With the release of Arianespace’s new mobile application, tablet and smartphone users around the globe can follow the company’s launch activities.
This application – called “Arianespace HD” – reportedly provides a wide range of features for its users, including the ability to follow live coverage of the company’s commercial missions, which are performed using a family of launch vehicles: the heavy-lift Ariane 5, medium Soyuz and lightweight Vega.
Additional features include, the company claims, extensive photo and video galleries, news coverage of company activities, a countdown to the next liftoff and information on Arianespace, its launch vehicle family and the Spaceport in French Guiana.
“Arianespace HD” is available at no cost to users of Apple iPhones and iPads, accessible through the iTunes online store. As a bonus, the application allows for customisation of mobile devices with special wallpaper backgrounds and ringtones – including a countdown to liftoff.
