Title: STS-135 Launch Tracking Project for iOS Devices
Post by: s219 on 07/06/2011 06:31 pm
Folks, I wanted to let you know about a tracking project we're trying to pull off for the STS-135 launch.  Anybody who will be within viewing range of the launch with an iOS device is encouraged to use our Theodolite apps to snap a few geo-stamped photos of Atlantis during ascent.  We are hoping to take the geo-data embedded in all the photos and assemble it into a crowdsourced database to model the launch trajectory.  If you're interested, please check out the project here:

Any questions, let me know.  The more participants we have, the better this will work.  Thanks!
