The Kessler Problem

Earth's orbit is filling up! Some might say we're literally ...running out of space...

Your objective is to put as many satellites as possible into orbit whilst avoiding collisions.

Your performance is scored on how many satellites you can get orbiting at once. See how you compare to everyone else who has played on the online scoreboard!

Controls:

[A][D] for changing the direction to send your satellite into orbit. 

[Left Click] and grab will move the camera around earth (arrow keys also function as camera movement).

[Mouse Scroll] To Zoom.

Hold [Space] to increase launch power (how large of an orbit your satellite will have). 

Release [Space] to launch.

[F] Toggle display of Satellite Trajectories

Tips & Tricks:

Satellites orbiting at the same height will have the same speed, and orbital period.

Holding Space past maximum launch power will start to decrease launch power
