About Space Radar Video
Films from Space Radar, the free 3D map of everything in space: narrated flights to the Moon, the planets and other stars, with chapters and transcripts.
Space Radar Video holds the films made with Space Radar, the free, open-source 3D map of everything in space. Each one is a flight across the map, narrated, with every star, planet and spacecraft where its published orbit or catalogue puts it. Every film has a page with its chapters, the full transcript and how it was made.
Horizontal films only
This is the home of the wide films. Short vertical clips live on our social channels.
YouTube, without the tracking
Some films play from YouTube. Until you press play, the page shows our own poster and loads nothing from YouTube; when you do, the film plays through youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced player. Films we host ourselves play from this site, with captions.
What is real, and what is drawn
Each page says what is synthetic and what is drawn larger than life: a synthetic narrating voice, planet surfaces nobody has photographed (labelled "Artist's impression" on screen), spacecraft models enlarged so you can see them. The positions themselves are computed from the sources in the credits.
Email updates
Every page has an email sign-up. You get a confirmation link first, every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and there are no tracking pixels or rewritten links. Privacy.
For readers that are machines
Every page is plain HTML that needs no script, and every film is also Markdown at its address with .md added, with its transcript. /llms.txt lists the films, /llms-full.txt holds the full text, the feeds are RSS, Atom and JSON Feed, and the video sitemap describes every film. Search and AI crawlers are welcome.
More from Space Radar
The 3D map is where these films are made: every trip in them can be flown there yourself. The journal explains what is up there and how we know, and the games are the team's space games.
