Exploring the Universe in Virtual Reality

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Goddard engineer Tom Grubb manipulates a 3D simulation that animated the speed and direction of four million stars in the local Milky Way neighborhood. Goddard astronomer Marc Kuchner and researcher Susan Higashio used the virtual reality program, PointCloudsVR, designed by primary software developer Matthew Brandt, to obtain a new perspective on the stars' motions. The simulation helped them classify star groupings.

Another application developed under Goddard and NASA research and development programs makes designing spacecraft, instruments and repair missions easier, allowing engineers to experience the space before they start to build it.
