La nouvelle version nous ouvre TOUT !

La nouvelle version 5.0.2 de l'ISS Explorer nous ouvre absolument TOUT, y compris le territoire de la Fédération de Russie, ce qui est une première sur cette application.

Est-ce une manière scientifique de rappeler à la Russie que nous sommes TOUS sur le même bateau ? Peut-être...

De plus, on gagne en qualité visuelle HD et en navigation intèrieure comme extèrieure avec cette nouvelle version, ce qui explique pleinement le passage de 200Mo à près de 900Mo au moment du téléchargement de l'application.

Un très grand merci pour cette application pleine d'enseignement !

Fantastic

Thank you for updating it with all the current modules.

Wow!

Don’t know how I missed this app... but this is exactly what I’ve been looking for ever since a mysterious new gold disc array showed up on the HDEV experiment a couple months ago. I couldn’t find a 3D model to give a clue as to where located... looks like it’s attached to Columbus ESA module between the camera and the Soyuz capsules (rear facing camera).

Thanks NASA et al 🖖 !!
