Using the simulator
These terms govern use of the Orbio Station website, guided tour, flight simulator and connected features. By using them, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.
You may explore the station, fly simulated missions and create observation reports for recreation or learning. The station geometry, docking guidance, orbital positions and recorded Earth views are simulations. Use official operational sources for actual navigation, emergency response or spacecraft operations.
Acceptable use
Use the simulator lawfully and respect the rights of others. Do not disrupt access for other visitors, bypass access controls, attempt to obtain another person’s data, or use the chat endpoint to relay abusive or unauthorized requests. Only submit material that you have permission to share.
Chat & connected services
When you use live Orbio chat, the app sends your message, recent conversation history and relevant simulator state through its server to OpenAI to generate a reply. Keep passwords, API keys, wallet recovery phrases and sensitive personal information out of chat. Check important factual claims against the original source.
Searching for a place can send your search text to a geocoding provider. Opening a street map or requesting a satellite image can send the selected area and, for imagery, observation dates to the relevant provider. Each provider’s terms apply to its service. See Open-Meteo’s terms and OpenStreetMap’s copyright and license information.
Content & reports
You retain any rights you hold in the notes you write. When you share a report, keep its imagery credits, dates and source information with it so readers can check what the observations show.
Third-party models, software, maps, imagery, textures and fonts remain subject to their respective licenses. These terms do not grant additional rights to those materials or to agency names and logos. Refer to the source credits and licenses and the NASA media usage guidelines when reusing assets.
Availability & your rights
Features depend on your device, browser and, for connected services, external providers. Access can be interrupted, and imagery, model output and map coverage can contain gaps or errors. Save a copy of any report you want to keep.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the simulator is provided as available without a guarantee of uninterrupted service or accuracy. These terms preserve any consumer rights and legal protections that cannot be waived under the law that applies to you.
Changes to these terms
When these terms change, the revised version and its effective date will appear on this page. The updated terms apply from that date, subject to any notice or consent required by applicable law.
