VoyagerOS is a browser-based operating system built for the fictional Voyager-9 deep-space probe.
The goal is to make it feel like real software instead of just another website. From the boot sequence to the desktop, terminal, applications and virtual filesystem, everything happens inside the operating system.
VoyagerOS is also part of a larger project alongside This Alien Does Not Exist. The long-term goal is to make VoyagerOS the in-universe operating system used aboard Voyager-9 for discovering, documenting and cataloguing procedurally generated alien species through the Alien Registry.
