Our take on Space Station Continuum
The defining structure is a progression from one era of spaceflight to the next, with station milestones opening new technologies, equipment designs, launch vehicles, music, and research possibilities.
What is Space Station Continuum?
Manage an internationally funded station in low Earth orbit, drawing on real space history and imagined future developments.
The simulation covers power production, heat removal, water recycling, astronaut-led scientific experiments, finances, research, and station growth. Experiments generate money and research that can support new technologies and larger, more efficient facilities. Reaching milestones advances the station into later periods of spaceflight, opening further research possibilities, equipment designs, launch vehicles, music, and other content. Asteroid extraction and orbital hydroponics can reduce dependence on supply deliveries from Earth. Space Station Continuum is in Early Access, with less content than planned for the final version.
How Space Station Continuum plays
- 01Orbital station management
- The station operates in low Earth orbit and receives international funding.
- 02Resource systems
- Management includes electricity production, thermal control, and water reuse.
- 03Astronaut experiments
- Crew members perform scientific work that produces income and research.
- 04Era progression
- Milestones open later spaceflight periods with additional research, equipment, launch vehicles, and music.
- 05Orbital self-sufficiency
- Asteroid extraction and space-based hydroponics can reduce reliance on shipments from Earth.
