The Space Telescope Science Institute has applied to be part of Google's Summer of Code 2009. We are looking for motivated individuals to help us develop the next generation of interfaces to astronomical data.

 

Here are some of the ideas you might be working on:

 

GALEXView
Are you a Flex developer? Help us enhance our interfaces to the NASA Multimission Archive at Space Telescope!

We are looking motivated individuals who can help us write mashups using existing tools, or who are interested in performance enhancements to our existing code. Your testbed will be a database of 190 million objects extracted from the GALEX survey: a census of our nearby universe to determine how galaxies form and evolve.

GoogleSky
Are you interested in developing dynamic KML code for Google Sky (bundled with Google Earth)?
Over the past year we wrote a lot of code (C#, Java, Python) and made it public in KML or other form:
