Description: Shuttle Commander allows you to take part in the Hubble Space Telescope missions first hand with accurate recreations of the space missions, shuttle cockpit and Hubble Space Telescope. Join the crew on the space shuttle missions and assist in the deployment and servicing of the Hubble. Celebrate the discoveries and experience how this remarkable apparatus changed our understanding of the universe around us through science visualization segments which are based on actual data discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope over the past 3 decades. Fly the space shuttle in an accurate physics-based landing simulation and take control of the Canada Arm in space as you witness the Earth pass below during a full day/night cycle.
Review: This is one of those virtual simulations that I feel you have to have some interest in before you even consider downloading the app. I have to say, it looks amazing are really does put you in the shoes of a mission operative onboard the NASA Space shuttle. While some people will moan that it is over far too quickly for the asking price I think this is one of those apps people will play over and over. Not because it offers more of a challenge, but because it is so immersive in the first place. A good app indeed, but maybe not for everyone.
