Background
-OpenSpace started as a collaboration between Sweden's [Linköping University](https://immvis.github.io) (LiU) and the [American Museum of Natural History](https://www.amnh.org) (AMNH). Development of the software began several years ago through a close collaboration with NASA Goddard's [Community Coordinated Modeling Center](https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov) (CCMC) to model space weather forecasting and continued with visualizations of NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto and ESA's Rosetta mission to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This promising set of preliminary work provided a foundation for continued funding from NASA, the Swedish eScience Research Centre, and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation, which has extended the collaboration to include the University of Utah's [Scientific Computing and Imaging](https://www.sci.utah.edu) (SCI) Institute, [New York University](https://www.nyu.edu)'s Tandon School of Engineering, multiple informal science institutions across the world, and multiple, international vendors.

Getting Started
-This repository contains the source code and example profiles for OpenSpace, but does not contain any data. To build and install the application, please check out the [Documentation](https://docs.openspaceproject.com). Here, you will find the build instructions for all operating systems. Please note that the Apple Silicon series of chips do not support OpenGL natively and Metal 2 does not support `double` precision accuracy (see the [specification](https://developer.apple.com/metal/Metal-Shading-Language-Specification.pdf) Section 2.1), therefore only the Intel processors for MacOS are supported and maintained.
