 Panasonic 3D camcorder joins NASA Space Shuttle Mission : Opening up a new dimension for 3D, Panasonic’s 3D camcorder (Model : AG-3DA1) is headed to space to document the International Space Station on the final mission of the NASA Space Shuttle. This is the ultimate flight of the shuttle Atlantis, its 33rd flight, and the 135th mission of the Space Shuttle Program. Panasonic has provided NASA with some Panasonic 3D camcorders and 25.5” 3D LCD monitors and ruggedized Toughbook laptop computers that have documented the training and preparation leading up to the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station.

Final Space Shuttle Mission
During the Space shuttle mission, NASA astronauts plan to use the lightweight Panasonic 3D camcorder to document the International Space Station in 3D video. While at the International Space Station, the astronauts intend to conduct a number of scientific missions that they plan to capture with the Panasonic 3D camcorder. The Panasonic 3D camcorder can record for up to 180 minutes on dual 32GB SD memory cards in Panasonic's professional AVCHD PH movie mode, and offers professional interfaces including dual HD-SDI out, HDMI (3D compatible), two XLR connectors, built-in stereo microphone and twin-lens camera remotes.
