Spaceflight Simulator is a 2D space flight simulation video game developed and published by Štefo Mai Morojna for iOS, iPadOS, Android, macOS, and Microsoft Windows. It was released on App Store on 29 November 2017. [1] In the game, players build their own rocket with parts available to explore different planet. The game features a realistic orbital physics engine, allowing for various real-life orbital manoeuvres such as Hohmann transfer orbits and bi-elliptic transfer orbits.
As of April 2022, the game has approximately 10 million downloads on Google Play. [2]
The game features a stellar system inspired by the Solar System, which included the Sun, the Inner planets and their satellites. Planets expansion pack features Jupiter and the Galilean moons and the planet editing/creation capability.
Gameplay
The rocket can be created via the build menu, with different categories like engines or aerodynamics.
The Build Menu
The build menu has parts that can be dragged into the build area.With the help of symmetry option (bottom left) players can build rockets with ease.
In order to launch the rocket the player must push the launch button in the top right corner. After selecting the launch button the rocket is taken to the launchpad.
Launching The Rocket
To launch the rocket the player has to enable the engines by tapping them, then the player has to turn on the thrusters by tapping the button on the right side of the screen; below the button is a slider that allows you to control the thrust, when launching a rocket the slider is automatically set to 50% but can be increased or decreased before activating the thrusters. Getting to orbit is easy, there is a angle indicator which shows the needed angle to get to orbit. once you get to orbit you can do various things(Some examples are. 1: Deploying a satellite. 2: Going to another planet. 3: Docking and with skill, you can make a space station)
To turn parts on or off they need to be tapped or included in the staging.[4]
Development
Pre-1.5:[5]
The game was created by Štefo Mai Morojna as an application for the development team of Kerbal Space Program, which he hasn’t got a response.[6] Version 1.0 was the game initial public released on App Store on 29 November 2017.

Batteries and RTGs can not be found in the build menu and are grayed out in existing buildings and blueprints. It has been confirmed that The Electric System will be re-added in a future update.
