Satellite Imagery in New Hampshire

Filed under: 3D Satellite Imagery

If you’re anywhere near Concord, New Hampshire, you’re in luck.  There have been some major upgrades and improvements to what was already “the most technologically advanced planetarium within a 900-mile radius…”  The Discovery Center has some amazing features that you should know about, as fans of satellite images.

And it has gotten bigger. The 45,000-square-foot McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, which essentially quadrupled the Planetarium’s size, had its unveiling Friday, March 6, at 4 p.m. with rave reviews.

The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center was named after and honors the Concord teacher, who died in the explosion of the Challenger spaceship.  The Center features such opportunities as walking on the surface of the sun, planning trips to Mars and manning the controls of a space shuttle.  Can’t do that just anywhere!  It makes use of NASA’s satellite imagery and satellite maps to make the impossible possible for over 60,000 people a year.

It makes a fun family day or date.  Check it out for yourself!
