Reentry – An Orbital Simulator
s a space flight simulator based on real life spacecrafts. You create a new astronaut, gain levels and experience for every move you make by completing missions in space.
Spacecrafts are highly complicated machines with the primary task of exploring and understanding what's outside the atmosphere of Earth, while keeping the astronauts alive for long periods. Thousands of gallons of fuel are consumed to produce enough thrust to bring the rocket through the initial layer of the atmosphere, where the dangers of maximun dynamic pressure are pushing the structural limits of the launch vehicle. Once in orbit, the next maneuvers are planned, while also constantly verifying that the essential systems needed to keep you alive are functional, and that you have a way of returning back to Earth.
