What datum (reference ellipsoid) does Nasa Worldwind use?

Question

What datum (reference ellipsoid) does Nasa Worldwind use?

I can't seem to find where Nasa Worldwind tells explicitly what datum they use. I need some sort of valid link.

For what? The display? Or the reference system for the maps? — PMF, Mar 4, 2014 at 9:03

plate carree <> datum. It's the map projection, not the earth model. The first link says WGS84; the 2nd link doesn't say.

I would prefer a more official confirmation rather than some random guy in the Nasa Worldwind forums.
