Provided it maintains sufficient thrust and fuel, a spacecraft can enter orbit or even travel to other celestial bodies.

Players control their spacecraft in three dimensions with little assistance other than a stability system called "SAS" to keep their rocket oriented. Once built, the craft can be launched by players from the KSC launch pad or runway, or other launch pads and runways around Kerbin, in an attempt to complete player-set or game-directed missions while avoiding partial or catastrophic failure (such as lack of fuel or structural failure). Players can create rockets, aircraft, spaceplanes, rovers, and other craft from a provided set of components. Kerbals have shown themselves capable of constructing complex spacecraft parts and performing experiments to realize their scientific goals. The player administers a space program operated by Kerbals, a race of small green humanoids, who have constructed a fully furnished and functional spaceport called the Kerbal Space Center (KSC) on their home planet, Kerbin. Notable people and agencies in the space industry have taken an interest in the game, including NASA. Kerbal Space Program has support for user-created mods that add new features, and popular ones, such as those for resource mining and context-based missions, have received support and inclusion in the game by Squad. The game was released out of beta on 27 April 2015. The first public version was released digitally on Squad's Kerbal Space Program storefront on June 24 2011, and joined Steam's early access program on 20 March 2013. The game features a realistic orbital physics engine, allowing for various real-life orbital maneuvers such as Hohmann transfer orbits and bi-elliptic transfer orbits. In the game, players direct a nascent space program, staffed and crewed by cute-looking green humanoid aliens known as "Kerbals". Kerbal Space Program, commonly abbreviated as KSP, is a space flight simulation video game developed and published by Squad for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. As his gameplay progresses, the calendar is updated. This page is updated regularly (depending on his opportunity)īy the way it's set in an alternate timeline, where the clocks have been rolled back. This Wikia serves as his official page for his missions. He has turned his gameplay experience into a storyline that works like a real international space agency, that launches rockets and operates space stations, filled with kerbal astronauts from all over the globe. John Chryslar, an aerospace engineer and space tourism advocate, runs an in-game space agency in his copy of Kerbal Space Program, modded with Real Solar System.
