Advanced Space Flight
Besides simulating space flight this app can also be used as a planetarium, with all known planets shown in real scale with their accurate keplerian orbits. It can also be used as a star chart and exoplanet explorer, showing all solar systems with confirmed exoplanets within 50 light years from the Sun.
This is the only app where you can get a sense of the true scale of the Universe, zooming out throught thousands of galaxies and galaxy clusters until you see the entire observable universe in your screen.
Locations:
- All Solar System planets plus 5 dwarf planets and 27 moons
- All confirmed exoplanetary solar systems within 50 light years from the Sun, making a total of over 100+ exoplanets.
- Over 50+ stars, including main sequence stars like the Sun, red dwarfs like TRAPPIST-1, white dwarfs like Sirius B, brown dwarfs like 54 Piscium B, etc.
- Experience the full scale of the Universe: you can zoom out from a few meters to billions of light years, until you see the entire observable universe in your screen.
Flight Modes:
- Realistic Flight: Travel using optimized trajectories, calculated based on the orbital parameters of the origin and destination planets to minimize fuel usage. These are the kind of trajectories that would be used in a real space mission.
- Free Flight: Take manual control of a spaceship in space, activating the engines as you see fit to achieve your goals.
Spaceships:
Advanced Space Flight features several spacecraft, based on present and future technology:
- Space Shuttle (Chemical Rocket): Designed in 1968-1972 by NASA and North American Rockwell. It has been in service from 1981 to 2011, making it the most successful reusable spacecraft ever built.
- Falcon Heavy (Chemical Rocket): Designed and manufactured by SpaceX, made its first flight in 2018.
- Nuclear Ferry (Nuclear Thermal Rocket): Designed in 1964 by Ling-Temco-Vought Inc.
- Lewis Ion Rocket (Ion Drive): Designed in a 1965 study by the Lewis Research Center.
- Projecy Orion (Nuclear Pulse Propulsion): Designed in 1957-1961 by General Atomics. Some early prototypes were built before the project was abandoned after 1963.
- Project Daedalus (Fusion Rocket): Designed in 1973-1978 by the British Interplanetary Society.
- Antimatter Startship (Antimatter Rocket): First proposed in the early 1950s, the concept was further studied after advances in antimatter physics in the 80s and 90s.
- Bussard Ramjet (Fusion Ramjet): First proposed in 1960 by Robert W. Bussard, design was improved in 1989 by Robert Zubrin and Dana Andrews.
- IXS Enterprise (Alcubierre Warp Drive): Based on a concept design fom NASA in 2008, it was the first serious attempt to design a superluminal spacecraft.
Artificial Satellites:
- Sputnik 1
- Hubble Space Telecope
- Internation Space Station
- Kepler Space Observatory
- Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)
- James Webb Space Telescope
Effects:
- Atmospheric light scattering effects, making atmospheres look realistic both from space and from the surface of planets.
- Planetary clouds that move at different speed than the surface.
- Clouds in tidal-locked planets form giant hurricanes, caused by the Coriolis force.
- Planetary rings with realistic light scattering and real-time shadows from the planet.
- Realtivistic effects when travelling close to the speed of light: time dilation, length contraction and relativistic doppler effect.

the added controlls finaly made it playable in freeflight after the last update!!! now it just needs buttons for normal & antinormal & some kinda inclination indicator to make inclination changes easier... & i wish it would start you in orbit at the point in space you selected not just siting there with 0v... & i wish it didnt have the first stage still attached on the falcon or the tank on the shuttle. the extra delta v is nice but its just unrealistic so maybe just make it a option & i would like to see something with an ion drive thats real & really does get that kinda delta v... but overall its a great sim...
Great game and a lot of fun. The only reason I haven't rated it 5 stars is because there is no save game option in planetarium mode. It would be great to be able to save the game with all of my ships/missions exactly where I left them. Other than that, great game and a lot of fun!
Had a bad experience... it may be good... but as I don't know how to get controls....i just uninstalled it...these 4 stars for ur work and designing team...and ur ability to design such a space game which involves a broad mind with a huge knowledge....♡♡ well... through i recieved an experience of loneliness in space...♤
It would be amazeing if people didnt have to pay money for almost everything. Its kind of anoying. Makes sense though because its proboly dificult to have to add in all the stuff. Other than that the game is one of the best ive ever seen for phones.
