Satellites Rockets Epic Failures! Build them all in KSP

Realistic space flight simulation about fictional Apollo 18 flight. View training FMVs, pass all the tests, and pilot Saturn V capsule as Mission Control guides you. The game has no save feature and there are many ways to fail the mission.

This real-time 3-D flight simulator puts you at the controls of an advanced Enterprise Class Space Shuttle. Your mission is to deliver needed supplies to a space station orbiting the Earth. Your mission has four phases. In Earth Lift-Off, once your shuttle clears the launchpad, you must carefully control the pitch of your spacecraft to gain the proper vertical and horizontal velocity to achieve orbit. In Orbital Rendezvous, with your shuttle now in orbit, you must determine the correct thrust angle to boost your spacecraft into the space station's orbit. In Approach, you are now in the space station's orbit, but it is out of visual range. You must adjust the shuttle's three directional velocities to bring the shuttle to withing visual range of the space station. In Alignment and Docking, once you are within visual range of the space station, you must carefully maneuver the shuttle into the docking port in a sequence reminiscent of the docking sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

Lunar Explorer is a real-time 3D simulation of flight from lunar orbit to moon landing. Using either keyboard or joystick controls, the player must master the forces of gravity and inertial motion as he maneuvers a Lunar Landing Vehicle (LLV) over hazardous terrain. Flights can begin at the Tranquility Base landing pad, in close approach to the lunar base, or in orbit around the Moon. This LLV simulator exposes moon pilots to the dangers of inaccurate navigation, inefficient fuel consumption, and incorrect maneuvering. If fuel is consumed before the LLV reaches its destination, the craft will either crash into the lunar surface or orbit the Moon "forever." The cockpit window presents the lunar landscape from the pilot's perspective. Solid color 3-D graphics depict important environmental features such as lunar bases, refueling stations, craters, and constellations. The accompanying manual not only describes how to operate the game, but also describes in detail NASA's hypothetical plans for a space station and lunar mining facility. Another section describes the game's use in the classroom.
