Space Docking

Fly a small service module using only short reaction-control thruster pulses. Translation and rotation are separate: drifting left is not fixed by rotating, and pointing at the port does not remove your existing velocity. To dock safely, arrive inside the capture corridor with low relative speed, a small lateral error and nearly matching orientation.

How to Play Space Docking

Use W and S or Up and Down Arrow for vertical thruster pulses. Use A and D or Left and Right Arrow for horizontal thruster pulses. Use Q and E to rotate the spacecraft. Velocity continues after you release the controls, so use opposite thrust to cancel existing motion. Approach the docking port slowly and keep relative speed, lateral offset, angle error and angular rate inside the safe limits. Hard impacts damage the hull and bounce the module away from the station. Complete all five docking missions while conserving fuel and avoiding collisions. Press P to pause, M for sound, F for fullscreen and R to restart the current mission.

About Space Docking

Space Docking is a single-player browser physics game about controlling a small spacecraft in zero gravity. Use reaction-control thrusters to change horizontal and vertical velocity while separate rotational thrusters control attitude. Successful docking requires matching the port position, orientation and relative velocity at the same time. Later missions introduce moving stations, cross-track drift, rotated docking ports and tighter fuel limits.
