Kerbal Space Program is a space-flight sandbox where engineering meets orbital mechanics. Design rockets, master staging, reach orbit, and plan missions beyond Kerbin. These tutorials help you explore the systems behind your spacecraft.
Watch the tutorials below and explore different spacecraft designs, mission concepts, and approaches to building and flying vehicles in KSP.
Explore a Single-Stage-to-Orbit spacecraft design using R.A.P.I.E.R. engines. SSTO vehicles combine atmospheric flight and orbital insertion in one craft.
SSTO / R.A.P.I.E.RExplore a prototype mission featuring a lander with an integrated rover. Lander-and-rover designs are useful for delivering vehicles to a planetary surface.
LANDERS / ROVERSThese are some of the core concepts behind building spacecraft and planning missions in Kerbal Space Program.
Learn about apoapsis, periapsis, orbital velocity, inclination, and how changing velocity changes an orbit.
Understand rocket staging, thrust-to-weight ratio, fuel requirements, and delta-v budgets for missions.
Plan interplanetary transfers, match orbital planes, and learn how to rendezvous and dock spacecraft.
Design spacecraft for landing, surface exploration, and delivering rovers to other worlds.
Experiment with atmospheric lift, engine modes, fuel balance, and the transition into orbital flight.
Plan payload mass, propulsion, staging, trajectory corrections, and spacecraft requirements before launch.
