Software Features and Description

1. The HIAD game challenges players to successfully land a HIAD after launching from the International Space Station and arriving at a target ground point on Earth.

2. NASA calls the spacecraft technology HIAD - Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator.

3. A giant cone of inner tubes stacked together may someday help cargo, or even people, land on another planet or return to Earth.

4. Choose the right shape, materials and trajectory to use a HIAD to bring cargo back from space.

5. Learn the challenges NASA faces as it works to develop an inflatable spacecraft.

6. To successfully guide an inflatable spacecraft through the super heat of atmospheric re-entry requires the right stuff.

7. Try your hand at landing a HIAD and become a rocket scientist.

8. Advance through all stages at each of the four levels, collecting up to three stars for each successful landing.

9. If you inflate too early, your shape is incorrect or your material isn’t strong enough - you burn up.

10. And if you get all that right and miss the target the mission is a bust.

Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Fun and challenging

    By Krentz (Pcmac user)

    Fun game, and challenging to get 3 stars on everything!
  • Good, but lean on info

    By OxcartMC (Pcmac user)

    The HIAD app is good at teaching how the system is expected to operate, as well as the challenges expected in even a "routine" operation. The downside, though, is that the app doesn't offer even basic information about the actual system, a rarity for the app apps. No plan views, details on planned capabilities or mission profiles, not even an artist's rendering -- and I refuse to characterize the cartoon graphics as "rendering." (I am using iOS 5, so if you're using OS6, sorry.) Overall, though, I can easily give it four stars; it has a smooth learning curve and provides a quasi-realistic simulation of the system.

    I normally would rate this as a 5 star app but I recently upgraded my ipod to ios6 and now I can't even navigate the home screen. There are black spaces that should be filled in. Please fix this then it will be 5 star again!
  • Go HIAD!

    By crazy flying pig (Pcmac user)

    What a great way to learn about this new technology!
