Eyes on the Solar System is JPLs cool new tool for we 'armchair explorers' to use and follow spacecraft as they explore space.
Check it out here. As Doug said: ...go find the NEAR mission and watch it's orbital phase with Eros.... see the Pioneer 11 flyby of Jupiter, and go 'OMFG' at the Ulysses trajectory. There's a million things we're still trying to put into it - chances are any suggestions someone might have, we've already got it on a very very unfunded list of 'love to put in...' - but make suggestions So go for it. Try it out and if you have some cool ideas, leave a message here. |

Bingo. "Is it somehow a Java wrapper for native code (Unity in non-plugin form?) that is platform-specific?" is exactly right.
The team uses Unity to develop (so we can continue to offer the legacy browser plugin version) but as yet, there is no Linux support within Unity. Linux support is allegedly appearing in Unity 4 - at which point we will try and support it. |
