1. Colorado Space Grant Consortium
Science Mission
The primary mission of DINO is stereoscopic imaging of cloud formations.
Similar technology as demonstrated in major sporting events.
Overlapping images of the same object from different angles provides a 3-dimensional photograph.

2. Colorado Space Grant Consortium
Science Mission
Analysis of images will be performed onboard the s/c.
Images processed and ranked for coloring and edge distinction.
Image opportunities assessed from analysis of first image.
Stereo images combined to form a topographic map of cloud heights for downlink.

3. Intelligent Operations
Vitrual Mission Operations Control Center (VMOCC) will provide automated web-based s/c control.
Spacecraft Command Language (SCL) will provide onboard schedule execution and fault detection and reaction.
Real-time spacecraft data will be available via the internet for educational outreach.
