Title:
Planetary Bodies: Mapping STAC Data
Abstract:
Humans have an innate nature to explore the unknown, discover new worlds, technologies and scientific achievements. Space exploration will lead to new technologies, industries and civilization which has led to an increase in space exploration among both federal and private citizens. In order to plan future space exploration, scientists need to use data and images that are gathered from satellites and non-human space missions. Traditionally, scientists have to process the gathered resources by using software that requires extensive knowledge. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Science Center has created a way of storing analysis-ready data in a SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC). However, what is still needed is a simple and easy to use way of accessing this analysis ready data from the USGS STAC API. In this project, we have built upon an existing planetary map web application to serve as a way of accessing the analysis ready data (ARD) from our clients, resulting in an application that will make researching future space exploration easier. In our newly updated web map application we implemented a way of displaying footprints of a target planetary body that can be clicked to bring up the associated analysis ready data from USGS STAC API. Inside the web map application the user can filter and query search to render footprints that are most important to their research needs. Based on our successful development, our clients plan to upload more ARD to their STAC catalog to be accessed internationally.
