Summary<br />

• <strong>Orbiter</strong> is an accessible tool for atmospheric, orbital and<br />

interplanetary space flight simulation.<br />

• Combining a (moderately) accurate physics engine with 3-D<br />

rendering, its main application is as an educational or<br />

recreational tool.<br />

• The programming interface (API) is a versatile way to extend<br />

the core <strong>Orbiter</strong> functionality. Features not natively supported<br />

by the core can be added by external plugins.<br />

• The API interface includes<br />

• state vector updates for celestial bodies<br />

• spacecraft implementations<br />

• instrumentation<br />

• Development of the core module is ongoing, and a growing<br />

set of 3rd party contributions is available.
