Marslink Direct Clusters

An Earth–Mars optical trunk built from clusters of small laser terminals at each planet, their signals combined coherently. Every number shown is read from the study's published research artifacts — the simulator displays the evidence, it does not re-derive it.

Workspaces

• Simple — fleet evidence case, member count and time acceleration.
• Advanced — orbits, formation model, visibility case and display options.
• Deployment — the deployment programme behind the fleet.

Navigation

• Drag to orbit, right-drag to pan, scroll to zoom.
• Point at a bright Earth or Mars cluster and scroll in to capture it; scroll out to release.
• Click a cluster to lock focus on it.
• The breadcrumb up top shows the current level — System, planet, cluster. Every level is one click away, and ⟲ Reset returns to the start.
• Esc steps up one level.

Tips

• Close-up geometry is physical; point markers and line widths are display glyphs.
• The bottom bar shows the physical scale of the current view.
