Resources currently sorted by: Popularity (Ascending) VRMars-Spirit - The Red Planet Mars 3D | | Description: | "VRMars-Spirit - The Red Planet Mars 3D" is a great virtual reality program on a DVD for scientists and hobbyists interested in astronomy, science, planetary missions, space exploration, solar system, universe, etc. It covers the years 2004-2007 of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Spirit Mission. Take a virtual tour of the planet and get 3D views of surroundings or soil samples...
Some features:
• Gives an impression of being on the surface of Mars.
• Visit many places on Mars with the aid of virtual reality.
• 6 quickly switchable resolutions of viewing Mars.
• Watch Martian landscapes from different angles.
• Zoom in or out for details or wide angle views.
• Play demo option to watch Mars as a movie as well.
• Easy to use image viewing, including 3d images of Mars.
• Locate yourself on satellite maps and use them to navigate
within the virtual reality related to the MER Spirit Mission.
Great astronomy software that gives the user the feel of being on the surface of Mars. In any panorama click hot spots, zoom smoothly into a specified point for details or zoom out for wider panoramic views. See many panoramas of the planet Mars from different angles, craters, mountains, rocks, microscopic images and other features of the Martian landscape in an easy way. Use satellite maps for faster navigation or localization and easly access 3D images of the Red Planet. If you wish, you can watch it as a movie as well, just play demo. "VRMars-Spirit - The Red Planet Mars 3D" is VRPresents-technology-based astronomical software released on DVD and a very useful presentation on the planet Mars, similar to a 3D game, containing not only visual virtual reality data, but also a comprehensive information on Mars. It could be used in schools and other education-related entities for teaching purposes. Because the application is really very interesting, it is recommended also for the wider public.
"VRMars-Spirit - The Red Planet Mars 3D" is not just a simple image collection, but an advanced virtual reality presentation. Thanks to our VRPresents technology, you can watch the surface of Mars in the way like you were there yourself. This means that you have a freedom to move in any available direction. During this virtual tour of Mars you can use maps and even a compass. If you wish to see something closer, just zoom in or switch to a higher resolution mode.

| OpenGalaxy | | Description: | OpenGalaxy is an interactive sky explorer showing 2,500,000 stars. Take a dive into the milkyway to stars up to magnitude 14 .
The stars catalogue is a 53 Mb download!

| GrandTour | | Description: | GRANDTOUR can simulate space as
seen from the Voyager and Giotto spacecraft. In addition, GRANDTOUR can
generate scenes from arbitrary points in space or the Earth, with the
spacecraft visible to the observer. The planet, moons, and rings of
interest (or comet, nucleus, and tail), stars, the sun, and the
spacecraft are all accurately drawn with wireframe representations.
Hidden line removal is done for the body surfaces. The motions of the
bodies themselves are highly accurate, with errors no greater than 500
kilometers. The user has considerable control over the time step, field of
view, etc., and many frames per second are typically generated.
The program was originally developed at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory by John D. Callahan to assist in the analysis of science and optical navigation
data. In addition, the program was filmed by the BBC as part of a NOVA
documentary on the Voyager Uranus encounter, and by the Four Point
Entertainment Company for a commercially available video on Halley''s
Comet. Program conveniently runs from any Windows/DOS.

 Partiview | | Description: | «Partiview (Particle View) is a program that visualizes and animates three dimensional particle data. Within Partiview, you have the ability to navigate through 3-D data, as if you're "flying." Partiview is not limited to particle data; it can display 2-D images as well as multiple 2-D polygons that can be built into 3-D surfaces. It cannot record flight paths, though it can play them.
You can learn more about Partiview and how to visualize your own data in the manual. In addition, visit the Digital Universe site to download the Milky Way Atlas and other data sets as they become available.» | | | Version: | n.a. | | Filesize: | 410.16 Kb | | Added on: | 01-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 571 | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| SkyServer Galaxy Explorer | | Description: | This tool enables an interactive, video game-like fly through of the 3D galaxy distribution in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This tool runs under Windows, requires DirectX8.0 or higher, and a graphics card supporting 3D. | | | Version: | 2 | | Filesize: | 1.81 MB | | Added on: | 14-June-2004 | | Downloads: | 693 | | Rating: | 3.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Lunar Globe, the Virtual Museum of Lunar Vehicles | | Description: | Lets you interactively survey the lunar sphere, lunar formations and other objects without an astronomical telescope. "Interactively" means you can select objects to survey, control position of a virtual point of view and field of vision. You may explore the interactive map of lunar craters, with help of a Lunar Globe's dynamical interface.
On the one hand, some historical data is collected here, which can be a reference information. On the other hand, Lunar GLobe gives the possibility to have a 3D look at some Terrestrial spacecrafts, launched towards the Moon and reached a successful soft landing. These spacecrafts have been standing on the lunar ground since the end of Lunar Race.
Such possibility is certainly much limited, and does not give a real picture of authentic validity - because it is founded solely on computer imitations - even on imitations of real lunar vehicles. | | | Version: | 1.107 | | Filesize: | 1.36 MB | | Added on: | 02-Sep-2003 | | Downloads: | 716 | | Category: | Windows / 3D Simulation | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
