The Space Shuttle Mission Simulator (tm) is the most exciting space shuttle simulator available today, designed to provide the experience and excitement of the NASA Space Shuttle missions in extreme detail. From launch to in-orbit missions and landing, every button, command, and action replicates the authentic experience of mission sequences in beautiful detail. Watch the Shuttle launch from the KSC VIP location or from the cockpit. Follow through the SRB and External Tank separation, Orbital Insertion and preparations for performing the mission. Operate switches, knobs and keyboards, control the RMS and enjoy the view of a fully equipped 3D Virtual Cockpit. Deploy, capture and service satellites including the Hubble, assemble, dock and supply the International Space Station, perform Extra Vehicular Activities (EVA) from first-person or third-person point of view - getting as close and personal as possible to the tasks that Space Shuttle Astronauts have been performing in Space. Stop for a moment and enjoy the breathtaking, high-resolution view of Earth from Space - complete with 3D clouds. Watch the re-entry plasma engulfing the Space Shuttle while it traverses through the upper layers of the Atmosphere and finally land the Shuttle at the Kennedy Space Center or Edwards AFB during day or night. Each mission can take several hours to complete but don't worry: the Space Shuttle Mission Simulator (tm) has several difficulty modes which allow complete novices to grasp the basics and move on to the most advanced levels. You can save any mission at any point and return to that tricky docking again. You can also fast-forward and complete week-long missions in only a couple of hours. We allow multiple Astronaut login options so you can save and share the experience and compare with your friends and family. Space Shuttle Mission Simulator (tm) is an unforgettable experience. If you've ever wondered how it feels to be in command of the Space Shuttle, to do "space walks" and float around the ISS - the biggest man-made structure in Space - enjoy the view of our beautiful planet at dawn and sunset from space, then you've come to the right place. Space Shuttle Mission Simulator (tm) will run smoothly with all options maximized, on most of the mainstream modern Gaming Personal Computers and laptops with Nvidia and ATI graphic accelerators.

Really bad news!

Dear customers! There's with great sorrow we have to announce that our co-founder, administrator, marketing director and, not to say the least, great friend Alexander Lorinczi has past away. He lost the several years long fight against a brain tumor. Our thoughts and condolences goes to his wife and two children. Hopefully this ends all speculations that has been going on in the forums. It was he's personal request to not make it public, and we hoped to the end that he could win the uneven battle. For that reason this page has not been updated for a long,long time. There has been more important things to take care of, as we hope you understand. Finally some important notes: -The reactivation of licenses has, and will always work as usual. Mail to support [at] space-shuttle-mission.com. -Users that have applied for forum membership and didnt get any mail in return MUST re-apply. -The development of SpaceShuttleMissionSimulator 2 will continue. It has never stopped acually. It was what Alex had wanted and it willsking when, since its a complete overhaul of the graphics system. But we can reveal as much as a new ISS model is 95% finished and a new model for the space-shuttle is 100% finished. And its NOT the space shuttle thats is shown in the SSMS2 video preview. More news to come soon. July 21 , 2011

Last Shuttle Landing

Today was a very sad day for us at the SSMS R&D. The last Space Shuttle just landed for the last time. History is upon us as the latest and greatest NASA manned Space Program comes to an end. Today our hearts go to all those thousadns of families affected by the STS program closure. Many thousands of NASA and USA employees will be fired, retired or re-assigned, as NASA loses tens of thousands of years of man-experience, knowledge, dedication and loyalty. Today wowledge, dedication and loyalty. Today we are all NASA and USA.

While waiting with anticipation for NASA to show everybody how true manned Space Exploration is done, at this end we renew our pledge to keep the Space Shuttle Legacy flame burning by adding new features, new missions and new releases to our Space Shuttle Mission Simulator. We plan not to disappoint you. July 8 , 2011
