Research current and past ISS experiments using the same app the astronauts use!
Description (
Characters: 2689 of 4000
)
Explore the diverse ecosystem of experiments being researched on the International Space Station – both completed and ongoing. Investigate the results and benefits of many of the experiments and find out why performing research in a microgravity environment is so important. The Space Station Research Explorer provides current information on ISS experiments, facilities and research results through video, photos, interactive media, and in-depth descriptions. The Experiments section provides access to the six main experiment categories and their subcategories. Experiments are depicted as dots within the category system and the stems connecting the dots to the system depict the length of time the experiment spent on orbit. Users can drill down to see specific experiments within the categories and subcategories or search for a specific experiment or subject using the search option. Experiment descriptions consist of links, images, and publications if available. The Experiments section can be further narrowed by selecting a specific expedition and sponsor by using the dials at the top right of the screen. Experiments can be added to a favorites list for quick access. The Lab Tour section provides an interior view of three of the station modules; Columbus, Kibo, and Destiny, and an exterior view of seven external facilities; ELC1-4, Columbus-EPF, JEM-EF and AMS. The module interiors can be navigated by dragging up and down to see different sides of the module and left and right to view any racks not shown on the screen. Tapping a rack gives a brief description of the rack and an experiment description if available. For the externals, the platform is shown and can be rotated and zoomed. Payloads on the external racks are labeled and the labels can be selected for more information. The Facilities section provides information on all of the facilities available on board the International Space Station that can be used to conduct experiments. The facilities are broken up into six categories: Physical Science, Human Research, Biology and Biotechnology, Earth and Space Science, Multipurpose, and Technology Development and Demonstration. These include facilities such as centrifuges, additive manufacturing facility and glove boxes. The Benefits section provides information about the microgravity laboratory highlighting groundbreaking discoveries helping society, technologies tested for future space exploration, new scientific breakthroughs, and contributions to the growing low-Earth orbit (LEO) economy. The Media section provides links to science-related videos. The Links section is an index of space station research sites and NASA applications.}

Easy to work on the finest of these labs which I normally don't have the time and courage. This App is one of the best I can find solace and deep understanding whilst travelling within Space. The other side of the universe is yet to explore. Hopefully I can give some insights into your ability to think even further.

Prioritizes form over function to the functional detriment of functionality. it's way too hard to navigate. Needs back and forth arrow keys to cycle though experiment info. Needs main menu to display all options simultaneously.

Really great app, a full compendium of knowledge about the experiments and research that has been taken on the ISS, and even more information. Superb colourful and innovative User Interface adds to the great user experience and it's at the same time logical intuitive and easy to use. The number of aggregated diagrams includes the most important stats and pieces of information about the ISS. Unfortunately, after the latest update, the fancy UI freezes the app too often to be useful.

This is garbage, if this is the real app astronauts use to do research then it's no wonder they don't know anything about space. I heard the whole thing is fake anyways, my buddy in the Navy says that there's a dome up there and we're in an aquarium and antartica is really a wall and the earth is flat as a pancake. He said he seen the ice wall where it connects to the dome with his own 2 eyes. I can't post em here, but he even has photos. Liars. No good liars is all you are.

Eu daria 5 estrelas se tivesse outros idiomas... Restrito ao inglês limita muito o publico.
