Kasper
The Kasper software system was designed and developed as part of a undergraduate capstone project at Northern Arizona University by a team of computer science majors. This project, whose goal was to imporve access to the kaguya hyperspectral image dataset, was sponsored by the United States Geological Survey Astorgeology Science Center (usgs). Kaguya is a lunar orbiter launched by the Japanese Space Administration (JAXA) which was in operation from September 2007 to June 2009. The project was implemented through a novel three layer architecture consisting of a spatially enabled MongoDB database, a Node.js based application server, and a leaflet map based frontend user interface. This architecture allows for large amounts of data to be streamed through the system dynamically.
