| These are screenshots from Faster Light's upcoming space simulator, EXOFLIGHT. The application is still in development, so these screens will not neccessarily reflect the final product. |
| This is the groundtrack view, which shows the positions of satellites with respect to the surface of the Earth (or whatever planet/moon you happen to be orbiting). |
| EXOFLIGHT has a 3D trajectory viewer that lets you rotate & zoom in on bodies, and also displays their orbits. You can import satellite data from TLEs downloaded over the internet. |
| A lonely ascent stage crosses the terminator of the moon. Note the dynamically lit terrain; you can even see shadows inside the craters. EXOFLIGHT's graphics engine scales from millimeters to truly astronomical distances. |
| Inspect any event in paused mode or super slow-motion, like this Titan 2 stage separation. |
| Launch a V-2 from Mars?! Why not? The solar system is yours to explore with a variety of vehicles. EXOFLIGHT's open architecture lets you expand the program by adding new vehicles, modules, and sequencer scripts using simple text files. |
| Recreate famous moments in space history -- here the Eagle is about to dock with Columbia during the Apollo 11 mission. |

| Never be lost in space again! EXOFLIGHT features many displays showing position, velocity, orbital parameters, and navigational data. |
| The sequencer is your "autopilot" -- it runs programs for launch, reentry, landing, interception, and various orbital maneuvers. Pictured is the sequencer running a shuttle ascent program. Each vehicle has its own specialized "software" that controls the spacecraft, including abort sequences. |
| The vehicles in EXOFLIGHT are modular, and each module has its own control panel. Here you see the four control panels for the four modules of the space shuttle. |
| Gemini 6 makes a fiery reentry into the Atlantic Ocean. |
