 Celestia | | Description: | Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. All travel in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across. A 'point-and-goto' interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.
This is the Windows version. Add-ons, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Linux versions are also available. | | | Version: | 1.3.2 | | Filesize: | 10.95 MB | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 3632 | | Rating: | 8.9 (25 Votes) | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (9) | |
 Planet Engine | | Description: | Planet Engine is a 3D real-time planet renderer. It allows you to fly over the surface of planets and also to see them from space.
You can explore real planets - like Mars and Earth - or use imaginary data.
You'd better have a good graphical accelerator with OpenGL support. | | | Version: | 0.705 | | Filesize: | 7.52 MB | | Added on: | 07-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 3604 | | Rating: | 6.5 (6 Votes) | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| AstroFly | | Description: | The main purpose is to present the three-dimensional models of our neighborhood in our own Milky Way Galaxy on a personal computer. The 3D models are based on the remarkable Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues, which are the products of the European Space Agency's Hipparcos Space Astrometry Mission.
Features include: you can fly anywhere in space; each star is depicted with its "real" color; you can filter stars by many parameters; simplified Wireframe of our Milky Way Galaxy is available; you can check a star in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram; finding a famous star by its names is available; you can study constellations.»
The present version of AstroFly consists of two packages:
. The first package (mandatory - click the title above) - AstroFly 3.0 Basic Package (6.9 MB) - installs AstroFly' executables and the star database derived from the Hipparcos Catalogue.
. The second package (optional) - AstroFly 3.0 Plus Package (19.6 MB) - installs only
the star database derived from the Tycho Catalogue.

| StarStrider | | Description: | A photorealistic real-time 3D planetarium and 'virtual star ship'
StarStrider is a fully three-dimensional planetarium and 'software star ship'.
You can visit not only the planets and moons of our solar system, but also hundreds of thousands of other stars. And you can view spectacular galaxies, cluster, nebulae!
Relativistic space-time effects such asaberration and Doppler shift are optional!
Requires a 3D-card. Anaglyph 3D-glasses (for true '3D stereo') and joystick are optional.
New in v2.8: Add your own planets & satellites, on-screen help, Kuiper belt objects, and much more! | | | Version: | 2.8 | | Filesize: | 13.16 MB | | Added on: | 19-Dec-2005 | | Downloads: | 2295 | | Rating: | 7.8 (2 Votes) | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (2) | |
| Orbiter | | Description: | «ORBITER is a realistic space simulation using proper physics for the modelling of planetary motion, gravitational fields, free space and atmospheric flight etc. As such, it is more challenging to master than an arcade game - you should at least have some basic idea about mechanics and planetary motion to get the most from it.
You can land your ship at a space port on a planet surface, or dock to an orbital station; High resolution planetary maps provide some nice visual effects; Configurable environment. Users can add planets, space ships and space stations to the existing universe, or design a completely new solar system from scratch.»
The two minimum installation files will include the «Base» and «Textures» packages. Additional Earth, Moon, Mars etc... texture files and patches are also available. | | | Version: | 050126 | | Filesize: | 5.82 MB | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 1951 | | Rating: | 8.9 (41 Votes) | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (2) | |
| 3D Solar System | | Description: | A rolling 3D solar system with all the planets and some big moons orbit. If you have a fast computer - set 'True Worlds'-option 'On', and you will not be disappointed. Supports full screen resolution 800x600 up to 1600x1200. | | | Version: | 3.8 | | Filesize: | 21.62 MB | | Added on: | 04-July-2004 | | Downloads: | 1944 | | Rating: | 4.7 (3 Votes) | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (3) | |
| iS3 (Windows) | | Description: | The iS3 application talks to NASA's web servers over the internet and uses their 'NASA Solar System Simulator' to return an image of any planet or moon as seen from any other planet (or some man made objects) at any given time along with some other options such as constellation lines and planet orbits.
To use it, just open up iS3 and choose the object you wish to view and where you want to view it from. Select a date, time, and image options and click "Go". An image according to your specifications will be returned just a few seconds later. To view another image, click "Back" located in the lower left hand corner of the window. | | | Version: | 1.0.1 | | Filesize: | 872.76 Kb | | Added on: | 17-June-2004 | | Downloads: | 1891 | | Rating: | 6.5 (2 Votes) | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| Mars Explorer, Mars3D, Venus3D & Earth 3D | | Description: | Mars Explorer allows you to fly at thousands of km/h or drive at 50km/h over an accurately rendered Martian landscape covering an area of 1000kmx1000km. The surface is drawn to scale using altimetry data from NASA's MGS satellite. The program is available in two versions: with the Labyrinthus Noctis map (LN) & with the Melas Chasma map (MC)
Mars3D, another program by the same author, renders the whole surface of Mars in three dimensions using data collected by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor satellite. The data gives a maximum horizontal spatial resolution of 13 Km. The vertical accuracy is to within 5 m. Real time visualization of the red planet is allowed. The user has full control of the colours and amount of detail used to draw the surface. Zoom in an out features are implemented. As of the release of version 3, Mars3D is now split in several files (program, datasets and textures). Visit the homepage for details.
Venus3D does the same, using data from Magellan satellite, with a detail of 20 Km, for Venus.
Earth 3D is also available. The name is self explanatory.
They will run better on a fast machine loaded with lots of memory and a graphical accelerator. Highly entertaining. | | | Version: | various | | Filesize: | 21.93 MB | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 1421 | | Rating: | 8.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
