Kerbal Space Program

Kerbal Space Program hands you control of a space program run by the Kerbals, small green creatures with big ambitions. Your job is to build rockets, planes and space stations that can reach orbit, land on the Mun and explore the planets of the Kerbol system.

Developed by Mexican studio Squad and released in 2015, it is famous for teaching real orbital physics through play. NASA staff and real engineers have praised it, and it remains a favorite in classrooms. The two official expansions, Making History and Breaking Ground, add historic missions, surface science and robotics.
