Maryland Game Developer Vision
Videogames Receives NASA Space Act
Agreement To Develop Space Station Game
05/31/2004 01:55 PM

Vision 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®”.

New Robot Arm Installed on Space Station 02/01/2005 10:04 PM
NASA 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).
