EarthKAM Explorer provides web-based 3D exploration of satellite images taken by middle school students through theISS EarthKAM program.

Select a mission to see the ISS orbit during that mission and polygons showing where all the images were taken. Select a polygon to fly to it and see the image, ISS location at that time, and related data. Also, follow the ISS in orbit, filter by school, and post to twitter.

EarthKAM Explorer is written in JavaScript usingCesium, an open-source WebGL virtual globe and map, so it runs in a browserwithout a plugin. It supports theLeap Motion controller forhand-gesture input as shown below (use thisurl).

EarthKAM Explorer was created in a weekend by developers fromAnalytical Graphics, Inc:@bagnell,@hpinkos,@mramato,@pjcozzi, and@shunter.
