Fly over the Dwarf Planet Ceres: New animation based on images taken by Dawn spacecraft, processed by imaging FPGA
by Steve Leibson - Xcell Daily Blog - Xilinx, Feb. 02, 2016 –
NASA's JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) has just released a thrilling flyover video animation based on a 3D model of the Dwarf Planet Ceres. (You can see and play with a 3D model of Ceres here.) Dawn's Framing Camera shot these images while the spacecraft was in a high-altitude mapping orbit. The false-color movie and the 3D model are based on images taken by the Dawn spacecraft and Dawn's Framing Camera team at the German Aerospace Center, DLR, created the 3D model and this video. (More information on the creation of 3D asteroid models from images here.)
