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.

[ SYSTEM ACTIVE ] Welcome to Rocket Touchdown — a no-forgiveness landing simulation. This isn’t just a game. It’s a test of precision, control, and physics. Your mission is simple: Control your spacecraft, manage limited fuel, fight gravity… and land safely. But one mistake? Total mission failure. Built on pure physics and wrapped in a retro-futuristic terminal aesthetic, Rocket Touchdown delivers a brutal, skill-based arcade experience. Key Features • Authentic Flight Physics Master the balance between main thrusters and RCS controls. Every input matters. • 8 Unique Spacecraft Unlock and command 8 distinct crafts—from the agile Hermes to the titan Zenith—each with unique thrust, armor, and handling profiles. • Flight Directives & Daily Protocols Access the onboard Flight Terminal. Complete 75+ career directives across 9 flight disciplines, tackle 24-hour rotating daily protocols, claim rewards, and rise from Cadet to Cosmic Legend. • Multiple Environments Train on Earth, survive the Moon, and conquer Mars across 99 progressive missions. • Dynamic Hazards Dodge meteors, endure laser strikes, collect orbital shields, and exploit mysterious wormhole warps. • Global Leaderboards Compete worldwide on Game Center and prove you’re the ultimate pilot. • Brutalist Interface CRT scanlines, monochrome displays, and immersive deep-space audio. Do you have the precision to land? Or will you burn on impact? [ LAUNCH SEQUENCE INITIATED ]

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Rocket Touchdown at 5.0 against Advanced Space Flight Lite's 3.9. Rocket Touchdown also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months). Advanced Space Flight Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (83 vs 2). On price, ads and device support 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. Rocket Touchdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Advanced Space Flight Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
Rocket Touchdown holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Advanced Space Flight Lite has 83 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Advanced Space Flight Lite ships an update every 4 months, Rocket Touchdown every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