Beautiful graphics, but the control interface leaves something to be desired. The game would especially benefit from an orbital View instead of behind the spacecraft.
The controls are terrible. With the space shuttle, they don't even know that it's supposed to orbit with the top toward the Earth. It's like they made the ships, but did not do there homework. It's very unrealistic. It's just an exercise in frustration. Very disappointing.
It is a very good game,just abit complicated,although i dont like how you have to buy some spacecrafts...hides the games full potentail (edit) please make landing back on the planet possible
Its way too easy to accidentally tap on the time speed slider and screw up your whole flight. Also an option to restart your flight without having to close and reopen the app would be nice
Awesome. The best space exploration game I've played. I'd like to be able to explore more stars in the milky way like pulsars or neutron stars. It would also be cool to be able to see super novas and black holes. I would like to be able to at least zoom in and explore other galaxies and learn the names of them as well.
Garbage. Tutorials are multiple YouTube videos with a really annoying, monotone voice. The game has good graphics but you can't figure out the game or see anything.
What am i supposed to do? The controls are terrible, you cant play the tutorials. And you start in space already. Just go play Spaceflight Simulator, or heck, if you have a console or a PC, get Kerbal Space Program. They are way more fun than this.
This game is so addicting about interstellar travel. I would like intergalactic travel. Guess what thats why you made an enterprise that travels 99% of the speed of light with no booster on that is SUPER FAST! Because of the new engine called a helical engine cool :D.
Can you add all of the exoplanets and can you add procedural planets and stars please?
Love this game. I broke it in the first minutes lol
It is a good game, but yuo need to remove the exoplanet Fomalhaut b (Dagon). Why? Because it's not a planet, we found out it was a collision between two large objects in that asteroid belt around Fomalhaut. Also notice Fomalhaut's name in-game, it's called "Formalhaut". It's meant to be called Fomalhaut, remove the "r" from the name
You are amazing man! I love the physics and good animation. Space programs feels a lot real. It would be great if you make accessible andromeda and a few galaxies nearby.
I like the idea sms I watched the tutorials but the only mission I cam launch is orbiting the earth. How do Go to other planets, the launch is red rather than green. I would like to rate this but can't use it right now. I do not want to uninstall...
The game crashed as soon as I try to open it. That's the only issue I have. It would be great if the developers could add Space-X's Starship in the next update.
First off. When someone wants to go through a tutorial you don't give them a video to watch. you let them do the tutorial. This game is a disaster if it doesn't allow the gamer to do the tutorial themselves.
I can't even get to the nearest star system with the ships that are available without the upgrade, and I don't have money, but this game still looks cool and realistic, so 3/5
Unlocked entire solar system but could not go interstellar because of a maximum date, kind of disappointing. I actually was willing to wait 8-10 hours at maximum time warp speed to make it happen too.
Will we get city's in the game when you land a space ship on a moon and other's like you sent a bunch of people to other planets so they can explore the Stars so they can build city's for science and technology so they can do there business that update will be pretty cool because it's a very interesting idea
Suggestion: You should add a button where it can take you to this screen where you can send a rocket to the ISS and dock there, or you can send a rocket to any satellite. Another suggestion: You should increase orbit size limit. you know for earth i can even get about halfway to almost out of earths gravitational field in orbit. For a new size limit you can make it where you can send a rocket out a little beyond the moons orbit so you can orbit earth almost outside its gravitational field.
Yea I mean the game is cool but they give a few things to expierience and one planet to fly to but as for the rest you have pay with real money it's so expensive and you can't go more than 1000m
I love this game very much! I can travel everywhere in the solar system with the highest-graded and fastest ship in the game! I can go to other planets in as little as 5 minutes. If only it was possible in the real world!
There needs to be more places. Like the entire Galaxy and the whole universe you can explore with many many systems and planets and all the stars and planets in the whole universe (Every supercluster) and add a rocket to explore the Galaxys and a greater one for whole Superclusters and add more Universes like a Multiverse (25 Universes) and the Multiverse will be the biggest object If YOU add this it will allow much more fun! And I'll rate 25 stars right here in this review
Amazing game. Make it so we can build our own launch vehicles and add more spacecrafts and ill make it 5. Oh and also make interplanetary journeys possible with say a falcon heavy via gravity assists
