World Wind is an Open Source virtual globe developed by NASA for use on personal computers running Microsoft Windows. The program overlays NASA satellite imagery and United States Geological Survey aerial photography on a 3D model of the Earth, Moon and Mars. (Venus and Jupiter are also available in the File menu, as well as the four Galilean moons of Io, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto. World Wind also uses SDSS imagery.) Microsoft has allowed World Wind to incorporate Virtual Earth data for non-commercial use.

- World Wind is an open-source (released under the NOSA license) virtual globe first developed by NASA in 2003 for use on personal computers and then further developed in concert with the open source community since 2004. The original version relied on .NET Framework, which ran only on Microsoft Windows. The more recent Java version, World Wind Java, is cross platform, a software development kit (SDK) aimed at developers and, unlike the old .NET version, not a standalone virtual globe application in the style of Google Earth. The SDK includes a suite of basic demos, available at goworldwind.org. The World Wind Java version was awarded NASA Software of the Year in November 2009. The program overlays NASA and USGS satellite imagery, aerial photography, topographic maps, Keyhole Markup Language

(Venus and Jupiter are also available in the File menu, as well as the four Galilean moons of Io, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto. World Wind also uses SDSS imagery.) Microsoft has allowed World Wind to incorporate Virtual Earth data for non-commercial use. Users interact with the selected planet by rotating it, and zooming in and out. Five million placenames, political boundaries, latitude/longitude, and other location criteria are included. World Wind provides the ability to browse maps and other imagery on the internet using the Open Geospatial Consortium Web Map Service, import ESRI shapefiles and placemarks from kml/kmz files.
