321 LAUNCH

USA TODAY delivers a best-in-class AR hologram rocket launch experience on our 321 LAUNCH app.

Our space experts from Florida Today are your guides through this one-of-a-kind experience. During a live launch, watch an AR rocket liftoff from any flat surface, as an animated hologram shows you what the actual rocket is doing in real-time. Telemetry data generates a predictive flight-path allowing you to follow the speed, acceleration, and altitude of an active launch live in AR, simply by pointing your phone towards the sky. Tap to live video coverage of the launch and follow live commentary as you watch from anywhere in the world.

Also check out our launch simulation as space experts guide you through an interactive rocket assembly, readying the launch-pad, and blasting off towards the exosphere, before separation and re-entry. You control a launch mission in this interactive AR experience, and learn what it takes to launch a rocket from Kennedy Space Center.

Wonderful learning experience. Easy to use on any relatively flat surface. My husband sat on the couch and projected it on the cushion next to the one he was sitting on. Perfect for grammar school aged children to adults. The app checks the boxes for most of the ways in which people learn - listening, doing (interaction), and reading. Nice a/r application that doesn't require purchasing extra equipment!

Launch location keeps changing every time you calibrate the compass in the app. The live AR function doesn't seem to be accurate.

Launch area graphic was very small, difficult to see and swipe details . But informative and interactive.

Nerdtastic! I'm loving this return to the space race glory days when I was young and the future seemed much more hopeful than today.

Jer. O. Apr 14, 2018     

Absolutely in-fkn-credible!!!

Ann. S. Apr 15, 2018     

Downloaded this completely worthless app to watch the launch on 4/14, it didn't even try to connect. Don't waste your time with it. The app kept freezing and locking me out of my phone. It must have been overloaded by everyone trying to watch the live launch. It's a great idea but needs help.
