paraphrase of the Web page:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 formely 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.
