Mission Simulator
Pick a galaxy, system, and body. Then launch.
We design and build mobile apps for iOS and Android. This remote is a small demo of that work: choose a destination on the phone, then launch to fly there in the 3D explorer, with the site's colours following the body you picked.

About the Mission Simulator
The Mission Simulator is a browser-based 3D demo built by A Few Good Coders. Choose one of 21destinations, from the Sun and the eight planets to Pluto and Charon, the Voyager 1 spacecraft in interstellar space, a black hole, a wormhole, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Orion Nebula, the TRAPPIST-1 system and five more exoplanets, on a phone-style console, then launch a wormhole transit that re-themes the whole site around it. Destination facts come from NASA, ESA and JPL data and are cited on each card. Exoplanet surfaces are artist's concepts, since no exoplanet has been imaged up close, and the wormhole itself is a theoretical object shown for illustration.
