Apollo Archive

Apollo Archive is an app for space enthusiasts. It helps its users to browse through all images taken during the Apollo missions and enjoy them in high resolution. What makes this app special to me is the written consent I received from NASA to publish the app freely to the app store.

With this app, I wasn't exclusively the developer, however I did the UI/UX design myself. My goal was to gain first-hand experience with product development from ideation to production, and to become familiar with all aspects of a product's lifecycle.
