* Quality: Orbiter is based in Newtonian physics, rather than [[star wars physics]]. Orbiter's primary focus is [[realism]], rather than [[graphics]], so you can be sure that the data is as accurate as possible and nothing is sacrificed for the sake of eyecandy.

* Scope: Orbiter allows you to take off from Earth, fly to the Moon, land, refuel, slingshot around Earth, then Mars, fling around towards Jupiter, and land on Ganymede, all with no intermediary loading screens. At the same time, in another scenario, you can recreate the Apollo program with incredible realism, flicking switches and reading dials all the way to the Moon, just as the real astronauts did. Orbiter also features time acceleration to make this possible to do within a more sociable timescale than these journeys would take in real life.

* Uses: Orbiter would be useful for presentations, both in-house and to the public. It can also be used as a showcase for programmers, to demonstrate capacity, and graphics artists, modellers and the like. The scope for Orbiter's development is almost limitless, and as such, so are the potential amount of uses for it.
