To this day, astronomers of International Naval Station They carry all kinds of gadgets, smartphones and tablets. These technological devices help them feel comfortable and feel at home.
But with an iPad-like device to orbit the planet Earth at an International station, there is a long way to go. The NASA you are responsible for authorizing each gadget uploaded by astronomers there.
But the trend is expanding briefly, as NASA has been shipping Apple devices since 2012, when it shipped with two iPhone 4s and even an iPod.

Bringing the iPad into space is not the sole purpose of playing Angry birds Space. The Apple tablet, especially the latest generation models, has tremendous potential in terms of generating, using energy and carrying. And that's why it's the "standard" technology chosen by astronauts. And we say it's normal because the International Space Station is full of exciting technological advancements that make the iPad a joke.
Often, some companies contact NASA to offer iPhone and iPad software. This software is used on Apple devices on the International Space Station board for testing under certain conditions.
However, as we explained earlier, in order for the iPhone or iPad (and any other gadget) to be able to orbit the planet Earth in space, it must pass rigorous process and certification sometimes it takes two years.
It is an important process that NASA certifies as a valid and safe instrument to use on the International Space Station board.
For example, a few years ago, a astrologer Richard Garriott he wanted to take his iPod to space. To be approved, the device had to remove the internal battery, leave it on the planet Earth, and connect the device with the external battery to the global station. In the end, he chose to leave his iPod at home.
The main problem with bringing technology devices into space is closely linked to to avoid. Let us remember that the laws of space physics do not currently apply in the world, where we already see how many batteries of smartphones explode and catch fire with ease.
Be that as it may, today to see an astronaut with an iPhone or iPad high among the stars is a common sight.
In fact, in mid-August 2019, host Luca Parmitano gave a concert broadcast from the International Space Station mixing music from her IP while attendees enjoyed the group on the stage used below, in the world.

Stars use the iPhone, iPad, cameras, robots and all kinds of gadgets
Electronic devices such as the iPhone are commonly used for tasks such as tracking the International Space Station using its accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. Or they are also used to capture beautiful images of planet Earth.
The iPad, on the other hand, is a very important tool for many astronomers. They use the Apple tablet to write notes, browse the web for news of the planet Earth, use special programs to keep track of their scientific experiments and much more. At the end of the day it's much easier to use than a large laptop.

However, astronauts carry other types of devices such as cameras, smart watches and HoloLens true glass that are not popular from Microsoft.
The HoloLens case is particularly intriguing, because it allows NASA members of the planet Earth to see through the eyes (first-person perspective) of astronomers at the International Space Station. And this is really helpful, because it helps to solve problems in a relaxed, quick and efficient way.
And of course, dear readers, as the Apple iPad managed to move to the stars.
