Google never ceases to make the history of technology. Yesterday, at 10.40 am the spacecraft of the Cygnus Obrital of Sciences Corporation took off to bring his precious load into space to reach the International Space Station (ISS).
The spacecraft carries a prototype of intelligent robot that belongs to the project SPHERES. It is a 8-inch-diameter miniaturized satellite with a lot of functions, able to operate even inside the International Space Station.
NASA had already tested this technology, but this time there is collaboration with Google because the heart of the new mini-satellite will be a smartphone based on Google's Project Tango: an ultrapowered version of last generation's Android smartphone. Equipped with a special 3D sensor and different cameras, for now it will be used to build a three-dimensional map of the interior of the ISS.
