In the game, players direct the space program of a species of green humanoid aliens known as Kerbals. The game features a pseudorealistic orbital physics engine, allowing for various real-life orbital maneuvers such as Hohmann transfer orbits and orbital rendezvous.
The first public version was released digitally on Squad's Kerbal Space Program storefront on 24 June 2011, and joined Steam's early access program on 20 March 2013. The game was released out of beta on 27 April 2015. Kerbal Space Program has support for user-created mods that add new features, such as interstellar travel, improved physics, new parts, and multiplayer. Popular mods have received support and inclusion in the game by Squad. The game has garnered commendation from spaceflight industry figures such as NASA, ESA, science communicator Scott Manley, former ULA CEO Tory Bruno, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck.
