# Open Files

In order to view the data contained within the data files generated by the rover during a scan, you must first load them into SpatialExplorer. This can be done by using the File menu near the top right corner of SpatialExplorer, navigating to File → Open file. Alternatively, you can press the keyboard shortcut CTRL + O.

![Open file(s) in SpatialExplorer 4.0](/files/-LT-TML46w79MbWHS0Jw)

![Open file(s) in SpatialExplorer 5.0](/files/-M04QJKUf5qxb4aIqehI)

The dialog window will prompt you to load your desired data. We recommend loading your .plp (Phoenix LiDAR Project) file that will reference the trajectory, LiDAR and camera data. You can also select and open individual files from within this interface such as your post processed trajectory file. Refer to [Trajectory Data Formats](/spatialexplorer/work-offline/workflow/navigation.md#trajectory-data-formats) for a complete list of compatible trajectory formats. SpatialExplorer version 3.5 and above supports loading and viewing native Inertial Explorer trajectories such as CLS/CTS solutions.

Once the data files have been loaded, the trajectory data along with the initial system status data is displayed. SpatialExplorer allows viewing important system and mission values such as system voltage and temperature (only when using .nav files), or navigation system data like the vehicle's position and orientation, solution accuracy or the number of satellites tracked.
