In mid – September, she started in space the Inspiration4 private three-day mission, with no professional astronaut on board the Space X’s Crew Dragon for the first time. The four-member crew was commanded by billionaire Jared Isaacman, who also funded the mission. And although he had professional photo equipment on board, he also boasted several shots of our planet, which he took with his iPhone.
This is what the Earth photographed with an iPhone looks like
As part of the Inspiration4 mission, the Crew Dragon rocket hovered at an altitude of 574 kilometers, which is even beyond the orbit of the International Space Station. The crew was able to enjoy the views that few people experience, and it was Jared Isaacman who took advantage of this situation and shared the following pictures taken with the iPhone 12 Pro on his Twitter.
Amazing that an iPhone can take a shot like this. I really love the nosecone in the picture. pic.twitter.com/sz1UVx3pUE

A video over Brazil from first day on orbit. Shot w/iPhone but hopefully we can get some of @inspiration4x Nikon shots out soon. Such a privilege to see our ???? from this perspective. We need to take far better care of our home planet and also reaching for the stars. pic.twitter.com/mAQw6eK8Ui

Cool video from ???? cupola w/ xenomorph. In hindsight, it wasn’t worth the trouble of repacking the alien and probably took away from the video… but the view is pretty incredible and my kids will like the ????

iPhone 12 Pro served not only aboard the spacecraft as a camera, but also as a medical device. As part of the mission, medical research was carried out, among other things, the ultrasonic device Butterfly IQ + paired with an apple phone was tested. In addition, an ECG was tested in space on a watch Apple Watch Series 6.
