Videogames Receives NASA Space Act
Agreement To Develop Space Station Game
05/31/2004 01:55 PMVision Videogames of Towson, Maryland received a Space Act Agreement
from The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) earlier
this month to develop their PC/PS2/Xbox game, Space Station:SIM, due
for consumer release this Christmas season. The Space Act Agreement is
a continuation of one received by GRS Games before Vision Videogames
management bought out the company in March 2004. It allows Vision
Videogames a flow of information from, and access to, NASA personnel
so the company can gather information to build their game. “The game
has captured everyone’s imagination. We have individuals and
international agencies including JAXA (The Japanese Space Agency)
volunteering to help us with drawings, science, music – anything you
can imagine,” says company president Bill Mueller. In Space
Station:SIM, the player assumes the roll of the Chief Administrator of
NASA, creating astronaut crewmembers with unique needs, abilities and
personalities while managing their activities and personal
relationships like “The SIMS®”. [PRWEB May 31, 2004]

days it will be possible to see the
International Space Station with the naked eye. NASA has
posted
a massive list of world cities with optimal viewing times."
That spot was a chat between Ira Flatow and Alex Chadwick on the NPR

New Robot Arm Installed on Space Station
02/01/2005 10:04 PMNASA has announced
that a 5 hour 28 minute space walk by two ISS astronauts has been
completed and the International Space
Station now has a new, external robot arm. The
double-jointed manipulator arm is known as ROKVISS
(Robotics Component
Verification on ISS) and is part of a German commercial experiment.
The device can operate in both an autonomous mode and in a
telepresence
mode. The primary purpose of the arm is to test the long-term
reliability of new, lightweight robotics components in space. A
Sci-Tech
article has more info on the new arm and also mentions that the
astronauts discoverd a mysterious, white, honeycomb-like substance
growing on the outside of the space station during their spacewalk
(yikes!). More info about
the ROKVISS arm itself can be found in a 12
page concept overview document (PDF format).
