About
Reentry is a realistic space flight simulation based on NASA's historic Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Players must master complex spacecraft systems and procedures to fly historical missions, from launch to orbit, and critical procedures like orbital rendezvous and lunar landings.
Experience the intense challenges faced by early astronauts. You start by learning the basics of space navigation and mechanics in the Mercury Program's single-man capsule. Progress through the two-man Gemini missions focusing on orbital maneuvers and docking, leading up to the monumental three-man Apollo missions aiming for the Moon. Every panel, switch, and system is accurately modeled, demanding high precision and adherence to real-world checklists.
Features
- Authentic simulation of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft.
- Highly detailed cockpits with fully interactive systems and switches.
- Realistic orbital mechanics and physics modeling based on historic NASA documentation.
- Comprehensive training missions to teach navigation, procedures, and spacecraft control.
- Career mode allowing players to progress through the historical timeline of US space exploration.
- Mission Editor allowing custom mission creation and sharing.
Ratings
User Reviews
- An absolute must-have for space and simulation enthusiasts. The level of detail in the Apollo mission simulation is staggering. Requires patience, but deeply rewarding.
- Reentry provides an unparalleled experience in space flight simulation. Learning the complex checklists feels like earning a real pilot's license. Top quality educational fun.
- If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be an astronaut in the 60s, this is the game. The physics engine is fantastic and the dedication to realism is admirable.
