support for a translucent night-image
• Removed dependency vulnerabilities

Web WorldWind is a 3D planetary globe engine built in JavaScript for the web, developed by NASA. The European Space Agency has provided valuablecontributions to this platform since 2015. Web WorldWind provides a geographic context complete with terrain, and acollection for shapes for displaying and interacting with geographic or geo-located information in 3D and 2D in anymodern web browser. High-resolution terrain and imagery is retrieved from remote servers automatically as needed, whileenabling developers to include their own custom terrain, imagery, 3D shapes, and position markings.

The project's website,worldwind.arc.nasa.gov has setup instructions, developer guides, API documentation and more.

The Web WorldWindDeveloper's Guide has a complete description of Web WorldWind'sfunctionality. In there, you will find many Web WorldWind resources, including a user guide and documentation for every module file.For complete beginners on WorldWind, theGet Started tutorial is the place to go.

The latest Web WorldWind release provides many simpleexamples showinghow to use most of Web WorldWind's functionality, as well as more involved smallapplicationsfor reference on how to use Web WorldWind in domain-focused GIS development.
