Skybot3D is an extended service of SkyBoT, composed of a Web service and a standalone software. It has been designed for whom wants to explore the Solar System in 3D, to learn the structure of the small solar system objects of the Solar system, and to visualize the various population classes of asteroids Skybot3D screenshot (NEA, Trojans, TNOs, ...). It is also a complementary service of SkyBoT to query and retrieve at once the heliocentric positions of all asteroids or a subset of them.

The high accuracy ephemeris provided by Skybot3D makes it perfect for scientists who are interested to get quickly a snapshot of the solar system at a given epoch.

It is also the ideal tool for whom wants to create realistic animations such as a Solar system tour or the encounter of a Near-Earth asteroid with the Earth.

Skybot3D is the essential software for the professors who want to make discover and explore the 3D structure of the solar system to their students.
