Founded in 1991, NAG is a Los Angeles based bi-coastal company that provides real-time visual render NAG Inc.

has the unique capacity to manage enterprise geospatial implementation and to prove the success of products and services for both public and private sectors. Our passion has always been for our work, and it is a testament to our speed of implementation (in which we finish tasks in days and weeks that take our competitors months and years). The beauty of our work is that our applications require m

inimum maintenance after we’re done, which has reaped great praise for being a firm that creates technology that can be easily modified without the worries of complications. Because of this, our customers renew their software licenses with our firm; this makes up proud as a company to be able to stand by our work and know that we succeeded in our job to create a more efficient way to work. We have developed a significant set of integration tools centered on Google Geo; NAG has done this by cultivating a unique approach to integrating Google into our customer IT infrastructure through the use of our transactional engine. Our flexibility to adapt to individual customized enterprise environments has been one of our greatest assets and traits that have grown over the last two decades.

This is a video recording of our production version of Windows on Earth on the ISS. The application runs on 21 laptops on board feeding off the ISS Server. Astronauts use this application as a navigational tool to recognize what they are viewing out of any one of 14 windows on the station that provide them with views of the earth. The app has four panels that provide information on different aspects of their orbit around the earth. Future posts will breakdown the panels to explain each function.

Cloud patterns over the Canary Islands; astronaut photography taken from the International Space Station on June 28, 2020. The patterns may represent micro weather phenomena on the ocean surface. Large areas of the earth are often obscured by cloud cover. To help astronauts recognize cloud patterns when looking out of the cupola or other windows, we obtain images daily from the University of Wisconsin, Space Science and Engineering Center, Satellite Data Services (UW SSEC SDS), Madison WI. These images are accurately projected over our Google Globe of the Earth for the benefit of the astronauts. About a week earlier, plumes of dust generated over the Western Sahara traveled across the Atlantic. These are slightly detectable as haze towards the center of this photograph, most of the plume having already reached the shores of the US.

Night lights, Cape Town, South Africa. Photograph taken by an astronaut on the International Space Station on July 1, 2020. Google Maps provided as reference. The ISS orbits Earth once every 90 minutes or 16 times every day. Astronauts, therefore, experience 16 sunsets and 16 sunrises every 24 hours. Our major task is to convey requests for photography from ground control in Houston to the astronauts every day. For photography during an Earth night, our application allows the astronaut to switch to night mode to see Google Earth showing target markers for each requested photograph overlaid on night lights taken during previous missions, so they can recognize what they are seeing out of the selected window.

The first image of the Great Salt Lake near Ogden, Utah was taken from the ISS on July 6, 2020. The dramatic contrast in lake colors to the north and south of the straight line baffled me until I researched further. The difference in color: reddish pink to the north and greenish blue to the south are probably due to different types of algae living off salts (pink areas are saltier) in the two sections. The straight line is a railway causeway that runs from Promontory Point to the east, dividing the lake water and resulting in differences in chemical composition probably due to varying temperature and evaporation rates. The second image is from Google Maps provided as a reference. The third photograph was taken by Justin McFarland, published by Fox 13 News on September 1, 2018. Notice the stark difference in color between the photograph taken from space and the one taken at ground level. Colors appear different in space; We had to transform colors on our map of the entire earth to reflect colors as they appear from space before our navigation application for the astronauts could be developed. This is in order that features would be more easily recognizable as an astronaut looked out of one of the 14 windows on the Space Station.

On July 6, 2020 the ISS orbited over the Hawaiian Islands. I pre-selected two beautiful shots of the island of Oahu near Honolulu before I came across this oddly familiar shape. After the usual exploration that followed, I discovered that the deja vu sensation was because of an early project we had worked on with the fabulous Mike Walter, five time Emmy award winning broadcast journalist, on a documentary film of a crazy idea to build a massive wind farm initiated by the then owner of most of the island of Lanai, David H. Murdock that would have destroyed the rich cultural and historical traditions of the island. What struck me most about the plan was the massive sedimentation that would have flowed into the ocean of this priceless region between Lanai and Oahu which are the largest breeding grounds of the humpback whale in the Pacific. Besides, there would have been the associated problems with laying of the submarine cable that would link the two islands, the latter being the consumer for all the electricity to be generated by the proposed project. I understand the motivation behind Murdock's attempt to replace the dying pineapple farming economy on the island, but am glad that our model simulation of the proposed wind farm on Mike's documentary may have contributed towards Murdock abandoning the idea and selling 98% of Lanai to Larry Ellison of Oracle fame. Ellison has grand plans for the island as a new age tropical resort, but has to include local sentiment as an input to his plans if he expects unqualified success. An extract of our model (Engineering Systems is a subsidiary of NAG) from the documentary (Nathan White was our digital Architect for our project): https://docs.google.com/a/naginc.net/leaf?id=0BxV9e0yHd0G4ZDFhMDkzNGMtYzRkZS00MGIyLTg3MzctZmM4NDYzNWYxMmEy&hl=en_US

International Space Station photograph of the City of New Orleans, Louisiana on June 13, 2020. For reference, two images clipped from EOS Data Analytics, Inc.'s LandViewer. The terrain map illustrates how much of the area is below sea level making the area susceptible to flooding during storm surge in this hurricane-prone region. NAG provided consulting services to the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) to develop Virtual Louisiana on the Google Earth platform. During the Deep Horizon Oil Spill, we created a public-facing version called Louisiana Earth to monitor in near real time the damage caused by the spill that was viewed by over 2 million viewers.

Today's photograph taken from the ISS on June 10, 2020 is an oblique perspective of the Middle East, with Israel in the center, Jordan in the foreground, Saudi Arabia to the left (South), and Egypt in the background (West). To the right (North) is the Sea of Galilee, with traces of the River Jordan connecting it to the Dead Sea. Haifa, Gaza, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem are to the West of the two seas and the river connecting them. To the left (South) is the Red Sea with the Gulfs of Aqaba and Suez, the latter leading to the Suez Canal. West of the canal can be seen the lush Nile Delta fed by the River Nile in stark contrast to the surrounding desert. The deep blue Mediterranean Sea hugs the coastline towards the West and North of the land mass. The Space Station was flying over Jordan at the time the photograph was taken. Nathan White, your efforts to replenish the Salton Sea with sea water from the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) has its parallel in a similar project to replenish the Dead Sea with water from the Gulf of Aqaba.

A photograph of the moon taken from the International Space Station on June 5, 2020. The nadir point of the ISS over Earth at the time the photograph was taken is projected on Google Maps in the second image. NAG's involvement in digital mapping from space started with Google recommending us in 2010 to train scientists and engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on the Google Earth platform. During the training, we created a 'globe' for Mars and developed scripts to automate the 'wrapping' of data streams of satellite photography onto globes of Mars and Earth.

Interesting land formation near the east rim of the Grand Canyon on a photograph taken by an astronaut on the International Space Station on June 4, 2020. NAG's on board navigational tool simulates views from each of 14 windows (7 on the cupola) on the space station along with place names to help identify which region they are flying over. For reference, the corresponding area is displayed on Google Maps.

Night lights over the City of Khartoum, Sudan. This photograph was taken at 9:50 pm Sudan time from the International Space Station on June 3, 2020. The White Nile River divides the city south to north (from left to right in the orientation of the photograph). NAG's on-board 'Windows on Earth' software application provides navigational tools to the astronauts to figure out which region of the earth they are flying over in real time. The area is shown on Google Maps as a reference.
