iPhone became the first smart phone that follows the journey into space. In the summer of 2011, space shuttle Atlantis will carry two handsets made by Apple it to the International Space Station to test the application.
Applications that were tested is Spacelab, developed the software maker from Houston, Odyssey Space Research. When the iPhone 4 out, a programmer at the company realizes that it can be used in space experiments to test the vehicle's position and orientation with a gyroscope, camera and sensor.
''In the test, astronauts use the iPhone to perform four experiments,''explained Chief Officer of Electronic Odyssey electronista.com Brian Rishikof as quoted on Friday (10 / 6).
The first test done on the leg tracker to estimate the height of the image edge of the curved earth. Then the sensor calibration test with the iPhone camera and other sensors to adjust the gyroscope and accelerometer.
The next test is the introduction of spatial order to match the picture of the earth with an image database of the country's national boundaries. The trial last used on a computer by examining the effects of radiation single bit changes in the phone memory.
Applications that reportedly will be sold to the public at a price of U.S. $ 1. However, most iPhone users do not have access to space travel, some features of the application will be simulated. IPhone plan and the space shuttle Atlantis will be launched on STS-135 on 8 July.
