Travelsolar

Travelsolar is a space exploration game set among celestial bodies in the real solar system. You begin by piloting a spacecraft from Earth orbit to the Moon, then choose planets or satellites to explore.

Journeys require planning: the spacecraft cannot reach distant destinations on its carried fuel alone, so routes include space refueling stations where you can dock and replenish fuel. Running out of fuel or being struck by a meteorite causes the spacecraft to crash and the mission to fail. Some astronomical knowledge can help with the exploration tasks.

Gameplay and features

• Plan solar-system journeys: Travel from Earth orbit to the Moon, then select planets or satellites as destinations for further exploration.
• Refuel along the route: Use space refueling stations on the planned route to replenish the spacecraft’s fuel during long-distance voyages.
• Avoid mission failure: Manage fuel and watch for meteorites: running out of fuel or being hit by one causes a crash and ends the mission.

Frequently asked questions

Where does an exploration journey begin?

The simulated journey starts with a spacecraft flying from Earth orbit to the Moon. From there, you can select planets or satellites to explore.

How does refueling work?

Routes to distant destinations include space refueling stations. The spacecraft can dock at these stations to replenish fuel and continue its voyage.

What can cause a mission to fail?

The spacecraft crashes and the mission fails if it runs out of fuel or is hit by a meteorite during exploration.

Does the game involve astronomy?

Yes. The game is set among real solar-system celestial bodies, and some astronomical knowledge can help you complete its exploration tasks.
