SSTL carried out a public contest for apps to be run on the phone and the winners included apps for magnetic field measurements, satellite telemetry display, and earth imaging<\/a>,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the fourth app is Scream in Space! <\/a><\/p>\n

Testing the theory ‘in space no-one can hear you scream, made popular in the 1979 film ‘Alien’, the app will allow the public to upload videos of themselves screaming in a creative way to an allocated website.\u00a0 The most popular videos will be played on the phone while in orbit and the scream recorded using the smartphone’s microphone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
