Inspect the hardware

Move from whole-spacecraft views to cameras aimed at individual components. Available views vary by model; some spacecraft include interior views.

Try model actions

Models with articulated parts offer named actions. Whole-spacecraft spin, moving components and presentation-only tumble are different controls. Slow authored motions may offer a labelled accelerated demonstration.

Real and imagined

The Library includes flown hardware and original fictional designs. Source and representation notes explain the distinction and the limits of each model, including illustrative adjustments.
