Audacia Astra, Mission Planning Without the Space Opera
An early-access simulator for planning multi-star interstellar missions with moving-star intercepts, relativistic flight profiles, pulsar navigation, and downloadable mission dossiers.
Field notes
Audacia Astra models a stellar neighborhood as a moving-target route problem rather than a static star map. Its stated workflow combines future-position intercept solving with relativistic flight profiles, kinetic-energy budgets, shielding erosion from interstellar gas, and pulsar checkpoints selected by geometry. The page offers 0.1.0 macOS and Windows binaries, printable PDF mission dossiers, and SHA-256 checksums for direct downloads. An optional faster-than-light mode is separated from the physical simulation and labeled as fiction.
