NASA's vision is to “reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind.” While our missions provide large volumes of unique and invaluable data to the scientific community, they also serve to inspire and educate the next generation of engineers and scientists. One critical aspect of “benefiting all humankind” is to make our missions as visible and accessible as possible to facilitate the transfer of scientific knowledge to the public. The recent successful landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars exemplified this vision: we shared the landing event via live video streaming and web experiences with millions of people around the world. The video stream on Curiosity's website was delivered by a highly scalable stack of computing resources in the cloud to cache and distribute the video stream to our viewers. While this work was done in the context of public outreach, it has extensive implications for the development of mission critical, highly available, and elastic applications in the cloud for a diverse set of use cases across NASA.
