Field notes
The globe’s tour describes a hands-on workflow: choose which objects appear, select a dot to see what it is, and draw its orbit. Its time bar can pause, accelerate, or return the display to now, with keyboard shortcuts listed for common actions. Beyond the tracker, launch schedules are organized by site, company, and rocket, while the guides address practical viewing and identification questions.
