Scientific paper

The Japanese Lunar Orbiter KAGUYA (SELENE) was launched on Sep.14 2007, and started nominal observation from Dec. 21 2007. KAGUYA has 15 ongoing observation missions and is obtaining various physical quantity data of the moon such as elemental abundance, mineralogical composition, geological feature, magnetic field and gravity field. We are working on the visualization of these data and the application of them to web-based GIS. Our purpose of data visualization is the promotion of science and education and public outreach (EPO). As for scientific usage and public outreach, we already constructed KAGUYA Web Map Server (WMS) at JAXA Sagamihara Campus and began to test it among internal KAGUYA project. KAGUYA science team plans the integrated science using the data of multiple instruments with the aim of obtaining the new findings of the origin and the evolution of the moon. In the study of the integrated science, scientists have to access, compare and analyze various types of data with different resolution. Web-based GIS will allow users to map, overlay and share the data and information easily. So it will be the best way to progress such a study and we are developing the KAGUYA WMS as a platform of the KAGUYA integrated science. For the purpose of EPO, we are customizing NASA World Wind (NWW) JAVA for KAGUYA supported by NWW project. Users will be able to search and view many images and movies of KAGUYA on NWW JAVA in the easy and attractive way. In addition, we are considering applying KAGUYA images to Google Moon with KML format and adding KAGUYA movies to Google/YouTube.
