First Stage Landing Simulator
Free GameAbout First Stage Landing Simulator
This game shows how hard it is to recover the first stage of a rocket. Try to land smoothly as you can.
- Experience the unique thrill of landing a reusable rocket on a land or drone ship in the middle of the ocean.
- Compete with your friends and world-wide players to see who's the best rocket pilot.
Right now, most rockets are destroyed or lost after they launch into space, meaning entirely new rockets must be built for each mission. Reusable rockets that land themselves are a critical aspect of reducing the cost to reach orbit and increase space access. Space tourism become a reality for everyone and also we will be able to establish a city on Mars in the future.
The majority of the launch cost comes from building the rocket, which flies only once. Compare that to a commercial airliner each new plane costs about the same as Falcon 9, but can fly multiple times per day, and conduct tens of thousands of flights over its lifetime.
Reusability
The rocket doesn't travel straight upward into space but follows a parabolic arc up and away from the launch pad. Because of this, the rocket has to go through a lot to conduct a ground landing. The first stage of the rocket separates at the edge of the earth’s atmosphere. Than the vehicle has to slow down in the direction it's heading and completely turn around. It conducted a series of three recovery burns to maneuver the rocket to a designated landing spot at sea or on land and extreme decelerate it from supersonic speeds for a propulsive soft landing, intact and upright using a quartet of landing legs that deploy in the final moments before a slow speed touchdown.
First historical landing of a rocket made Elon Musk’s SpaceX with Falcon 9. The rocket was launched from NASA Cape Canaveral, that previously been used for space shuttle launches.

There is room for improvement. The way advertisements are used are ridiculous, sometimes the controls wouldn't respond to my touch, and after a while gameplay gets rather boring. Although the graphics are average and I believe this game can be a fantastic game to play with improvements.

Such a stupid app .. needs to watch ad fpr playing each level.. and even not showing ad just saying no connection to server.. wasted my data.

Those who complain about the ads should understand that programmers don't work for free. This app is amazing work and the creator is (despite the ads) making much less than he deserves. Maybe a remove-ads in-app purchase would be great.

Give us an option to buy an ad free version. Who wants to watch 30 seconds of terrible advertisement?

Great game. Ads are annoying, but can be skipped after 5 seconds. Would gladly pay to remove ads.

Fix the dumb glitches and take out the gas buyton, put in a damn lever or something. The on/off of the propulsion is terrible. I need a constant thrust not 'full thrust' or 'no thrust'

Love it! I suggest you to add paid version since I hate ads. Also would like to see variable throttle.

You have to watch an ad before you even play. It is stuck in tutorial mosd. It keeps telling you how to fly while your trying to land. Hate it!

Could do with an ad free version, and the extra ASDS barges don't make sense since SpaceX only takes 1 out into the ocean for their landings at sea. Having fire at the engines after a landing would be cool too (like the main menu).

Amazing game!! Nice graphics, and as far as I can tell, somewhat realistic. Closest thing you can probably get to the real deal.

Well designed simulator, maybe additional moon and Mars (rocky, sandy location on earth) landing background would make it even better.

..this is sweet!..but please make more missions!..i know there's not much too landing a rocket..but make more intricate scenarios somehow..please!..this game could even be worth purchasing!!!

Would pay for an ad free version, the ad spamming is too much! The actual game itself is good.

It's okay for a little bit of entertainment but there are way too many ads

Great game. Ads are now tollerable. Gameplay is great. Could you PLEASE add a slider-button for thrust instead of a normal button? I would imagine a button on which you hold and then slide to increase or reduce thrust. In order for it to be realistic the minimum thrust would be 70%. I think this would greatly improve the gameplay. Thanks!

Please add more levels, it'd be even more awesome if you added levels where you could launch the Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy.

No play, requires ad to play to begin lvl 1 and endless loop of no ad..so worthless.
by X####:
Game itself is simple but well made. The way ads are handled though is disgusting. I get the devs want to make some income for their efforts but they'll make nothing if they force all players to quit with this over the top tactic
