Increment I Load NASA data in Open Map –User will be able to Navigate around Venus Display as much NASA data as possible

Increment I (Con’d) Integrate Gazetteer into Map –Assign IAU-approved names to their corresponding geographical features on Venus Image Processing –Zoom in and Zoom out

Increment II Modify the Map –Label Features –Highlight Areas –Save and Restore Feature Analysis Support –Compute Area –Compute Volume –Compute Mass –Compute Slope

Increment III Educational Information –Feature Information –Hyperlinks –Animation and Narration Pattern Recognition –Identify Features Online Application –Support multi-user sharing of information

Risks Read More than 10G of NASA Data Execution Speed Resources Restrains Project Complexity Schedule Slippage

Current Status Current progress –Completed Project Plan and Requirement Doc –Displayed small amount of Venus data in Open Map Current Issues –Display Large amounts of data Having enough Memory and disk space –Assemble image files and how to store them
