Space Simulator is an ultra realistic 3D space flight simulation game running real physics in a full-scale Solar System with unrivaled rendering and graphics.

PLAY historic NASA missions of the Apollo Moon Program, Space Shuttle flights, Project Gemini, X-15 Hypersonic Plane and free flight missions to explore all planets and major moons of the Solar System.

LAUNCH from Kennedy Space Center, orbit the Earth and Moon, dock with ISS, perform Trans Lunar Injections, land on the Moon, practise rendezvous and return home with reentry and splashdown.

PLAN complex interplanetary orbits, operate flight computers, use onboard switches, instruments and displays, experience the full challenges of space flight and unleash the astronaut within!


key features:

• Custom missions to explore all planets and major moons in Solar System

• Spaceships have 3D cockpits with functional controls and instruments

• Original audio footage on selected missions

• Interactive orbit planner to easily visualize, create and modify complex interplanetary orbits

• Space Simulator uses real gravitational forces, distances and velocities based on a physics engine especially created for this app running on the GPU

• Ultra realistic rendering engine for the Earth and Moon with high resolution surfaces and atmosphere using a new metal-based graphics engine for unprecedented realism at maximum possible framerate

• The Apollo computers are emulated running actual code from the 1960s

• Configurable window-based UI allowing customization of the interface to suit your preferences

• Configuration options to customize difficulty and gameplay according to your device capabilities

Pros and cons of Space Simulator app for iPhone and iPad

Space Simulator app good for

it s the first good simulator i ve had since orbiter, even better because simpler to use, and able to manoeuver with tactile switches, genuine space ship programs emulated inside the ipad. i spent one full month making rendez vous with the apollo mission. mars is breathtaking. the orbit planner is something new in simulation. space shuttle is waiting on me now.... the new version with gemini is gorgeous!!
This Space Simulator is just amazing with an incredible dynamic and gorgeous graphisms. It is pretty hard to go alone to the moon but the tutorials are very easy to understand and with conviction and interest ou can easily learn how all of the spacecrafts works. And the best of this simulator is that there are always more and more improvement so you cant be boring of it.
1. Der funk zum ECHTEN Start von Apollo 11 geht so: 12-11-10-9-ignition sequence start-6-5-4-3-2-1-0-all engines running-liftoff, we have a liftoff, 32 minutes past the hour, liftoff on apollo 11-tower cleared-weve got a roll program-ok, nil armstrong reporting their roll program that puts apollo 11 on proper heading Der Rest vom Funk ist OK 2. Orion + Altair (Constellation), Soyuz (TMA + LOK) und Hubble (Träger Space Shuttle) wären wilkommen. 3. Eine EVA Feature auf den Ship-Panel und eine Feature, dass man im inneren eines Raumschiffs andere Astronauten SIEHT. Bei diesen Features gib ich ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very detailed, a real simulation (not just another game)....very good support, quick response to questions. Definitivly worth your time and money if you like realistic space flight. I learned a lot with it
This is a very accurate Space Simulator game. It uses real physics and orbital mechanics. The game has a steep learning curve however. Game deserves 5 stars but I have it 4 for the lack of in-game documentation. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more updates and missions.
Amazing and educational learning as I go and if your having trouble with moving and sizing the panels try loading the built in tutorials, I can drag and resize all the panels Easily, just press and hold on the what looks like a power button in the top right corner for about 1 second and then you can drag the panels around, resize them or close them, a really well thought out simulation. Thanks

Some bad moments

With this last update, cannot find "Reference" to input commands! Not good!
iPad Air 2 crashed repeatedly. Had to restart my iPad twice...
When I got it I thought I would be able to create custom probes,rovers,and space craft. No I wasted $5 on this peace of crap. I mean I think it is just focused on the graphics... That is wrong. Its barely entertaining me and has great physics just... Horrible entertainment. Id like them to have a huge update on this request to add that but will probably never happen. I wish in custom scenario you could have access to shuttles and stuff like that. Those out there that have read other ones saying there great are lies... So never get this simulator till the next big update. Just know that if you do get this game your probably wasting $5. No sandvich for this game
I enjoyed the previous version on the iPhone. Now, the controls are written in Liliputian. Cant see anything!!
This game was not I was expecting. I thought this game was more or less like Kerbal Space Program. Misleading tutorials, dont know what to do. I would like a refund for this.
It doesnt teach you how to fly. It only has 3 tutorials I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
