Download Links
These download links include the OpenSpace application and all necessary data for the default scene. If another scene is loaded, the required datasets will download on startup. See below for the light-weight build that does not come with any data.
For all downloads, see below for installation instructions.
Windows users will also need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019. The download is available for 32-bit and 64-bit.
Optional Light-Weight Download
Use this download link if you are upgrading an existing installation of OpenSpace and already have a working sync folder that you do not want to replace. The application behind this link is identical to the download above with the exception of the sync folder.
Optional Planetary Datasets
Mars Download: Extra downloads of high resolution HiRISE patches (images and terrain model) on Mars.
Mercury Download: Extra downloads of terrain patches created by the MESSENGER mission.
Moon Download: Extra downloads of terrain patches for the Apollo missions to the Moon.
Installation
Windows
We recommended the latest Windows operating system (Windows 10).
After downloading the .zip file, Windows users should unzip the file and choose where you would like to install. You will also need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019. The download is available for 32-bit and 64-bit.
Windows 10 users who experience the error “VCRUNTIME140_1.dll was not found” will also need to download and install this file.
Mac
We recommended the latest Mac operating system (Mojave 10.14).
After downloading the .cfg file, Macintosh users should open the file and run the installer. An OpenSpace folder will be installed in your applications folder. This folder contains everything you need to get started.
Mac users who experience errors may need to change the permissions of the OpenSpace folder so all users can Read & Write the enclosed folders’ content.
Additional datasets
Optional planetary datasets (see above) can be downloaded separately. These show high-resolution images and digital terrain patches on the surface of Mars, Mercury, and Moon. The zip files can be extracted at any location, though an SSD is recommended for a smoother experience.
While it is possible to change the location in which these are stored (by editing the OpenSpace/data/assets/customization/globebrowsing.asset file), a good location is a sister directory to the OpenSpace folder named OpenSpaceData (for example, if you installed OpenSpace in C:OpenSpace0.15.0, the folder for the optional planetary datasets would be C:OpenSpaceDataMars, C:OpenSpaceDataMercury, etc.) This should enable the additional datasets to be loaded into the Layers list. If you are editing the globebrowsing.asset manually, please note not to use in the paths and only use / as otherwise error messages will be generated at startup.
Instructions
There are two ways to open OpenSpace: By opening the OpenSpace application (OpenSpace.exe) in the bin folder, or opening the OpenSpace Launcher. See Scenes below for instructions on how to open different visualizations.
Visit Resources for a basic user guide, and see our YouTube for tutorial videos that explain the usage of OpenSpace in greater detail.
Scenes
This version of OpenSpace comes with 17 prepackaged scenes, with an additional variant of the default called Default_full with more optional content.
If you open OpenSpace from the OpenSpace Launcher, you will be able to select your scene from a dropdown menu.
If you open OpenSpace from the .exe file, you will need to edit the openspace.cfg file, which is found in the base directory. In this file, the Asset parameter points to a .scene file in the data/asset folder that is executed and defaults to default, which means that data/asset/default.scene is loaded. This can be changed to, for example, newhorizons or rosetta, before starting OpenSpace. The scene file describes all the assets that are loaded for that particular scene.
Default
This scene is enabled on default and provides the ability to look at detailed terrain models of the Earth, Moon, Mars, other planets, and the Digital Universe extrasolar catalog. The view defaults on Earth at the current time with the ESRI VIIRS Combo enabled. This uses the Suomi VIIRS daily images when viewing the whole Earth, but switches to high-detail imagery from ESRI when zooming in. Additional Overlays are also available for the Earth, Moon, and Mars.
Solar Lander Mac Os X
The currently displayed terrain can be changed by selecting Scene in the GUI and navigating to the selected object -> Renderable -> Layers -> ColorLayers, or selecting the menu structure from the top of the window of the currently selected item. A layer can be enabled by opening the tree view of the object and selecting the Enabled checkbox or by ticking the checkbox next to the layer. If a layer is enabled, its name is shown in green.
New Horizons
This scene shows the acquisition of NASA New Horizons’ images of the Plutonian system in July 2015. The scene starts at around 10:00 on July 14th, around 10 minutes before a new image campaign starts. By selecting Pluto as the Origin and moving time faster, you can see the imprint of the instrument’s field-of-view on the planetary surface and see the images being projected. A timer on the top left of the screen shows when the next image is being taken.

Osiris-Rex
This scene demonstrates the entire lifetime of the NASA OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on its way to the asteroid Bennu and its subsequent journey back to Earth. The scene starts at Earth around the time of the spacecraft’s launch and has information throughout the entire mission until its landing back on Earth in Utah. The models of OSIRIS-REx and Bennu are available, as well as a preliminary instrument timing, which uses the same image projection technique as employed in New Horizons and Rosetta.

In Depth
Europa is thought to contain a global ocean of salty liquid water beneath its frozen crust, and if life exists in that ocean, signs of its existence, called biosignatures, could potentially find their way to the surface, where a spacecraft could sample and study them.
In order to investigate whether signs of life can be detected in Europa's surface material, a spacecraft would land on Europa and collect samples from about 4 inches (10 centimeters) beneath the surface. This is a depth at which the complex chemistry of materials from the ocean below would be protected from the damaging radiation that exists in space around Jupiter.
The samples would be analyzed by a miniature laboratory within the robotic lander, similar to the way samples on Mars have been studied by landers and rovers on the Red Planet. In addition to its onboard chemical analysis lab, a Europa Lander mission might also carry a microscope and a camera, along with a seismometer to detect geologic activity such as eruptions or the shifting of Europa's ice crust.
