What Makes Space Agency Stand Out
Build rockets, launch satellites, create a space station!
Do you want to build and fly your own space rockets?
Of course you do!
Are you a billionaire?
No…that makes it tricky.
Fortunately, there is a way for us non-billionaires to run our own space programme…Space Agency!
- Build rockets
- Launch satellites
- Create a space station
- Explore the solar system
This is a highly challenging and complex game. Only the most talented astronauts should attempt it.
Have you got the right stuff?
This Simulation game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We love this game and our daughter and son were super quiet, and we saw that they were playing space agency. Our son wants to be a nasa engineer when he grows up, so he learns with some rocket apps, including this! Our daughter says its satisfying. But our son has asked us this, what if space agency added the Falcon heavy by SpaceX? And now thats what we are wondering. Will you make it happen.
It helps to be into space, and simulators. But if you are, and youve already played Spaceflight Simulator, then this is your next game. Theyre very different games this is technically not as realistic, but that doesnt take from the fun.
Ive been playing this game nonstop for so many years! We wish they would return to more updates.
Why cant we find the space shuttle? In one of the photos it shows the space shuttle but we cant find it on the parts menu. Still a very great game.
So fun and also please update the game its been 4 years.
You should get it, its very fun you cant build your own rockets but you can make the Orion! Its easy to land and get to the moon but not liftoff and dock back. Its not boring. Its a simulator not a game.
Im a kid and we wanna build a station so we can refuel our rockets. BUT ITS SO HARD, its a great game and all but just make it easier for kids. And we could write down the coordinates of our space station! BECAUSE we HAD NO BATTERY. WHAT THE HECK.
We are a really big fan of SpaceX.
This is our favorite game! One question though, just about updates. We dont want to sound rude or impatient or anything, but we noticed that the last update was 2 year ago. Is the game just completed, or is there something else thats gonna be added eventually.
Idk why but we restored all our purchases but the mss was not there so we went to career and we did miss recuse but there was no mss option so we were like ohhhhhhhhhh we need to go to top secret 2 so we did and we completed it got a bronze and went back to mss rescue and it was not there so lets not hope it crashed into America and into the sea.
Ive been playing & replaying this game since it came out. For anyone interested in the Past, Present & Future of Space Flight, THIS IS IT! It doesnt get any better or any closer to the REAL THING, that is if youve gotthe Right Stuff! By far the best game Ive played since owning a Smart Phone & Tablet. Just wish theyd come out with something similar for the PS4 or 5. Im telling ya, youd have to pry us from playin! God Speed everyone.
The Best Game Ever. Im Just New To The Game. And we Love This Game. For Those Who Play SFS Kind Of, This Is Better.
Can you add The SLS explore upper stage.
We know you can get it after level 30 but you cannot construct it with really makes a lot of people sad but you could add it in a future update (soon) we all need it and we know 2138 has delta 10 (basically a space plane) but please add it the community will be very great full.
Idc about the money, this game is fun, dont listen to the 1 star/2 star builles. They are liars. This game is sooooooooo fun! We love it so freaking much.
Why cant we find the space shuttle.
When we were younger we had this game we always play on our mom phone then we downloaded it back in 2021 and we had restore purchases we got our data back we liked it we built the ISS and its fun worth it.
Ok so let us get this straight off the bat: we like this game, and we like the newer space agency 2138 as well. We full support the dev(s) cuz we know they dont have the highest budget or the largest amount of people, but we really wish this game could still get updated. We know that the updates for 2138 are probably nooleus main agenda at the moment, but itd still be nice for this game to get some attention. Thanks for reading this if you did, and keep in mind that we really like both games :).
This game is the original die-hard space game and Ive spent countless hours on it. DO NOT get the new 2138. Its absolutely terrible and they ruined every aspect of this original masterpiece. Space Agency, the original, will always be the best.
Note. Plz ad astronauts and plz ad more way to earn Quick launches.
This is a very good space game and worth the $2. One problem of it is that there are in-app purchases.
Hello there isnt much to say about this game other than that is is great. The only thing we as well as other (most likely) want more stuff!! This game is great and good job devs.
This game is great it challenges your creativity and it is really fun. However the game on level 12 is so time limited. Please adjust the time on mission 12.
So, we love this game. 5 star no matter what. However we think 1 thing is missing, reusable side boosters. It might be hard to add in, but we have 2 ideas. 1, both side boosters would be linked to each other, when 1 dose anything, the other mimics it. And 2, they can land individually. When the boosters separate, the player controls 1, when they land the first booster, they automatically switch to the other one. Either one would work in theory, we would love to see reusable side boosters. So those are our ideas, do you like the idea of reusable side boosters? We sure do, we would be cool to have them we would think.
