Overview

The Scientific Visualization Studio (606.4) facilitates scientific inquiry and outreach within NASA programs through visualization, such as videos and animation. The SVS collaborates with scientists to create visualization products, systems, and processes to promote a greater understanding of Earth and Space Science research activities at Goddard Space Flight Center and within the NASA research community.

The SVS invites collaboration both from NASA researchers and from the external community. All SVS visualizations are freely available through the SVS website.
