Hi I'm Zach. I've been working on this project for a couple months and finally just released it. FIRST ORBIT! is a spaceflight sim made to help teach real astrodynamics in an interactive and visual way. 

I made the game with the goal of helping improve aerospace education for everyone. The controls and gameplay loop are simple: point the rocket, fire the engine, and watch how your trajectory changes. Absolutely no math is required! The game is simple enough for anyone to enjoy, but because of the accurate physics it is deep enough for use in the college aerospace classroom. All kinds of trajectories used in real NASA missions can be replicated in game.

If you've ever wanted to learn how real spaceflight works, or just want to zoom around in a rocket, I hope you check it out! It's currently 20% off as part of the Halloween sale
