Because Google is continuously developing new solutions or it is trying to update the existing ones, the company is the target of powerful agreements demanded by a lot of firms and organizations, but only a few of them are offering a consistent partnership.
The latest agreement is made by Google and NASA that is meant to bring a more powerful view over the space exploration developed by NASA. It seems like Google Earth and Google Maps will be the first products that are going to be used by this agreement, because they
can display high resolution images captures from satellites.
"This agreement between NASA and Google will soon allow every American to experience a virtual flight over the surface of the moon or through the canyons of Mars. This innovative combination of information technology and space science will make NASA's space exploration work accessible to everyone," said NASA Administrator Michael Griffin at Headquarters in Washington.
The two companies are aiming to provide a real-time weather visualization and forecasting, high-resolution 3-D maps of the moon and Mars, real-time tracking of the International Space Station and the space shuttle will be explored in the future, as the press release says.
"Partnering with NASA made perfect sense for Google, as it has a wealth of technical expertise and data that will be of great use to Google as we look to tackle many computing issues on behalf of our users. We're pleased to move forward to collaborate on a variety of technical challenges through the signing of the Space Act Agreement," said Eric Schmidt, chief executive officer of Google.
The agreement will improve Google's popularity among space exploration's fans, the search giant being known as a company that wants to develop new products with users' help, feedback and opinions.
