SpaceStationSim is a simulation software creating a launched space station for managing activities of astronauts. The virtual environment is customizable, allowing the user to add modules and components. The rich experience allows playing in the outer space, but watch out for accidental tourist encounters.
But it's not just about building - you'll also get to manage a crew of astronauts who live and work on the space station. You'll need to keep them healthy and happy by managing their day-to-day activities, such as eating, sleeping, and exercising. And watch out for the space tourist who occasionally causes trouble and chaos onboard.
Developed in collaboration with NASA, SpaceStationSim features contributions from over 50 NASA astronauts and civil servants, making the game as realistic and informative as possible. It's designed for gamers aged 12 and older who have an interest in space exploration.
The game also boasts an impressive set of features, including over 36 of the most realistic CAD-derived modules from NASA, ESA, JAXA, RSA, and CSA. You'll also have access to over 40 stylized components, ranging from air quality management to materials science experiments. And a unique artificial intelligence system governs the dynamic life support conditions and astronaut mental, physical, and emotional health.
Another exciting feature is the astronaut builder, which allows you to design your own astronauts, from their physical characteristics to their training and experience. The astronauts themselves become smarter as the game progresses, so you can focus on building an even larger station.
And with a responsive user interface and stealth learning features, you can get lost in the game and learn how to sustain life aboard a space ship without even realizing it. If you're a fan of space simulators, SpaceStationSim is definitely worth checking out.