We love the game but can you make it so you can launch a Shuttle? And add the part for the Starship and Super Heavy from SpaceX.
We love this game but we would like there to be a mechanical arm like the one attached to the ISS. On the ISS, Canadarm 2 helps space crafts dock to ports on the ISS. That would be a cool feature. Thank you for your consideration.
This game is fun but please add the BFR and the space shuttle so people dont have to do the levels until level 37. :).
We dont remember if this game costed money or not, but, to us, its quite clear that Ive forgotten due to playing the game to the point where we forgot about a lot of things. Thats how enjoyable it is. It strangely sucked us in for the next few hours. We havent noticed any bugs besides the ones that dont effect gameplay and that are mildly even noticeable. Gameplay was well done. Nice to see sandbox in there. Definitely needs more attention. 5 Stars.
We love this game we downloaded it on our older phones and got it recently and the only complaint we have is there is no Agena Target Vehicle for the Gemini capsule so once its in space there is nothing to do with it but other than that its perfect.
This game is great the micro transactions arent required and the games fun to play but we hope they and planetary bases cause we personally think it be cool but dont listen to the one stars just dab on them like the haters they are because this game is great and the space stations are the best but just remember to dab on the one star haters and the hired reviews trying to bring the game down this game is great and we love it.
We would like to have some boosters for the Nooleus X for the eagle 8 Heavy like the falcon heavy and a fairing plus the ability to auto land the boosters and main stage(because Im not very good at landing the first stage.
Ive had this game for YEARS, The only thing Id change is add the space shuttle.
Its a really good game with the rockets and everything. The only problem we have with this is that the Space Shuttle is not accessible in Sandbox mode. Also we wish that you can add a feature where you can see inside the rocket. That will be cool and also if you build a space station you could act like a astronaut inside of the station. Like you could see everything in the station. That will be cool and kind of realistic. Still a great game.
We like it, can you add the Saturn C8 Nova to premium parts pack, or ADD A SPACE SHUTTLE, but otherwise, GREAT GAME.
Can you please please switch up The missions A little because right now we cannot even finish level two!!! They should go by difficulty why is the Space station literally mission 2 we think it should be putting a person into space.
This game we bought a couple years ago and then we sadly exited our rocket ship phase. We found this game in the App Store in the for u, and we got so excited to play it again! We love this game so much.
Good game but somewhere sipping the line the Soyuz docking module disappeared and can no longer be added to the rockets.
Basically SFS but you cant crash (Sad) but has slightly different style and better career mode.
When a Nuclear Reactor tries to merge with a fuel silo, it wont connect to the farther parts.
We paid 2$ for this app and expected to have everything BUT NO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EXPANSION PACKS and make it so what an ad to clear a hard mission.
Could you pls add space shuttle parts pls.
This game is great. We would give it a five stars however our big station randomly reset when we wanted to build another space station far away. We get that this game hasnt been updated in a year but please fix it. We been losing multiple items because of this.
It is good so good we play it in school but one problem.ever time we press the ignition button in orbit it wont go may you please fix that.
This gamr is good but the missions nddd to be less difficult for example mission 12 its simply too hard try making something that a rocket can actually go without losing all of its fuel.
We love this game. It is just so awesome. We have loved space for 10 years now, and this game helped fuel that love. Sadly, the last update was a year ago. We understand that you have other projects to work on, but can you please add certain things like rovers or probes for other planets? SpaceAgency is your most popular project, Nooleus. Please add more. Thanks, That one 12 year old who likes space more than his own pet fish.
So we are still sad in the black and white SLS core stage isnt in the Game any more but we have an idea you can have both you can Keep the Orange core stage and add the black and white back and then you have both even though the black and white is canceled you can put it back for fun.
Ok, this game is so good that we played even without sleeping. One problem is would you just add more stages to the Saturn 1B and the Nooleus rocket.
This is a VERY good game, and well made, although we would not recommend buying the nooleus pack, it is not worth $4, it needs a big buff in order to be worth buying. Also we noticed a bug with the nooleus stage one rocket where when transitioning into the landing phase, the outside boosters sometimes glitch and stay on. Also, the solar panels in the pack are kinda pointless since it is hard to actually attach them to a space station, and once you do, you cant access the crew capsule. Hopefully these issues can be fixed. Other than that its a great game, just we dont thing the nooleus pack is worth buying at the moment. Instead we would recommend paying a dollar more to unlock all standard parts.
Good game although the orbital physics are weird and we cant seem to do level 8 its a good game.
We love this game, but the sandbox isnt a sandbox. You have to unlock the parts in the career. That defeats the purpose of a sandbox! We would love to rate this game 5 stars, but you really need to add an ACTUAL free sandbox mode. Cheers.
