Space Manager

Space Manager is a sandbox simulation about building and managing an aerospace empire. Balance finances and contracts with the costs of launching rockets, while choosing an Earth launch center whose geography, weather and regional bonuses affect launch efficiency and expense. Send satellites to Earth, the Moon and other planets, and use sensors and a telescope to collect information about planetary bodies. Develop your operation through research, custom engine profiles and self-designed missions, while monitoring launches where even careful preparation does not guarantee success.

Gameplay and features

• Manage contracts and missions: Take on contracts and launch satellites to earn cash, reputation and experience points, helping fund the costs of rocket launches.
• Choose a launch center: Select a spaceport on Earth; its geography, weather and regional bonuses influence the efficiency and cost of your launches.
• Collect and sell planetary data: Use sensors and a telescope to gather information such as atmosphere, temperature and radio emissions, then build data centers to auction and sell data.
• Develop skills and upgrades: Hire a chief research developer and advance through research upgrades, including options that reduce launch-failure risk or procurement costs.
• Customize rockets and missions: Adjust engine profiles using parameters such as thrust, efficiency, endurance and overdrive, then create custom missions and payloads.
