Atlantis will carry the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies, logistics and spare parts including two iPhone 4’s to the International Space Station. See my previous post: Apple iPhone Gone to Space , Where I posted about STS-135.

AstrO Gears Product showcase: Apple iPhone 4 AstrOceanOmy Store
Product Features Description
Yeah! The most amazing feature in iPhone 4 is the Gyroscope built-in. Which makes the iPhone 4 Astronomy edition.
I’m including iPhone 4 as one of my AstrO Gears product. Why! Just see below… I will include more features of this gear later on.
Last year Father-Son Team lunched iPhone 4 into Space with weather balloon. They have used an insulated craft, weather balloon, iPhone 4 and a HD video camera to enter the space and film down the whole process. iPhone 4 was used to locate the location of the craft. Check out the video>>>
The next surprise is that iPhone 4 this Month will be taken aboard the International Space Station via STS-135 to help conduct ground breaking experiments. Odyssey Space Research LLC, of Houston, TX, has developed an iOS application that will take advantage of the iPhones built-in mechanisms.
The experiments will perform onboard the US. National Laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS)
In an excerpt from their official press release, Odyssey states:
“The SpaceLab for iOS app will utilize the innovative features of iPhone 4, including the three-axis gyro, accelerometer, Retina display, cameras and A4 chip, for space-based research. The crew will conduct various experiments to collect data which could one day find use in practical applications, such as the recovery of navigation information for a spacecraft that might be “lost in space.”
Four experiments are planned, click on the image above to read more.
As stated by Odyssey Space Research: “When the experiments are completed, both iPhones will be returned to Earth. The first opportunity for return will be on a Russian Soyuz vehicle in the fall of 2011. Flight data from the experiments are expected to be collected, analyzed, and then shared via this app on the App Store. “
The launch target for STS-135 (Orbiter Atlantis) is set by July 8, 2011. 🙂
