The "End of MIR"

Published: 17 March 2001 y., Saturday
ParallelGraphics will be following the final days of the Russian MIR space station, one of the most famous space projects ever, as it ends 15 years of circling the earth on March 20th. The "End of MIR" is the only 3D project on the Web that will show the position and path of the famous space station in real-time. It will allow worldwide audience track and observe this historic moment in space travel. Using the latest scientific data from NASA, ParallelGraphics has developed the End of MIR project which will allow users visualize in real- time 3D the final days and hours of this extraordinary spacecraft as it reaches the end of its working life. "The re-entry of MIR is one of the most spectacular events any of us will get to see in our lifetime. This is as close to mission control as one can get. Through the use of ParallelGraphics Web3D technologies, viewers will now be able to experience this monumental event using our Cortona viewer," said Connell Gallagher, President of ParallelGraphics. From March 15, the world will be able to follow MIR's final journey at http://www.parallelgraphics.com/mir
