What's New in Cosmos
1.3.3
August 12, 2026
Two big new ways to fly! • Orbit Lab — design a satellite, then fly it into orbit around a planet (or take the challenge to escape the Sun!). Steer with real thrusters and limited fuel, watch your orbit reshape live with apoapsis/periapsis markers like a real spaceflight simulator, then drop a rover to the surface and fly the landing yourself — mind the heat shield and your descent speed! • Mars Rover missions — new objectives to complete out on Mars, with live telemetry: odometer, rock samples and a solar battery, plus a mission checklist. Plus keyboard support on Mac and iPad, and polish across the app. Thanks for exploring the cosmos with us!
