#NASA MICROSOFT HOME USE PROGRAM UPGRADE#
NASA took advantage of Microsoft's advanced mixed reality headset to remotely assist ISS astronaut Megan McArthur with an upgrade of the CAL. Related: Here's Where NASA Is Sending Its Next Rover In microgravity, the CAL can manage this feat in a relatively small space. A similar setup would be difficult to achieve on the ground and to maintain for long periods of time. At one ten-billionth of a degree above absolute zero, it creates conditions in which atoms have almost no motion, making it ideal for studying quantum characteristics. About the same size as a mini-refrigerator, such as those found in a hotel room, an RV, or a dorm room, the device can produce clouds of atoms at extremely low temperatures. NASA's Cold Atom Lab (CAL) is an important piece of equipment for science experiments on the ISS. Augmented and virtual reality solutions have proved useful for some of the work that's done in space, since remote control and interaction are critical for maintaining the station and communicating with team members that are on the ground. NASA is making use of all sorts of technology, including Microsoft's HoloLens, to help advance science experiments taking place on the International Space Station (ISS).
