About:
Mars MOLA Viewer displays a fly-over rendering of the Martian surface, as measured by the Mars Global Surveyor, in real-time 3D animation. It downloads the Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter topographic data files and uses them to drive the rendering. The user controls the position and the angle of the camera, and can move seamlessly over the entire Martian surface from -88 to 88 degrees latitude. It is a Java Web Start program with 1-click installation from your browser (depending on platform/browser).
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
Mars MOLA Viewer now incorporates a Mars clock so the real time 3D terrain renders show the sun and lighting appropriately for your location, season, and time: you can watch the sun rise or set on Mars, and see the sun shift with the changing seasons. See the landscape as it would appear now, or at the date and time of your choice. A new bookmark feature helps you remember points of interest and return for further exploration. There's new support for Linux running native on AMD-64, as well as Linux and Windows on i386.
