Google and the NASA Ames Research Center have signed an agreement to work together on a variety of projects that include large-scale data management and distributed computing and human-to-computer interfaces.

The search engine and the space agency said Monday that the first in the series of joint collaborations covered under the Space Act Agreement would make more NASA information available on the Internet. Such projects would include real-time weather visualization and forecasting, 3-D maps of the moon and Mars, and tracking of the international space station and the space shuttle.

"This innovative combination of information technology and space science will make NASA's space exploration work accessible to everyone," NASA administrator Michael Griffin said in a joint statement.
