About the Game

Rocket Explorer is a rocket viewing experience

View the rockets of the world with your own eyes. Also in Virtual Reality!
Launch rockets, compare them side by side and take them apart.



Features
  • Browse through 40+ detailed, real-scale rockets in multiple environments: The Rocket Viewer, on the launch pad, and in the “Rocket Hangar”.
  • Launch rockets from a realistic virtual environment, and view them from locations that are off-limits in real life.
  • Explore rockets in different aspects by viewing configurations and comparing them to each other.
  • Get up close to rockets, in ways that are only possible like this.
  • Take the rockets apart, view all the individual stages, and try the “exploded” view! It is totally safe, I promise.
  • Do it all in Virtual Reality with the VR version of Rocket Explorer!



The development of Rocket Explorer is made possible by my fantastic, lovely Patrons.
A special thanks to the producers of Rocket Explorer:
Tim Dodd, NielsNB, Felix Schlang, Andy Law, Marcus House, TJ Cooney, Tom Gerrard, Allan Melsen, MoonDustLisa, Western Mass Pinball Club, and Ben Pollock-Hay!
