About Solar System Explorer 3D

Soar into space and explore dozens of planets, moons and asteroids on an exciting journey through our solar system. High definition graphics and atmospheric music will make you feel like you are there!

Features:
★ HD graphics and awesome music and sound effects
★ Easy to use and intuitive controls
★ Detailed information about the places you visit
★ Images based on real photos taken by telescopes or NASA spacecraft
★ Ideal educational introduction for kids
★ An atmospheric experience in the vacuum of space!

Easy to use controls make navigation a breeze. A simple tap will send you soaring into the outer reaches of deep space. Another tap will return you safely home to Earth.

There’s lots to see and do. In addition to beautiful graphics, Solar System Explorer also includes a great deal of information about the planetary systems you’ll visit. Learning has never been so enjoyable!

With the new free-flight option, you can take direct control and fly the spaceship yourself and become the pilot. Accompanied by a rumbling engine, you’ll be swooping through the asteroid belt, diving through the gas giant Saturn’s rings and surfing the upper atmosphere of planets. It’s the next best thing to a space walk!

The 3D models in this app are based on photos taken by NASA spacecraft and ground based telescopes. Because some of the moons around the gas giants have only been visited once or twice, we may have partially complete images. Missing surface detail for these objects is estimated from what can be seen.

In this solar system simulator you can explore the brilliant blue-green Uranus, knocked onto its side by a massive collision. Visit the proto-planet Ceres which makes up one third of the mass of the asteroid belt. Marvel at Neptune's moon Triton which orbits in the opposite direction to Proteus. Take in the sights of the Jupiter's heavily scarred moon Callisto, its surface pockmarked by countless impact craters.

Places to visit in this solar system orrery:
The Sun, otherwise known as Sol
Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
Gas giant: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Moons: Luna, Deimos and Phobos, Callisto, Europa, Ganymede, Io, Mimas, Tethys, Enceladus, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Iapetus, Miranda, Umbriel, Ariel, Oberon, Titania, Triton, Proteus, Charon

To dam many commercials and loud music on the ads which older folks don't like the dumb games etc.

U70%
by U####:

The music sounds like Mass Effect but the ads are annoying

E70%
by E####:

Ads, ads and more ads Total waste of space. No pun intended.

A70%
by A####:

Plagued by intrusive adverts with almost every button press.

U70%
by U####:

This app is the best way to learn more about the solar system and the other things that are in the other solar system s around it.????

G70%
by G####:

STUPID GAME!!!you can't get to the place you want to be!!!

X70%
by X####:

It's a nice and informative app, especially when someone is interested in the universe from a scientific point of view

A70%
by A####:

Ads in every corner of the app. Makes it unusable for educational purposes.

I70%
by I####:

I didnt find it interesting at all

N70%
by N####:

good but if you can interact with the planets itd be 5 stare and few les adds plz

U70%
by U####:

Insane amount of ads. Super annoying. Uninstalled.

U70%
by U####:

It good and can we know some knowledge

U70%
by U####:

I've always had a fascination with space exploration. This app takes me there and let's me get a good look around. I've only had it installed for about 15 minutes, but I can tell already that it's going to be one of my all - time favorites.

I70%
by I####:

It is not that interesting . Too much adds. We are only limited to a small part of the massive universe. It is a boring app after visiting every planet, asteroid or satellite. It should hold more interesting facts 'bout entire universe which would make it far more attractive.

P70%
by P####:

Looked interesting until I was presented with an ad that showed a machine gun sniper shooting down people from a rooftop. Horrible. I don't mind an occasional ad, but this was horrific. Certainly not an appropriate ad for this application. Uninstalling.????

U70%
by U####:

It's truly a wonderful learning tool, bought back alot of lessons I learned in school. Felt like I took a drive and the stars became streetlights on a road into our vast exploration of space and imagination. Thanks for the ride.

U70%
by U####:

Menus could be better. Can't quite move around easily. Not happy that app wanted access to everything. I don't mind advertising but this is ridiculous. .

G70%
by G####:

Appreciate the effort but not as good as expected. Take the case of pluto, it competely denies the laws of conservation on angular momentum, actually pluto's moon is of comparable size to that of pluto, so pluto shouldn't be stationary about the axis of revolution on moon.

U70%
by U####:

Seriously? Santa? I can't see anything because he is in the way. Every time I click a planet it has a wiki thing that won't come off so I can't see the planet. Stupid ads are there.

U70%
by U####:

I totally understand why there should be ads but if they pop up every minute you know the app has to go. Uninstalling.

U70%
by U####:

It's a good start, but there are so many GUI difficulties and problems we have to face

L70%
by L####:

Too many intrusive adds. Not worth the aggravation of these full screen annoyances

H70%
by H####:

Just what I've been waiting for. A solar system simulation that recreates the traveling time from planet to planet to show just how vast our solar system is. The controls puts the user in the driver's seat to travel fast or cruise leisurely. The information presents itself subtly, without intruding the view. Perfect.

U70%
by U####:

When I wanted to do anything a ad pops up

Z70%
by Z####:

App looked interesting, and I'd have been happy to donate and go pro if that were an option. Way too.many ads. No way to opt out, pay out or escape the ads, other than uninstall. Thanks, but no thanks.

V70%
by V####:

Nice app for kids to get started to know the solar system. There can be more information about each planet. Like temperatures, days it takes to complete it's orbit, distance from sun, distance from Earth etc.

H70%
by H####:

It's best app ever we can also see all planets digram and some information by Wikipedia and we can also take a flight to how to go.to planets

U70%
by U####:

Perfect for what I need, as someone with limited knowledge of our solar system this looks amazing, good graphics and easy to use

U70%
by U####:

I like the way it is connected to expedia so that we can learn more. The graphics are pretty good as well.

R70%
by R####:

Ace!! Could waste a life time playing with it, awesome graphics. Pity about the ads with it!!

N70%
by N####:

nearly the whole application of the solar system is on point, information on everything in our solar system, now don't read into the advertising game display it's a small 5sec. clip as for the app? gives you visual time laps in position planets & moons, precise positioning, if there's anything better than this then it will be flawless

N70%

Seriously? Santa? I can't see anything because he is in the way. Every time I click a planet it has a wiki thing that won't come off so I can't see the planet. Stupid ads are there.

R70%
by R####:

Nice images but I got fed up with full screen noisy adverts every minute

N70%
by N####:

Plz add more informations about solar system.. Also make it like the way to view other galaxies from outer space..

N70%
by N####:

Scarce information all pulled from Wikipedia and an absurd amount of hijacking advertisements, noisy videos, upsetting and frustrating, all the time. Really sad. The graphics are okay but it doesn't compensate at all.

F70%
by F####:

While looking at one thing it will just jump to another piece of junk Santa Claus orbiting planet Earth go f*** yourself a****** I'm offended and I'm uninstalling this loser program

N70%
