NASA’s Space Shuttle program may be over, but now anyone can take experience their flight to outer space…virtually.
The Orbiter Visualization Project is a free space shuttle simulator that allows users to fly space missions in various spacecraft from launchpad to landing.
If getting on board a virtual space shuttle isn’t enough, advanced users can also design and test their own spacecraft creations.
The Orbiter Visualization Project is a free download of around 140 megabytes from http://sourceforge.net/projects/orbitervis/
