With over 70 rocket components, you can build unique rockets to explore our solar system. You can create space stations, landers, satellites, and any space craft that you can think of!

Tiny Space Academy has over a dozen unique planets and moons to explore. Each with their own mass, atmosphere and terrain challenges. Landing on some of these planets can be difficult, but with the right rocket design, your astronauts will make it down safely!

You can perform an EVA while on the surface of any planet or moon. Your astronaut can explore, collect rock samples and run scientific experiments. Just be careful where you step, some planets have deep crevasses.
