The AG-3DA1 3D Camcorder is en route to the International Space Station on board the historic final mission of the NASA Space Shuttle – its 33rd flight and 135th Space Shuttle Program Mission.
Panasonic has provided NASA with AG-3DA1 3D Camcorders, BT-3DL2550 25.5” 3D LCD monitors and ruggedized Toughbook® laptop computers that have documented the training and preparation leading to the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station.
During the shuttle mission astronauts plan to use the lightweight 3DA1 to document the Space Station in 3D and document a number of scientific missions.
“Panasonic is delighted that the AG-3DA1 3D Camcorder is playing a vital role in documenting this momentous NASA mission,” said John Baisley, Executive Vice President, Panasonic Solutions Company. “Human spaceflight is about the discovery of new things and places. The amazing 3D images that the 3DA1 produces may allow a new and unique view of the exploration of space for many applications.”
John also confirmed the exciting news that Panasonic will be sharing the compelling 3D footage from the Space Station with consumer and professional audiences worldwide. This will enable us to showcase “the truly immersive experience that 3D can deliver.”
So watch this space!
