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.

AstroFlight — Pilot Your Rocket Through the Solar System Embark on an unforgettable journey across our solar system with AstroFlight, a fully 3D space exploration and flight simulation game built for iPhone and iPad. Whether you're a space enthusiast, an aspiring astronaut, or just looking for a relaxing yet challenging flight experience, AstroFlight puts the cosmos at your fingertips. EXPLORE A LIVING 3D SOLAR SYSTEM Spin, zoom, and glide through a beautifully rendered solar system featuring all eight planets, each with realistic relative sizes, orbital distances, and orbital speeds. Watch Mercury race around the sun while distant Neptune drifts slowly along its massive orbit. Saturn's iconic rings shimmer as it rotates, and a dense starfield surrounds you on every side, creating a true sense of scale and wonder. Tap on any planet to learn fascinating facts — discover why Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, why Mars is called the Red Planet, and what makes Jupiter's Great Red Spot so famous. Every planet includes bite-sized educational content that's fun for explorers of all ages. FLY YOUR OWN ROCKET When you're ready for action, launch your rocket toward any planet and switch into an immersive cockpit view. Steer using an intuitive on-screen joystick or connect a compatible game controller for precision control. Hold the thrust button to accelerate, and watch your fuel gauge — every second of thrust counts. REALISTIC GRAVITY AND FLIGHT PHYSICS AstroFlight features a genuine flight model where each planet's gravity affects your rocket differently. Heavier planets like Jupiter and Neptune pull harder, while smaller worlds like Mercury and Mars are more forgiving. Master the balance between speed, fuel, and gravity to land smoothly — come in too fast, and your rocket won't survive. LAND, EARN, AND UPGRADE Successfully landing on a planet rewards you with credits based on its difficulty. Use your earnings to unlock more powerful rockets in the Hangar: Scout I — your reliable starting rocket Voyager Heavy — increased thrust and fuel capacity for tougher missions Titan X — the ultimate rocket for conquering the outer planets Each rocket offers different thrust-to-fuel ratios, giving you new strategies for tackling distant worlds like Uranus and Neptune. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESSION Track your progress with a built-in achievement system: First Touchdown — land on your first planet Inner System Explorer — conquer Mercury, Venus, and Mars Outer System Explorer — master Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune Grand Tour — land on all eight planets and complete your collection Your mission log keeps a running history of every launch, landing, and crash. DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE AstroFlight includes a friendly welcome guide that walks new players through the controls — exploring the solar system, launching, steering, managing fuel, and landing safely. Revisit the guide anytime from the Hangar menu. FEATURES AT A GLANCE Fully 3D solar system with all eight planets, realistic orbits, and a dynamic starfield Tap-to-explore planet cards with fun facts about each world Immersive cockpit flight mode with gravity-based physics On-screen joystick plus full support for MFi and Bluetooth game controllers Three unlockable rockets with unique thrust and fuel stats Credit-based economy and progression system Built-in achievement tracking Particle effects for thrust and crashes Haptic feedback for an immersive feel Friendly onboarding guide for new players One-time purchase — no subscriptions, no ads, no IAP required A SPACE ADVENTURE THAT NEVER GETS OLD Whether you're threading the needle for a perfect landing on Mars, racing gravity to reach distant Neptune, or simply enjoying the planets in orbital view, AstroFlight offers something for every kind of space explorer.
