Welcome to the International Space Station! It’s your job to make sure the H-II Transfer Vehicle is successfully berthed to the ISS. But can you perform your tasks while experiencing the effects of microgravity? Trying to move in zero-g will be different than what you are used to on Earth. Spend some time flying and flipping around the station without gravity to assist you. But be careful, you might get sick! Collect mission patches for completing tasks, counteracting the effects of microgravity, and making discoveries. The app also contains information on how microgravity affects humans in space, for use in the classroom and at home.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: NASA Science at 4.5 against PROGRAMMATTACA's 3.9. NASA Science also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 67%) and ratings volume (57 vs 7). PROGRAMMATTACA's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
