1. Online Public Interface and Outreach ASTEP Website and Remote Science Collaboration Server 7/30/03

2. Goals for Public Outreach (external from ES) Provide a public interface that is scalable by multiple data types for science return. Express multiple data types from the field team and the remote scientists within a friendly online UI. An web interface which can be used by both the public and the mission participants. Design a system which can assimilate and archive data quickly with minimal human interaction.

3. Online Public Interface | 1st Generation Created for the average public audience. Single developer limitation. Hard to navigate directly to science data. No remote science interface.

4. Online Public Interface | 2nd Generation Created for both public and scientific audiences. Multiple developers. Easy to update. Scalable. Cons Flash 5.0+ dependent. Non-traditional navigation system. Frames dependent.

5. Future Considerations Dynamic updating from the field (little or no human integration) Solid communication loop between the ground truth team and the remote scientists using a low bandwidth web/email solution. e.g. Winlink. (global email system used by the Americas Cup) Improve how multiple web developers can create a unified interface for science return.
