Solar Explorer 3D

Embark on an unprecedented immersive journey through the cosmos! Solar Explorer presents a stunning 3D simulation of the Solar System based on real astronomical data, allowing you to experience the grandeur and mystery of the universe right in your hands.

Key Features

• Realistic Simulation – Accurately models the orbital and rotational motion of Solar System bodies and spacecraft in a true 3D environment. • Close-Up View – Explore surface details, rotation, and the orbits of moons within planetary systems, including detailed 3D models of spacecraft. • Landing View - Touch down at designated spots on different celestial bodies and look up at a realistic starry sky and the Milky Way. • Time Acceleration – Speed up time to intuitively observe the motion of Solar System objects and spacecraft. • Mission Replay – Selected mission and event replay feature, allowing you to review panoramic trajectories of major space missions and close-ups of key events. • Surface Maps – Zoom in to the surface in close view and watch surface features emerge across the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies.

Professional-Grade Experience

• Real-time orbital positions of planets, moons, and spacecraft are precisely computed using celestial mechanics, with extensive real-time data displayed in the information panel. • In celestial close-up view, observe high-resolution surface textures, realistic rotation, and the trajectories of major moons. • Spacecraft close-up view features high-quality 3D models, including all five probes that have traveled beyond Neptune’s orbit, with real-time speed and distance-from-Earth data. • Observe every successful soft-landing probe in history on the Moon, Mars, and Venus, along with detailed surface feature data. • In Landing View, the system accurately simulates the local sky and celestial motion based on celestial mechanics and spatial geometry, including phenomena such as lunar tidal locking and Venus’s retrograde rotation. • Beautifully rendered planetary rings and solar halos, precisely simulated asteroid belt and Kuiper belt — even shadows and transit phenomena are faithfully recreated, capturing the wonder of space.

Intuitive Controls

• Tap any celestial body or label to enter close-up view, with a catalog available to browse all celestial bodies and spacecraft. • Use one-finger rotation and two-finger zoom to adjust viewing angle and range. • In close-up view, a locator allows easy selection of target locations; on Earth, your current location can be used directly. • In orbit view, close-up view, and landing view, multiple time-acceleration levels are available to observe rotation and revolution.
