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
