Space Explorer 1.0 Tutorial: Space Explorer Launch Pad Dialog

Tutorial Organization

The Space Explorer 1.0 tutorial is divided into two distinct sections. The first section covers the configuration interface. It explains in great detail the various dialogs that are needed when you set up or reconfigure a solar system.

The second section deals with the flight interface. You are going to need that one in order to understand what you see and what you can do after clicking on the buttons 'Explore Solar System' or 'Replay Recording'.

You may explore both sections of the tutorial by navigating the links on the left.
