Advanced Space Flight is a realistic space simulator for interplanetary and interstellar travel. It is the only space simulator available that takes into account relativistic effects during interstellar flight. Besides simulating space flight, this app can also be used as a planetarium, with all known planets shown in real scale with their accurate keplerian orbits. It can also be used as a star chart and exoplanet explorer, showing all solar systems with confirmed exoplanets within 50 light years from the Sun. This is the only app where you can get a sense of the true scale of the Universe, zooming out through thousands of galaxies and galaxy clusters until you see the entire observable universe in your screen. Locations with full access: - All inner planets in the Solar System and its moons: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Phobos, Deimos, Ceres - Nearby star systems: Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri, Sirius, Epsilon Eridani Locations with partial access: - All solar system planets plus 5 dwarf planets. - All confirmed exoplanetary solar systems within 50 light years. - Experience the full scale of the Universe: you can zoom out from a few meters to billions of light years, until you see the entire observable universe in your screen. Flight Modes: - Realistic Flight: Travel using optimised trajectories, calculated based on the orbital parameters of the origin and destination planets to minimise fuel usage. These are the kind of trajectories that would be used in a real space mission. - Free Flight: Take manual control of a spaceship in space, activating the engines as you see fit to achieve your goals. Spaceships: Advanced Space Flight features several spacecraft, but only one in available in this free version: - Space Shuttle (Chemical Rocket): Designed in 1968-1972 y NASA and North American Rockwell. It has been in service from 1981 to 2011, making it the most successful reusable spacecraft ever built. - Falcon Heavy (Chemical Rocket): Designed and manufactured by SpaceX, made its first flight in 2018. - Nuclear Ferry (Nuclear Thermal Rocket): Designed in 1964 by Ling-Temco-Vought Inc. - Lewis Ion Rocket (Ion Drive): Designed in a 1965 study by the Lewis Research Center. Artificial Satellites: Several human-made satellites are present in the app: - Sputnik 1 - Hubble Space Telecope - Internation Space Station - Kepler Space Observatory - Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) - James Webb Space Telescope Join our discord community for discussions or suggestions about the app: https://discord.gg/guHq8gAjpu You can also contact me by email if you have any complaint or suggestion.

Space Rocket Exploration gives you the ability to feel the exctiment of traveling to space and exploring planets like you never have felt and seen before. The game has astonishing graphics and physics that simulate space how it's in the real life! First part of the game is where you have to build your own rocket and launch it in the launch area! There are three stages: small stages, medium stages and larg stages. You can combine all parts of different size and make a big rocket that you can travel and discover planets further and further. Most interesting part of the game is the ability to build a Space Station in space by attaching every single part that you bring from earth. Size of Space Station is unlimited you can also add controllers to make it controllable. Satellite is another object that you can launch in space. You have many different satellites. The Game has all planets with their moons that exist in our solar system which all of them have different characteristics. Now is time for you to try it!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Space Rocket Exploration at monthly against Advanced Space Flight Lite's every 4 months. Space Rocket Exploration also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (313 vs 83). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Advanced Space Flight Lite holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 83 and 313 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Advanced Space Flight Lite's written reviews are positive against 69% of Space Rocket Exploration's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Advanced Space Flight Lite ships an update every 4 months, Space Rocket Exploration monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
