Earthlapse vs CassiniMIMI

Turn your iPad or iPhone into a window aboard the International Space Station. Experience stunning views of Earth captured by NASA astronauts. Touch the views and control the planet with your finger. A truly amazing one-of-a-kind experience. The app comes complete with 20 beautiful interactive views of Earth as well as access to the HDEV live view showing Earth live from the Space Station. In addition the app includes a relaxing ambient space soundtrack, a clock, and worldwide weather from Open Weather Please note that the ISS HDEV live feed is often off-line or otherwise unavailable. Even when online, the live view often shows black as the ISS is regularly on the dark side of Earth. Images courtesy of the Image Science & Analysis Laboratory, NASA Johnson Space Center.

NASA’s Cassini mission to Saturn has provided a unique opportunity for the Magnetospheric IMaging Instruments (MIMI) to study the energetic charged particle environment, and obtain images of Saturn using Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) imaging. There is a rich dataset of spectrograms, plots, movies, and images that are now accessible via a dedicated iOS app. Among the data products within the MIMI suite that are viewable through the app, include the ENA images of Saturn taken with the Ion and Neutral CAmera (INCA), and spectrograms and line plots from the Low Energy Magnetospheric Measurement System (LEMMS) and CHarge Energy Mass Spectrometer (CHEMS) particle detectors. The instrument health and safety data are restricted to Cassini team members, while the calibrated science data are available to all. The CassiniMIMI app provides easy access to some of Cassini browse products that are currently in NASA’s publically accessible Planetary Data System (PDS). For some products, the public is now able to see the most up-to-date plots produced on a daily basis. Also, the public now has access to new MIMI data products that are only in the process of being released to PDS. The publically available browse products are selectable by source, type, date, style, plots, and movies.
