WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Web site has received a multimedia award from Adobe Systems Inc. of San Jose, Calif.
The computer technology company honored NASA's interactive International Space Station Reference Guide with a 2007 Max Award.
"The NASA Web team continually is finding new and innovative ways of making NASA more accessible to the world," said Ron Ticker, NASA's manager for space station development and the project's sponsor. "The Interactive ISS Reference Guide and its recognition is another testament to the team's success in that endeavor."
The guide, using video and interactive elements, explains the basic operations and physical dimensions of the International Space Station. Astronaut Mike Fincke, who spent six months aboard the station, guides users through the multimedia guide, explaining how the crew works and lives in space, and how the station operates.
The guide also includes 360-degree views of the inside of several space station modules and is to be updated regularly as new elements are added to the space station.
