NASA's Hyperwall: Revealing the Big Picture (2011)
2011508_Compliant_HYPERWALL_PromoCard_Science_Mission_Directorate_(SMD).pdf

We invite you to explore science at NASA. From the universe, to your backyard, we’ve got something to show you! Wondering what The Big Picture on the front of these two cards is all about? Find out on the other side. For starters, we’ve chosen a few examples of stories you may have seen on NASA’s Hyperwall. But that’s not all, you’ll also find links that allow you to discover extraordinary examples of our changing planet, and watch fascinating visualizations from NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio.

Operation IceBridge Aerial Views of Polar Ice (2010)
2010IceBridgeICE Postcard.pdf

Send a "note from the field" with a postcard featuring an image from Operation IceBridge, NASA’s six-year airborne mission to monitor Earth’s polar ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice. Display the front of the card to showcase a spectacular image from the mission. Turn the card over to read factoids and learn about the ice at Earth’s polar regions -- a major factor in the global climate system. Data collected during IceBridge is helping scientists maintain polar observations between NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), which stopped collecting science data in 2009, and ICESat-2, planned for late 2015. The mission is also yielding an unprecedented 3D view of targeted regions of interest, such as the dramatically retreating Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland.
