Scientific paper

Over the years the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has collected an enormous amount of observational data from space missions. Using this scientific data in high school or college science education courses can be invaluable. Factors that impeded wide spread use of NASA planetary data in science education include accessibility to data and freely available software tools used to analyze and visually model planetary data sets. To address these issues we created a Graphical Analyses and Visualization Software Tool for Planetary Data (GAVPD). GAVPD is a web based software tool that can be used to visualize and analyze planetary data over the internet. GAVPD has a simple web based interface that allows users to create visual projections of altimeter data and make 2D and 3D surface measurements graphically. GAVPD is in currently a prototype and work is underway to extend its capability to other types of data sets.
