Haarlem, The Netherlands – 20 May 2010 – The end of the space shuttle era has begun. Last Friday the American shuttle Atlantis launched from the Cape Canaveral base (Florida) for its last flight into space. Later this year two other active space shuttles, the Discovery and the Endeavour, will also execute their final missions. • Experience the Liftoff shakes and engines roar right from the Commander's or Pilot's seats. • Perform mission procedures: press buttons, rotate knobs, control the General Purpose Computer and manually guide the Shuttle to a safe landing etc. • Perform variable-difficulty historical missions from STS-1 (the maiden flight), through secret DoD missions, and up to the recent ISS missions.
• Beautifully rendered Space Shuttle 3D virtual cockpit, Shuttle, International Space Station, Hubble, satellites • TrueEarth™ Global Satellite Imagery – licensed from TerraMetrics Inc. These are the same textures used by Google Earth. • First Person View, including Space Walks – you cannot get any closer to the ISS or Hubble than that! • Launch Control, Mission Control, Shuttle and Astronauts audio smart communications. • Three difficulty modes: from Novice which leads the "astronaut" through the tasks with context arrows and full text subtitles, to "Read the Manual and Checklists Commander!" • TrackIR(tm) Support in 3D Virtual Cockpit and first person view during EVA • Multiple-Monitor support for Matrox TripleHead2Go(tm) and Nvidia nView (tm) • Native support for Vuzix iWear VR920 Stereoscopic goggles + head tracking. This is the closest you can get to the NASA VR Labs where Shuttle Astronauts train for ISS missions (on compatible systems). • Space Shuttle Mission Simulator is an unforgettable experience. If you've ever wondered, how it feels to be in command of the Space Shuttle, to do "space walks" and float around the ISS, enjoy the view of our beautiful planet at dawn and sunset from space, this it! • You can find more about the Space Shuttle Mission Simulator at the official website at www.space-shuttle-mission.com About Exciting Simulations ™ Exciting Simulations ™ is an entertainment brand of Simsquared Ltd. – a leading developer of professional Virtual Reality Simulation applications with customers such as the US Coast Guard, US NAVY, Thales Group, NATO, Lockheed Martin, Textron Defense Systems, Elbit Systems etc |
For about 22 million euro you can buy yourself one of these space shuttles and reminisce about the good old days but you can save a lot of money with the new ultra realistic and award-winning simulator game Space Shuttle Mission Simulator: The Collector’s Edition. Designed to provide the experience and excitement of the NASA Space Shuttle missions in extreme detail, this game has just gone gold and has entered manufacturing for its European launch.
