According to foreign media reports, SpaceVR will use SpaceX "Falcon 9" rockets to send satellites equipped with virtual reality cameras to the International Space Station.
At present, this small startup has already established cooperation with NanoRacks. It is understood that NanoRacks is mainly to provide commercial hardware products and services for the National Laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS). According to the agreement, NanoRacks will send SpaceVR's self-developed Overview 1 satellites to low Earth orbit. At that time, Overview 1 will take SpaceX's Dragon capsule to the International Space Station. This plan is expected to be completed early next summer.
SpaceVR's initial appearance was in 2015 when crowdfunding was conducted through a website called Kickstarter. Initially, the company plans to ship a 12-camera device to the International Space Station. These cameras can shoot 3D and 360 degree continuous photos. But initially the $500,000 crowdfunding target of SpaceVR was not reached, and it was announced a month later. Fortunately, SpaceVR re-adjusted the crowdfunding goal, lowered it to $100,000, and completed the goal.
In fact, on April 29 this year, SpaceVR has announced its own space program. Initially, SpaceVR plans to install a VR camera on the International Space Station. The data captured by the camera will be sent to a set of memory cards. These video clips will then be collected, processed and packaged into high-resolution immersive video. And now the plan has finally made substantial progress.
In April this year, SpaceVR received a $1.25 million investment from the Chinese investment company Shanda Group. After that, SpaceVR said that they will use the funds to embed two virtual reality cameras in a single orbit around the Earth. Moving small cube satellites. In this regard, SpaceVR called it "the world's first virtual reality camera satellite."
“We already have a radio transmission system and we have a strategy to control the stability of the system. We can also maintain its stability through reaction wheels and gyroscopes. Not only that, we can also monitor the satellites at any time via flight software. What did you do when and where.†Ryan Holmes, CEO of SpaceVR said.
Once the satellite is launched into the International Space Station, SpaceVR can fully control it. Until then, the cameras on the satellite will take 360-degree panoramic photos. However, the ultimate goal of SpaceVR is to be able to achieve live video, bring the virtual reality space experience to the public, so that everyone can feel the endless beauty from the space.
In the future, SpaceVR plans to sell these serial photographs taken by satellites to consumers, so that those space enthusiasts who hope to acquire "space immersion" can realize the real universe through photos. It now appears that SpaceVR's fulfillment of this promise is just around the corner.
