Do you have what it takes to be an astronaut? That is the question that presents a new online game released by the European Space Agency (ESA) and is also being used to assess how effective it is preparing a new test for the selection of new astronauts.
The game, published on the website of the Aerospace Centre of the Netherlands, was designed to assess the ability of candidates to work in 3D space where no further guidance. This is because, as described by the ESA, “in the universe, can become top down and left can become right, depending on the direction you’re floating.”
“Everyone knows the feeling of disorientation when visiting a new city, and work in space adds a whole new dimension, literally. spacewalks during this effect is intensified as darkness offers little space to the brains of astronauts used for orientation, “the agency wrote.
In the game, the user must take an object and schedule moves to make it fit with another. You should rotate, make progress, rise and fall in relation to the position of a virtual character in this 3D space.
“By playing this test online you will help the team to validate essentially to ensure that it works. For us, the more people participate, the better, “said Rüdiger Seine, head of training ESA astronauts.
The test is available for computers and it is compatible with most popular Internet browsers. According to its creators, complete it takes between 30 and 60 minutes.
