- Starry Night [commercial - Win95/98/NT, Macintosh] A planetarium and solar-system simulator; lets you view the universe from anywhere in our planetary neighbourhood in the past, present, and future.
- ChView [Freeware - Win3.x/95] A three-dimensional aid to viewing some of the nearer stars of our galaxy, navigating the distances between them, and accessing basic stellar information.
- Solar Kingdom [commercial, demo available - Win95/98/NT] A solar system simulator and planetarium, with planetary encyclopaedia.
- Solar System Applet [online Java applet] This 3-d solar system applet can be rotated and zoomed with the mouse. Below it are links to other online gravity simulators and resources for building solar system simulations.
- GrandTour Accurate wireframe simulator for the Voyager and Giotto space missions, with animation capability. Developed at JPL for science/navigation, and filmed by the BBC/NOVA. Conveniently runs from any Windows/DOS. Freeware.
- Spacesimulator.net Provides tutorials on how to program a 3d engine for a space simulation.
- StarStrider software 3D planetarium [shareware - Win 98/ME/2K/XP] A 3D software planetarium. Photo realistic real-time 3D renderings of 2 million stars, galaxies, nebulae, and the Milky Way. Includes several educative tutorials.
- AstroFly [freeware - Win 98/ME/2000/XP] Three-dimensional models of the Milky Way neighborhood.
- Gravity Simulator [freeware - Win 9x/NT/2k/XP] Simulates orbits of planets and other celestial bodies.
- 3D Solar System Simulator A free Java application that shows an interactive 3D representation of the planets and satellites of the solar system.
- Universe Sandbox Interactive space simulator created by Dan Dixon. It includes the solar system, the nearest 1000 stars, the local group of galaxies and an unlimited number of fictional scenarios.
- MPL3D Solar System Interactive 3D space simulation of the close universe in real time.
- The Celestia Motherlode The addon repository for the 3-D space simulator Celestia. It includes tours, spacecraft, asteroids and fictional universes.
- AstroGrav A precision solar system simulator that calculates the gravitational interactions between all astronomical bodies, so that the motions of asteroids and comets are accurately simulated. Superb interactive 3D views, and a huge range of features. [Commercial, free demo, multilingual]
- Copernic Space Simulator A freeware program that allows the user to navigate through the solar system neighbourhood at different times in past or future and see the sky in a stereographic projection.
- Orbiter Space Flight Simulator ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. It is not a space shooter, and aims to be as realistic as possible.
