Looking for a 90s interactive encyclopedia about space

[Rudolph]

Back in the mid-90s, there was an interactive encyclopedia on CD about the American space program and the Solar System, complete with pictures, video clips, text descriptions and even virtual fly-overs of the planets. What I most remember is the clip of a space shuttle launch that, if memory serves, played every time a specific space mission - unless said mission's details were classified; in that case, a weirdly-ominous pop-up would appear to inform us about it - or a planet was selected.

 

In this age of Wikipedia and YouTube, it seems utterly laughable, but back in the days, I thought it was awesome and I wish to refresh my memory about it. However, I do not remember how it was called, which complicates my research.

 

Does it ring any bells?

Space Adventure?

 

Spoiler

Unfortunately, no, that is not it. The game I am thinking of had CD-quality audio and did not look like a DOS game.

Solar System Explorer?

Possibly one of these or maybe Encarta?

That is not it either.

I seem to remember the software's menu being fashioned after a space shuttle cockpit.

was it one of the MS Encarta titles?

I strongly doubt it. We had Encarta 95, but the software I am looking for looked nothing like it.
