About Kerbal Space Program: In Kerbal Space Program the player takes charge of the space program of an alien race known as the Kerbals. From an array of parts they assemble fully functional spacecraft whose flight – or failure to fly – follows realistic aerodynamic and orbital physics. Crews are sent into orbit and beyond and must be kept alive while exploring the moons and planets of the Kerbol system, constructing bases and space stations. The game offers three modes: Science, where experiments unlock new technology; Career, covering construction, strategy, funding and upgrades; and Sandbox, where every part and technology is available. Mods made by the community are supported too.

About these games
Kerbal Space Program 2 is the sequel to the space-flight simulation Kerbal Space Program, in which players build a space program, construct powerful spacecraft and explore expansive celestial bodies. Colonies require resource gathering for structures, space stations, habitations and unique fuel types. Interstellar travel opens new star systems and celestial bodies, such as Charr, Ovin and the binary pair Rask and Rusk. Multiplayer and modding are also planned.
Mars Horizon is a strategy simulation game in which you run a major space agency from the early days of spaceflight to landing astronauts on Mars. You build a base with launch pads, laboratories and astronaut training facilities, assemble rockets from hundreds of historically inspired parts, and launch satellites and crewed craft. Turn-based missions put you in mission control, managing resources and choosing whether to partner with rival agencies or compete for prestige. You can pick from five agencies, build freely in a Sandbox Mode, and the game was made with support from the European Space Agency.
Juno: New Origins is a 3D aerospace sandbox in which players build and test rockets, planes, cars, or anything else from customizable parts in an environment with realistic physics across land, sea, air, and space. Crafts can be programmed by dragging and dropping code blocks or with the Vizzy language, while engines, fuel tanks, and wings can be shaped and adjusted in detail. Players run their own aerospace company, completing contracts and conquering milestones to earn money and tech points for unlocking new technology. Orbits are simulated realistically and the game supports time-warp.
Stormworks: Build and Rescue is a simulation in which you design, build and pilot your own air and sea rescue service. You assemble vehicles from blocks, program their behaviour and send them into fierce storms over open water to plan and carry out rescues in a range of crisis scenarios. Career mode follows the growth of your service from humble beginnings to coverage of the entire world map, with you managing finances and building new bases.
Habitat is a physics-based game in which you assemble, pilot and fight with space stations built from debris and junk found in orbit. You can upgrade and arm your creations with weapons and structures salvaged in space, and flight follows rocket physics in zero gravity. The campaign consists of story-driven missions set against the doomed Earth, while sandbox mode offers unrestricted building. Space around Earth, the Moon and Mars is procedurally generated, and you can also take resources from rival factions.
Avorion is a procedural co-op space sandbox in which players build their own spaceships from freely scalable blocks. It offers space battles, exploration, mining, trading, wars between factions and building your own empire. Players start at the edge of the galaxy and work their way toward its core, where danger grows but so do the rewards. The story revolves around a catastrophe that tore the galaxy apart several centuries ago, and around the alien Xsotan and a mysterious metal called ‘Avorion’.
