A space adventure built for curious explorers. Choose a rocket, choose a destination, and take command. Launch from Earth, separate stages, explore orbit, land on the Moon, and bring the crew home. Guidance handles the flight path while you control the engine and the big mission moments. YOUR OWN FLEET Turn each spacecraft around in the interactive hangar before you fly. Choose a winged shuttle, a shiny Starship-style explorer, an orange SLS-style rocket, or a classic Saturn V-style Moon rocket. Every vehicle can fly every mission. This is imaginative space play: even our shuttle can visit the Moon. THREE WAYS HOME Capsules float down beneath parachutes. Winged vehicles glide to a runway: lower the gear, touch down, and roll to a stop. Our Starship-style craft returns belly-first, flips for its landing burn, and settles into a tower catch inspired by a possible future ship recovery. Tap LAND and guidance handles the landing burn. EXPLORE YOUR SPACESHIP Step inside your chosen craft at any point in a flight. Float through the flight deck, observation area, crew quarters, and engineering. Look out at Earth through a recessed spacecraft window, inspect the engine, or curl up in a bunk. Stay as long as you like; your mission waits exactly where you left it. THREE BIG ADVENTURES Earth & home: launch, orbit Earth, and return by capsule splashdown, shuttle runway landing, or a future-inspired Starship catch. Moon: launch, stage, dock with the lander, travel to lunar orbit, land, explore, lift off, and return home. Space Station: fly to orbit, build your station, explore inside, and complete the trip home. STAY AWHILE ON THE MOON Walk and hop across a vast lunar landscape, climb into a six-wheel rover, and leave tire tracks as you set off toward distant craters and discoveries. Swipe to look around or see through your astronaut's helmet while walking and driving. Your helmet follows the rover through turns while keeping your chosen look-around angle. A Return button brings both you and your rover back to the lander or Moon base. Explore a six-room base with a greenhouse, science lab, engineering room, mission control, crew quarters, and airlock. Try the equipment, rest in the bed, and wake up for another expedition. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME IN SPACE Attach station modules, turn the solar panels, open the cargo doors, and look down at Earth from the cupola. Go inside and float through the station in zero gravity. REMEMBER YOUR ADVENTURES Take multiple photographs during a mission. Browse your in-game photo library with the mission, location, capture date, and time shown on each picture. Your journey, discoveries, station, and Moon expedition save on this device. CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR PLAY Switch between exterior and cockpit views during flight. Follow altitude, speed, mission time, and fuel. Hold the engine button or choose tap-on/tap-off controls in the pause menu. Sound effects and haptics can be turned off separately. Play on iPhone or iPad, in portrait or landscape. The spacecraft, flight paths, instruments, and mission timing are simplified for a forgiving space adventure. StageSep works offline.
