Celestia
Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions.Celestia enthusiasts all over the world have built all kinds of extensions for Celestia, including textures, virtual solar sytems, spacecraft, educational tours and scripts. If you are 'into space' and have not heard of Celestia yet, then I can recommend to try it wholeheartedly.
Celestia AutoPilot
AutoPilot is a Windows program to create Lua (.celx) scripts to be run in Celestia. The scripts can be run from inside AutoPilot (no need to swicth to Celestia) or can be saved and run indepedently.As of this writing, the scripts that can be generated are limited to rotations around and flights over planets (or other Celestia objects).
You can
- approach planets
- rotate around planets, with different views
- make curves
- fly below the clouds
If available time allows it, other types of scripts will be added in later versions.
Download AutoPilot

Attention: AutoPilot runs on Windows systems only (sorry Mac, Linux and other OS users). It may still be useful for you to download the AutoPilot package and make use of the included AutoPilot.lua library

In the pre-Lua Celestia age, I made a .cel script called Space Opera that takes you on a journey through our galaxy.
