NASA today launched an update to the Spacewalk Game that enables players to
virtually experience astronauts' adventures on the International Space
Station from their computers.
This latest version gives players an unlimited supply of oxygen so that they
can explore and learn more about how the station is assembled, take a
spacewalk to bring station communications back online by powering an
auxiliary antenna, or help tiny satellites or the Synchronized Position
Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) learn to fly in
formation so that they can someday remotely help astronauts handle tasks.
Players also can earn "badges" for completing missions and exploring the
station. The updated game includes significant upgrades that load the game
faster and make the graphics even more realistic.
More than 114,000 players have experienced the thrill of 3-D simulations of
actual work astronauts performed during several NASA missions to provide
power to the station and keep it operating at full capacity. The Station
Spacewalk Game also incorporates graphics from real NASA missions and 3-D
models. In addition to the Station Spacewalk Game, NASA provides interactive
applications and other online educational tools as part of the agency's
broader educational outreach effort to engage and inspire students in
science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Lot's of fun working on this one, specially on the SPHERES mini game.
The level of detail is, as usual was kept on the high, however still no interiors.
I am very dissatisfied by the sheer lack of interior blueprints, to base anything off of.
