Space Shuttle Interactive has been designed for a rich multimedia experience on the ipad. Your senses of sight, touch and sound will let you explore the wonderful world of the Space Shuttle.
This amazing vehicle is a rocket, an orbiting satellite and a plane that glides back to an earth-based runway to be reused flight after flight. Let’s discover what a shuttle crew does on a mission, how the shuttle works and how much this extraordinary fleet of orbiters has accomplished over its 30 years of triumphs and tragedies.
Visually experience how a shuttle stack weighing nearly three million pounds is transported from the gigantic Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad by a Crawler-Transporter that is as wide as an eight-lane highway. Learn interactively how the Space Shuttle helped build the largest ever orbiting spacecraft, the International Space Station. Discover some of the shuttle’s technology spinoffs such as a tiny heart pump used to save lives of heart transplant patients.
Take a cinematic ride with each of the Space Shuttle’s on their flights to new scientific frontiers. Interact with the Space Shuttle’s Mission Directory to discover what the orbiters, payloads and crew encountered during their 135 journeys into space. After traveling over a half a billion miles, where are the shuttles now and what is their latest mission?
Discover for yourself why Space Shuttle Interactive is an exceptional experience made for your ipad. You are just a touch away to download and liftoff.
