The FlightGear flight simulator project is an open-source, multi-platform, cooperative flight simulator development project. It also simulates space flight in Earth's orbit.
FlightGear's flight dynamics engine (JSBSim) is used in a 2015 NASA benchmark to judge new simulation code to the standards of the space industry. FlightGear is used professionally for research and development, as well as non-professionally.

I created Universe Sandbox, a realistic physics-based space simulator. I started working on the idea as a side project just for fun back in 2007 and released it on my website for free in 2008.
