Description
The ISS explorer is an interactive tool for exploring the parts and pieces of the International Space Station (ISS). The application allows the user to view a 3D model of the ISS, rotate it, zoom into it, and select different parts and pieces.
When the application starts, you can see a view of the entire ISS with category labels. Tabs are available on the left hand side of the screen which allow you access to information, the hierarchy, settings and application information. From this point, you can zoom into the station, revealing more labels of visible parts. The station can also be rotated to view from different angles. If a part is selected, the part is isolated so that you can focus on the specific piece. The information tab shows information about the currently isolated part.
Inside the hierarchy tab, you can turn parts on or off, turn labels for parts on or off, turn parts transparent, or select a part to focus on. The parts are organized in a hierarchy to allow for systems to be described and displayed. This includes things such as truss, modules, and external platforms.
The Information tab shows information about the current isolated part, system, or the full ISS if the entire station is shown.
Recent changes: -Updated Internal and External models and textures -Android build supports latest Android API -Updated text and formatting in model info panel and tags -Improved lighting and post processing effects for internal station -Upgraded to latest version of Unity -Removed duplicated hatch from Node 2 -Patched Unity vulnerability

Hmm... Why is there only one vehicle to visit the iss? Only the Russian soyuz? What about the spacex dragon capsule?

Wonderful & informative for those of us with an interest in all things space & the ISS. Excellent detail on just about every part of the complex with plenty of info to go along. My only quibble was it would have been nice to show a detailed layout inside as well, but there is more than enough here to obsess over for a long time. Great app.

I love the app, and just reinstalled it on my phone after a long time of not using it. But I am now experiencing a crash on startup on my Galaxy S23+ One UI 6.1. I'd love to use the app again but at the moment that seems impossible. I am able to provide a complete log of the crash if that is needed by the devs.
