Solar Explorer 2.7.3: Santa edition
For the holidays, Solar Explorer will feature Santa and Rudolph travelling around the Earth. As a special bonus, in Flight Mode you’ll be piloting his sleigh and can take Santa and Rudolph on a tour of the Solar System. It’s temporary, so if you want to experience “Santa Mode”, now is the time.

Are you wondering how Santa can survive hard vacuum without a space suit? His sleigh is powered by magic, which I’m told also provides a breathable oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere to those onboard.
For those who prefer to travel without bells jingling, I’ve added an option called “Holiday Mode” to the Settings menu. This can be used to turn Santa off.
A busy few weeks
I’ve been busy releasing a series of incremental updates on my apps for the past week or so. Apologies to anyone who’s had multiple update requests for any of my apps. The pace will slow down a bit from now on.
January update
Thanks to Santa, Solar Explorer is going to be featured on the Google Play front page in early January! To celebrate, I released a quick update that extended Santa’s visit for a couple of weeks and also fixed a bug in the german translation.
