View a ‘real-time’ representation of the Earth from ACRES satellites

A new visualization tool on the ACRES web page will allow visitors to get a real-time, bird’s eye view of the planet from our suite of Earth observing satellites. The front page of the tool displays a list of all satellites from which ACRES acquires data. After selecting a satellite, a 'third party' web tool called Earth Viewer displays a representation of Earth below the current position of that particular satellite. To view the visualization tool see http://www.ga.gov.au/acres/acres_view.jsp then simply select a sensor from the list
