I hope it keeps supporting the V2 even when a V3 comes out.
#Contour shuttle software
Contour keeps developing the software end and it's becoming better and better. Since the original/V1, there hasn't been much development in the hardware department and I'm completely alright with that (other than fit and finish, I don't see a real necessity). I've become so attached to this thing that I installed the software on/moved settings to my laptop and brought the ShuttlePRO along for the last trip. You really become spoiled after using this gadget for a while. or shortcut keys that are all over the place in Lightroom). laptop on the road), I actually get a bit irritated having to find keys or having to lift my left hand from one side of the keyboard to the other (like hitting the keys for brush sizes or control + m for curves. It makes things fast, accessible, and much more enjoyable. I use this mostly with a mouse or a Wacom Cintiq (Intuos and the like will be similar) and I rarely use the keyboard. metal issue isn't a real noticeable one). Just a note that the V2 has three dimples on the metal dial while the original version has one only and it's plastic (it can be easily remedied by adding a couple of button like stickers on it and also, the plastic vs. In software like photoshop/lightroom, the wheel/dial works great for brush size adjustments but of course, the application is absolutely up to you using their very customizable software. This with the dial is perfect for video/time based software for scrubbing, which singleha ndedly makes this indispensable (gaming keypads might have mouse like wheels but lack this). The ShuttlePRO spring loaded wheel has 7 increments in each direction and works well (the throw might be too much though as it's a whole lot of turning to get to the 7th step either way). Some products like the Griffin Powermate Knob is at a huge disadvantage in this department (although it feels and looks more premium).
The large assortment of buttons is surely a must and the V2 has 15 (the V1/original is just two buttons short, the buttons at the sides of the wheel). Although the ShuttlePRO V2 has its shortcomings, I find it to still be the best product available at the moment.

Beyond Earth: A Chronicle of Deep Space Exploration, 1958-2016. It probably suffered structural failure due to plume heating as its main engine was firing, caused either by problems in the design of the probe or the solid rocket motor itself. 15 at 08:49 UT, its solid propellant apogee motor fired as the spacecraft was approaching perigee over the Indian Ocean and out of radio contact.Īn investigation determined the spacecraft had broken up during its burn. The spacecraft was successfully launched to a high apogee orbit with a period of five-and-a-half days.Ĭontrollers implemented at least 23 orbital maneuvers during the next 43 days and 25 orbits to position CONTOUR properly for its planned burn to heliocentric orbit on Aug. It was designed to fly by at least two cometary nuclei with the goal of compiling topographical and compositional maps, sending back imagery, and collecting data on the structure and composition of their comas.ĬONTOUR (COmet Nucleus TOUR) was supposed to carry out its primary mission from heliocentric orbit with encounters with Comet 2P/Encke (Nov.
