Build and launch your own rockets, explore the Solar System, and trace light around a black hole.
A single-player space simulation that brings together rocket building, spaceflight and astronomy. Your journey starts with a small test rocket. What you learn and deliver opens the way to larger vehicles, orbital infrastructure and distant destinations.
Step into the High Bay at the fictional Pelican Point launch site. Assemble fuel tanks, engines, boosters, decouplers, capsules, landing gear and payload fairings, and compare mass, thrust and delta-v as the design takes shape. The flight check tells you what it can achieve and where it falls short.
Follow your rocket from the pad and Mission Control. Reach the edge of space, work toward low Earth orbit, then design for lunar and Martian missions. Launch objectives unlock new parts and reference blueprints, and every payload counts: CubeSats, satellites, station modules, habitats, supplies and rovers.
See Earth rise over the Moon’s horizon and follow the campaign toward lunar and Mars landings, then continue to Jupiter and its Galilean moons, Saturn and its rings, and beyond Neptune. Guided expeditions explain what you see; free flight lets you take your time.
Fly around a non-spinning black hole modeled with Schwarzschild gravity. Switch light bending, gravitational shift and Doppler beaming on and off, compare your clock with a distant one, and follow an infalling observer across the horizon.
Pelican Point is an imagined launch site, and its launches are simulated. Planetary maps draw on NASA and USGS data; the black hole model is non-spinning, and the speculative engines of later chapters are not technology available today.
