About Space Station Research Explorer
Explore the diverse ecosystem of experiments being researched on the International Space Station – both completed and ongoing. Investigate the results and benefits of many of the experiments and find out why performing research in a microgravity environment is so important. The Space Station Research Explorer provides current information on ISS experiments, facilities and research results through video, photos, interactive media, and in-depth descriptions.
The Experiments section provides access to the six main experiment categories and their subcategories. Experiments are depicted as dots within the category system and the stems connecting the dots to the system depict the length of time the experiment spent on orbit. Users can drill down to see specific experiments within the categories and subcategories or search for a specific experiment or subject using the search option. Experiment descriptions consist of links, images, and publications if available. The Experiments section can be further narrowed by selecting a specific expedition and sponsor by using the dials at the top right of the screen
The Facilities section provides an interior view of three of the station modules; Columbus, Kibo, and Destiny, and an exterior view of seven external facilities; ELC1-4, Columbus-EPF, JEM-EF and AMS. The module interiors can be navigated by dragging up and down to see different sides of the module and left and right to view any racks not shown on the screen. Tapping a rack gives a brief description of the rack and an experiment description if available. For the external facilities, the platform is shown and can be rotated and zoomed. Payloads on the external racks are labeled and the labels can be selected for more information.
The Benefits section provides information on Human Health, Economic Development, Innovative Technology, Earth Benefits and Global education. Selecting a section allows the benefits to be investigated further.
The Media section provides access to two tabs: Podcasts, and Videos. Podcasts contains links to NASA ScienceCasts and Videos contains links to Science related videos.
The last section contains links to other Space station research sites and NASA applications

It works! I've barely touched the surface of this because i was most interested in confirming that every section would open & was functional, & yes! As far i've determined NASA is ACTUALLY bothering to keep THIS app functional - for now at least!

To many advertisements and the in app purchases should be removed. Since it is a government entity that built the app they get funding regardless so all nasa apps should be free.

Biggest issue is menu font size. You can zoom in on certain select text, but reading the link on the UI is hard. Even wearing glasses! Otherwise it's a very nicely done app.

Oh, how they love to hide in their "darkroom,"using a black marker on the photos from the Mars and the Moon."Oh, did they get their hands slapped by Enterprise. Com.and a U.Az.Phoenix website that showed ,what the actual photos were, before being altered by NASA people. As an question pops up, "Are we alone or there occupied planets, out there. You see someone strange looking as they look at us,the alien thinks,"We came here to have a picnic. All these strange looking beings are running around us,"

Great and useful, but has major usability issues. The app: 1) works in landscape mode only 2) uses tiny text, unlegible even on the huge Nexus 6 screen 3) doesn't provide up to date data about the latest ISS expeditions.

Love your work, guys. I hope there is a donate button in the app, as just because Congress doesn't care about space exploration doesn't mean we don't either.
