About the Game

Master spaceflight in this top-down physics game. As you progress through realistic orbital mechanics challenges of increasing complexity, plotting maneuvers will quickly become second nature.

Utilize tools like time warp while you coordinate transfer orbits, gravity assists, and high-stakes rendezvous.

Features

- Send spacecraft on stable, deterministic trajectories

- Warp time to speed through lengthy journeys

- Execute realistic maneuvers like Hohmann and bi-elliptical transfers

- Plan trajectory intersections and rendezvous with objects in orbit

- Employ gravity assists to propel spacecraft beyond the pull of the solar system

- Forgo planning and manually take control of the stick!
