The document describes a prototype for a game called Solar Sailor Shuttle. The player must control a shuttle using a joystick to navigate from a home base to land on a rotating planet within a limited fuel supply. The prototype includes a frame, air flow and return systems to simulate movement, a user interface, shuttle model, planet driver to control rotation, microcontroller, and display. It provides details on the components, including fans, sensors, motors, and electronics to operate the game functions and simulate the solar system environment. The goal is to create an educational interactive prototype to simulate space travel.
