Your own space program, with more to explore. Choose a rocket and fly a complete adventure, or jump straight to the Moon and your space station. Guidance handles the flight path while you control the engine and the big mission moments. Stay, explore, and make the next discovery at your own pace. FOUR SPACECRAFT, THREE BIG JOURNEYS Turn each spacecraft around in the interactive hangar. Choose a winged Shuttle, shiny Starship-style explorer, orange SLS-style rocket, or classic Saturn V-style Moon rocket. Every craft can fly Earth & home, Moon, and Space Station. This is imaginative space play: even our shuttle can visit the Moon. A MOON EXPEDITION OF YOUR OWN Walk and hop across the lunar landscape, climb into a six-wheel rover, and head toward craters, landmarks, and a six-room Moon base. Follow picture prompts to find a lava rock, Moon glass, and a bright crystal. Pick up each sample, load the rover, and bring it to the base lab. Scan it, inspect the enlarged result, and arrange your discoveries on the display shelf. Move them, scan them again, or return them to their sites. Drive across uneven ground with working wheels and suspension. Steer around large rocks and roll over small stones. Swipe to look around, switch to your astronaut's helmet view, or use Return to bring yourself and the rover back to the lander or base. Inside the base, visit the greenhouse, science lab, engineering room, mission control, crew quarters, and airlock. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME IN SPACE Build and rearrange station modules, turn the solar panels, and open the cargo doors. Go inside to float through the station. Move cargo, spin and reverse a gyroscope, choose a plant to water, and look down at Earth. The tools are ready to use again whenever you return. EXPLORE YOUR SPACESHIP Step inside your chosen craft during flight. Visit the flight deck, observation area, crew quarters, and engineering. Look through the window, inspect the engine, or rest in a bunk. Your mission waits where you left it. THREE WAYS HOME Capsules descend beneath parachutes and splash down. The Shuttle glides to a runway after you lower its landing gear. Our Starship-style craft returns belly-first: hold BURN to flip and slow down, release to descend, and let guidance cushion the final approach to a fictional future ship tower catch. REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID Your adventure book records your latest 100 outings and their accomplishments. Choose a favorite game photograph for each trip. The in-game gallery keeps multiple pictures with the mission, in-game location, capture date, and time. Your progress, specimens, station activities, and memories save on this device. PLAY YOUR WAY Hold the flight engine button or choose tap-on/tap-off controls. Switch between exterior and cockpit views. Turn sound effects and haptics off separately. Play on iPhone or iPad, in portrait or landscape. Spacecraft capabilities, flight paths, scale, and instruments are simplified for a forgiving space adventure. All vehicles, journeys, and activities are available without unlocks. StageSep works offline. No accounts, advertising, analytics, purchases, tracking, or chat.
