About Reentry - A Space Flight Simulator
Reentry is a realistic space-flight simulator that lets you operate authentic spacecraft systems while following structured missions. You create an astronaut, tackle historical and fictional flights, and advance by mastering increasingly sophisticated vehicle operations.
The game blends a learning environment—complete with a Space Flight Academy, detailed manuals, and step-by-step checklists—with realistic orbital mechanics. You can watch Earth's sunrise from orbit, navigate toward the Moon, and manage the systems that keep you alive while the planet moves beneath you.
01 / THE GUIDE
Highly Detailed Spacecraft Systems
Reentry puts you in direct contact with spacecraft subsystems such as guidance computers, propulsion, navigation, and life support. You interact with these systems directly, monitoring and controlling them as astronauts did.
The simulation emphasizes the hostile nature of space, demanding that you keep the vehicle's advanced machines operating correctly. Mastery of these systems is central to mission success.
- Check each subsystem's status regularly so problems are noticed early.
- Use the in-game manuals to understand what specific controls do.
02 / THE GUIDE
Historical and Fictional Missions
Players can complete both historically based and fictional missions, each designed to teach specific spacecraft operations. Progression comes from gaining experience as an astronaut and gradually mastering more complex systems.
Missions are structured to increase the difficulty of the systems you must manage over time, building a learning curve from basic operations toward goals like navigating toward the Moon.
- Begin with simpler missions to build confidence before attempting lunar objectives.
- Revisit earlier missions to reinforce procedures as new systems appear.
03 / THE GUIDE
Space Flight Academy and Checklists
The game includes a dedicated Space Flight Academy, detailed spacecraft manuals, and step-by-step checklists to guide players through procedures. Together these form a full learning environment aimed at both curious newcomers and experienced simulator players.
Checklists break complex operations into manageable steps, while manuals provide deeper technical insight, helping players learn and repeat procedures reliably.
- Follow the provided checklists during missions to avoid missing critical steps.
- Consult the manuals when a system behaves unexpectedly.
