The workspace offers 3U, 6U and 12U spacecraft presets, with controls for orientation, density, gas species and gas–surface interaction. Its live-engine workflow is described as running in the browser on the visitor’s computer, with OBJ or STL imports capped at 2,500 triangles. The page also notes that demo outputs are precomputed and that atmospheric conditions must be supplied rather than taken from a live forecast.
