Control the space programme for the Kerbals, an alien race in Kerbal Space Program. You may create a fully working spacecraft using a variety of pieces according to realistic aerodynamic and orbital principles. Build bases and space stations to extend the range of your exploration as you send your Kerbal crew into orbit and beyond while ensuring their survival. This will allow you to explore the moons and planets of the Kerbol solar system.

There are three different Game modes in Kerbal Space Program. Conduct space experiments in Science Mode to develop Kerbalkind's technological capabilities. Manage all facets of the space programme in Career Mode, including planning, budgeting, upgrades, and more. You can construct any spacecraft you imagine in Sandbox using the available components and technology.

Key Features

• Build spaceships, rockets, and other objects out of any combination of pieces you can think of. Each part has a specific purpose that will impact how your spacecraft behaves.
• Utilize complete control of your ship's configuration to carry out challenging flight manoeuvres.
• Manage your Kerbal workforce by hiring, educating, and launching them into orbit to achieve greatness.
• Explore a vastly complex landscape as you learn about an entire star system that contains distinctive moons and planets.
• Send your Kerbal crew on "extra-vehicular" missions outside their ships.
• Build space stations, enormous starships, and land settlements on new planets by docking spacecraft together.
• Discover biomes and other abnormalities by using satellites to survey the landscape.
• Create communication channels so your spaceship can talk to Kerbal Space Center.
• Explore and create new technologies to gather valuable data and resources from the solar system, among other things!
• Try out some of the many mods the Kerbal Space Program community has produced!

Gameplay

The player controls a space programme run by Kerbals, a race of little green humanoids that call Kerbin home and have built the Kerbal Space Center (KSC), a spaceport. Players can construct rockets, aircraft, spaceplanes, rovers, and other vessels using a set of supplied parts from this space centre. Once built, players can attempt to carry out missions specified by them or directed by the Game by launching the craft from the KSC launch pad or runway to avoid total or catastrophic failure (such as lack of fuel or structural failure). Players operate their spaceship in three dimensions except for a Stability Assist System (SAS) to keep their rocket aligned.

A spacecraft can enter orbit or even go to other celestial bodies if it keeps enough thrust and fuel. The user must enter map mode to see a vehicle's orbit or trajectory; this mode also shows the location and course of other spacecraft and planetary bodies. Targeting these planets and other objects allows for viewing data necessary for rendezvous and docking, such as ascending and descending nodes, target direction, and relative velocity to the object being targeted. Players can use manoeuvre nodes in map mode to strategically arrange trajectory adjustments, which aids in precisely setting burns.
