Kerbal Space Program (KSP) is a space flight simulation video game developed and published by Squad for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and will be made available on Wii U at a later date. In the game, players direct a nascent space program, staffed and crewed by humanoid aliens known as "Kerbals". The game features a very realistic orbital physics engine, allowing for various real-life orbital maneuvers such as Hohmann transfer orbits and Bi-elliptic transfer orbits.
The first publicly available version was released as a digital download on Squad's Kerbal Space Program storefront on June 24, 2011. The game then became available on Steam's early access program on March 20, 2013. The game was officially released out of beta on April 27, 2015. Kerbal Space Program has support for mods that add new features, and Squad have often added popular ones into the game officially, such as mods for resource mining and context-based missions. Notable people and agencies in the space industry have taken an interest in the game, including NASA and SpaceX'sElon Musk.
The player controls the flow of space program operated by Kerbals, a race of small green humanoids, who have constructed a fully furnished and functional spaceport (known as the Kerbal Space Center, or KSC) on their homeworld Kerbin, which is modelled after Earth. Despite being shown as funny cartoon-like little green men, sometimes lacking common sense, they have shown themselves to be able to construct complex spacecraft parts and perform experiments.
