Now on Steam

Explore the Universe 2175

The year is 2175 and the frontier is open. Command your own ship in a living galaxy built on real orbital mechanics — the same physics running in the simulations on this site. Wishlist it on Steam, then create a free account to follow development and fly with the first wave of pilots.

Every wishlist moves the launch algorithm — if the simulations on this site light you up, this is the button that funds more of them.

The sandbox

Parker's Physics

Home of the Earth simulation: a living planet running real thermospheric physics — the same engine that forecasts satellite drag through geomagnetic storms. Spin the whole planet, kick a storm at it, and watch real orbits respond in your browser. No install, no login.

This is the engine room behind Explore the Universe 2175 — and it's free to fly.
