## What is DLR COMETS?

The European Rosetta mission arrived at Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in August 2014 after a 10-year journey through space. Three months later, the Philae robotic lander touched down on the comet – the first probe to do so in the history of humankind. It was a fantastic scientific adventure and an exceptional spaceflight project.
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) takes you on a journey to the origins of the Solar System with this exhibition app “DLR COMETS - The Rosetta mission: Journey to the origin of the Solar System”.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is a model of comet 67P/Churymov-Gerasimenko based on data from Rosetta’s OSIRIS camera system, surrounded by backlit photographs of the comet and mission highlights. Additionally to the historical and technical background on comets as important building blocks of the Solar System, the Rosetta mission and its scientific achievements to date, the exhibition includes film-clips highlighting the personal stories of the men and women that made Rosetta a reality and the deep emotions evoked by involvement in the mission.

### 1/5 — Verschenktes Potential

*2018-10-13, version 1.22*

Wirklich toll die Ausstellung virtuell besuchen zu können. (Habe sie in Berlin, Darmstadt und Wien gesehen.)
Schöne Idee mit bestimmt spannenden und interessanten Daten. Leider ist die App auf dem iPhone komplett unbrauchbar und auch auf dem iPad kein Spaß. Ein Doppelklick auf eine Schautafel und man könnte deren Inhalt wie eine Website betrachten und vergrößern, dass wäre ein Traum.
Bitte setzt euch nochmal daran und macht diese vielversprechende App benutzbar. Merci

### 1/5 — Pseudo-App

*2018-06-24, version 1.22*

Einfach nur anscheinend gut.
Die Schautafeln sind so wenig zu vergrößern, dass man z.B. historische Drucke nicht wirklich sieht!
Die Steuerung ist bestenfalls verbesserungsbedürftig!
Alles in allem nur eine schlecht gemachte pseudo-moderne Ausstellungs-Simulation.
