BUILD ROCKETS AND RUN YOUR OWN SPACE PROGRAM • Design rockets part by part in the rocket builder • Launch them in a realistic 3D rocket launch simulator • Put satellites into orbit and earn from your networks • Run a space agency and automate up to 8 launch pads • Land on the Moon and build your own Moon base • Fly missions to Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune • Build spaceports on six worlds and launch from there Rocket Space Program Simulator is a 3D rocket simulator and space agency tycoon in one. Design rockets in the hangar, launch them from your own spaceport, put satellites into orbit and lead your space program from the first launch pad to the Moon, Mars and the edge of the solar system. BUILD YOUR OWN ROCKETS The rocket builder gives you booster engines, orbital engines, fuel modules, heat shields, cargo bays and landers. Every part changes mass, thrust and fuel, and the hangar warns you when thrust is too low or the fuel won't reach orbit. Add, move and remove sections freely. Start with a small rocket ship, then unlock medium, heavy and super-heavy rocket classes – or pick a ready-made rocket from the garage and fly right away. REALISTIC ROCKET LAUNCH SIMULATOR Hit start and watch the liftoff in full 3D: smoke and steam over the launch pad, the climb through the troposphere and stratosphere, stage separation and orbital insertion. Rocket physics, thrust-to-weight and fuel budget are simulated, so a good design reaches orbit and a bad one falls short. Live telemetry shows altitude, speed and payload. Open the cargo bay, deploy satellites and wait for the right transfer window to fly to the Moon. A rocket launch game with real physics behind every number. RUN YOUR SPACE AGENCY Grow your space agency from one launch pad into an interplanetary space company. Take satellite launch contracts, deliver payloads to orbit and get paid. Every satellite joins your communication network and earns money from subscribers every second. Buy new rocket parts, unlock up to eight launch pads and automate them, so your rockets keep flying while you plan the next mission. Level up to unlock better parts and bigger payouts. A space tycoon game where every launch is a real flight, not a progress bar. MOON LANDING AND MOON BASE Start the Moon program: send a lander, land a rover, place a relay and build a Moon base module by module with cargo flights. Once the rover picks the site, buy your first spaceport beyond Earth and launch missions straight from the Moon. MARS AND THE OUTER PLANETS Space exploration never stops: each world unlocks the next one. Land on Mars, then on Ganymede at Jupiter, Titan at Saturn, Titania at Uranus and Triton at Neptune. Each world has its own rover: an ice rover on Ganymede, a methane rover on Titan, a geyser rover on Triton. Build a spaceport on every world and launch new missions from there. Set up research networks that earn data and grants, haul interplanetary freight, open space mines and send a deep space probe out of the solar system – it pays you every day. EASY TO LEARN, DEEP TO MASTER No rocket science degree needed. A step-by-step tutorial guides your first rocket launch and every new chapter: contracts, automation, rocket upgrades, the Moon and beyond. Clear goals always show the next step, while rocket design and the space economy give you plenty to optimize. You also get a 3D spaceport on an island by the sea, a telescope view of your whole space program, offline play, cloud save, 30 languages and a compact HUD for small screens. Love space games, rocket games, space flight simulators or tycoon games? Rocket Space Program Simulator puts a whole space agency in your pocket – part rocket simulator, part space tycoon. Download it now and start the countdown: 3, 2, 1… liftoff!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Don't Crash The Rocket at none against Rocket Space Program Simulator's 5. Don't Crash The Rocket also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
