Hosting a Session

This path is for facilitators running an existing Space Range scenario.

You use two products:

  • Zendir Studio to import the .zen scenario, configure Space Range, connect the server, and run the simulation
  • Zendir Operator Admin to monitor teams and exercise activity in a browser

Before you start

  1. Install Zendir Studio
  2. Add an AI token in Studio Preferences once on this machine. Mission Assistant in Operator uses that host token. Operators never enter a key. The token is stored in local preferences, not in the .zen file. See Configuring the Provider, Adding an API Token, and Using Chat During Space Range.
  3. Read the Studio interface overview
  4. Read Running a Simulation so Play, Pause, Reset, and simulation speed are familiar
  5. Obtain the .zen scenario file and any separate brief supplied by the scenario author

NOTE

This guide assumes the scenario has already been built. Building spacecraft, components, orbits, and new scenario systems belongs to scenario authoring.

Facilitator path

Continue to Hosting a Space Range. The guide takes you from importing the .zen file through running and monitoring the live exercise.
