This program draws the Solar System's bodies in simulated 3-dimensionality.
|
|
You can view all the planets, their moons and a few spaceships in motion,
|
|
trace them, follow them, orbit them, and even control them.

OpenUniverse was formerly known as Solar System Simulator (Ssystem). It was
|
|
initially released in 1997 with the intent of creating a rotating display of
|
|
the Earth on a mainstream PC. Ssystem version 1.0 was only aware of the
|
|
planets. Version 1.2 added moons; and 1.6, more means of movement and
|
|
better textures.
|
|
|
|
The program has been renamed OpenUniverse 1.0 to underline the concept
|
|
behind its further development: openness for the whole Universe, not just
|
|
the solar system -- open for anyone to use, extend, and change.
