Immersive and Interactive Orbiter Docking Simulation
(Beta)
If you have and comments, installation and operation
problems or an idea of how we could enhance MarsFlight,
you can send your ideas to NASA via e-mail to Tim
Dedula.
Our Scenario
SpaceSim is a realistic Space Simulation
that mimic's the sights, sounds, and challenges that
actual astronauts experience as they Rendezvous and
Dock with the International Space Station. SpaceSim
immerses students in the cockpit of the Space Shuttle
Orbiter and provides them with realistic scenery,
displays, and controls that enable them to rendezvous
and dock successfully. SpaceSim can also immerse students
outside the Space Shuttle Orbiter simulating an interactive
spacewalk experience.
Special Thanks
SpaceSim was made possible through
generous support from the Glenn Research Center's
Educational Programs Office. NASA/Glenn designed the
software and provided project management. The software
was developed outside of NASA by VRSim, Inc. SpaceSim
was developed to inspire our next generation of Explorers
who participate in the National Science, Engineering,
Mathematics, and Aerospace Academy (SEMAA) program
that is managed by the Glenn Research Center's Educational
Programs Office.
System Requirements
Windows XP or 2000
Pentium 4/2.4 GB or Better
Open-gl Graphics card w/min. 128 MB onboard memory
or better
Joystick and Mouse
Future Enhancements of SpaceSim
SpaceSim only runs on a PC-Compatible Workstation.
A Mac version is currently not planned.
If you have and comments, installation
and operation problems or an idea of how we could
enhance SpaceSim, you can send your ideas to NASA
via e-mail to Tim
Dedula.
