About Maestro
Maestro is a Java application used to visualize imagery and science data returned
by the 2004 Mars Exploration Rovers Mission
. The software is co-developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the California Institute of Technology,
and is a public version of the Science Activity Planner (SAP) tool used by the Mars Rover
mission team. This port allows the software to be installed and run successfully under the
SGI IRIX 6.5.x operating system.
The port has been confirmed tested on SGI Octane workstations, as well as multi-processor SGI Onyx systems.
