Is there an option to increase the font size? The text is unreadably small on my 28" 4k display.

Now somebody gotta do it as a mod for KSP, it would be sick to have this level of detail and launch missions through the solar system.

Yes, I know Real Solar System is a thing, but still :D

Great project! Been using it for years together with VTS [1] to visualize real-time and propagated satellite positions and attitudes, and also star tracker and payload "beams".

Hidden well enough on the linked site, but easy to find in search; there are mobile versions which work well on tablets etc I just found out. That's this monday lost!

One thing I kind of always want to see when I find cool resources like this are "How are you funded?". Because if it's not clear then have to there's a high risk it's a rug-pull, virus or might one day be either. There's just too many secretive "Here's a super free perfect tool for you!" rug-pulls out there.

"We're funded by the goodness of a team of volunteers" is a great answer.

Newer versions for macOS can be downloaded from GitHub (despite the link name):

This website does not work with Oculus Quest browser, it goes to the "oh noes" page, i guess the meta browser has some issues with the bot detection algorithm.

Brave also exhibits this behavior, turning off shields fixes the issue.
