Deep Space Strategy ยท maps and route engine
solmaps
solmaps computes what it costs to travel between places in the solar system on any day until 2100, and draws the maps that follow from it.
It is the open engine of Deep Space Strategy.
Computation status: what solmaps has computed so far and what runs now.
Maps
Resource atlas
Where water and metals are, with the evidence for each entry.
3D atlas
How ships travel between the planets and where they refuel, with the whole transfer network in 3D.
Growth map
Transfer costs over time, and which propellant hubs save the most.
Station siting
Where the first stations should go, ranked by the objective you choose.
Documentation
How solmaps works gives an overview. The technical documentation gives the formulas and references, and the engine documentation the routing engine's models, checks and limits. The computation status page lists what solmaps has computed so far.
Code and data
