Is Kerbal space program scientifically accurate?

The orbit simulation is quite accurate, including how to change inclination, raise/lower orbits, leave a planet, and approach a new planet. The staging is somewhat accurate. The use of fuel, acceleration, mass, etc. are pretty accurate.

Is spaceflight simulator realistic?

But it is not a realistic orbital flight simulator and has little to no orbital mechanics simulation, it is all on rails with pre-designed flights, whichis realistic).

Does KSP teach orbital mechanics?

In short: KSP teaches a lot, while using physics and orbital mechanics that are not so overly complicated that it gets too frustrating. It stays in the area that most people can still grasp. And for those who want the extra challenge, the game can be modded.

What is the most realistic space simulator?

The best space games are:

• Star Trek Online.
• Star Conflict.
• Eve Online.
• No Man’s Sky.
• Stellaris.
• Kerbal Space Program.
• Homeworld Remastered Collection.
• Outer Wilds.

What is the difference between real life and Kerbal Space Program?

One thing that is different is the lack of orbital decay. In kerbal, if you get above 68km, you will stay there forever. In real life, even extremely high orbits are subject to decay, since our atmosphere is much more complicated than KP can model. Things like the ISS have to constantly make adjustments to stay in orbit.

Is Kerbal the best space simulator ever?

While Kerbal is one of the most successful space simulators ever created, it’s just one of many being now being developed as educational, potentially inspirational tools. David Braben, co-creator of the space trading sim Elite, is now overseeing the development of a new titles in the series, Elite: Dangerous.

What is the best space flight simulation game?

Kerbal Space Program is an independent spaceflight simulation game, which has become quickly popular due to being (kind of) precise at simulating actual spaceflights. But how precisely?

What happens to an object with a very high orbit?

In real life, even extremely high orbits are subject to decay, since our atmosphere is much more complicated than KP can model. Things like the ISS have to constantly make adjustments to stay in orbit. Things like solar flares have a tendency to spew atmospheric particles up into higher orbits and make orbiting objects slow down.
