Rocket Science (v0.17.3)

Take part in the first stage of the space program right now! Assemble spacecraft and rockets from over 30 available parts with varying physical parameters. The parts can be joined together through a system of connectors and slots. This significantly reduces the number of non-viable configurations without limiting the flights of your imagination. Put the rockets under your direct control or make flight plans and launch automated missions. But remember that going into orbit around a real planet is far more complicated than orbiting an asteroid. You’ve never been on Everest? Have you dreamed of visiting the Moon? Just send a spacecraft there and enjoy the view you’ll get.

Additional game features

• The Solar system and celestial bodies are modeled to scale (Earth, the Moon, Mars, Phobos and Diemos are currently available for exploration).
• A physically accurate simulation of the Earth’s atmosphere with a seamless transition into space will make your game session unforgettable.
• The planets’ surfaces are generated from NASA elevation maps, and a procedural approach control is used to add fine detail.
• Realistic rocket physics and orbital mechanics.
• Speeding up of time by a maximum factor of 10 even while the engines are running.
• More than 75 parts are available to design your dream spacecraft: command modules, engines and fuel tanks, control and orientation systems, structural elements, decouplers and docking ports, as well as batteries and solar panels.
• Detailed configuration of some rocket parts and the ability to change their physical parameters.
• The engines use real fuel pairs rather than an abstract “fuel” and “oxidizer”.
