Description of Space Shuttle Mission 2007:
So what exactly does Space Shuttle Mission 2007 have to offer? No, Space Shuttle Mission 2007 (aka SSM2007 ) is NOT a "space simulator", so you cannot fly to the Moon or visit Mars in futuristic space-ships. This is a Space Shuttle Simulator - from pre-launch, through the entire mission and down to, and including the landing phase. When we have started this project we decided that the scope of this simulator should be to offer a Space Shuttle experience as close as possible to the real thing, while keeping in mind the limitations imposed by the mainstream PC hardware and the target audience (you). In plain English, we wanted this simulator to be able to run well on a wide range of hardware configurations and appeal to all ages and educational backgrounds you do not really need a hot-rod PC or to be a "rocket scientist" to enjoy it! This means that for now, we had to leave out certain realities like the possibility of failure and emergency operations that the real crew trains for, but fortunately it seldom has to apply in real life. Also some of the operations are simplified and automated (like the robotic arm of the ISS). We also left out certain activities such as various scientific experiments and tasks which are performed by specialized crew members. Since its maiden launch in 1981, The Space Shuttle has seen may improvements to a degree that today some of the systems are dramatically different (and improved) from the original ones. Some of these modifications are also reflected by the technology used in the cockpit. We decided that we will not go all the way and simulate all the Space Shuttle "variants". Basically what you get now is the modern MFD-based flight deck of today's Space Shuttles and not the old-style mechanical gauges. We thought that for the sake of simplicity and user-friendliness, we should make the simulator as enjoyable, accessible and non-intimidating as possible.
