The Use of CASDE in the Maverick
Space Shuttle Simulation Lab

In the Maverick Space Shuttle Simulator, CASDE is used by mission specialists at their stations to analyze and observe satellite images of landforms and historical landmarks.

 Examples:

The Nebraska Historical specialist views historical landmarks in Nebraska. She zooms in from low to high resolution images to collect data on these landmarks.
