THE "3-DV" Application by NASA
'NASA' has developed an interactive application through which users can virtually view the launch pad and explore the space .Smartphone and tablet users can experience the excitement of standing on the launch pad beneath NASA's massive new rocket, the Space Launch System or SLS, with the app that previews the starting point for the journey to Mars.
The app works by pointing the device up to see to the top of the rocket, or holding level to see the details of the solid rocket boosters and engines, NASA said no matter where the user is, opening the scene viewer portion of the app shows what the device's camera would see if it were at the launch pad with the huge SLS rocket setting up for liftoff.
These views won't exist in real-life until NASA sends SLS carrying an Orion spacecraft to a distant retrograde orbit around the Moon as the agency pioneers deep into space, but gives users a taste of what the powerful launches will entail.
