Orbital Station Simulator: Survive 30 Days Running a Deep-Space Outpost
Running a space station is less about heroics and more about spreadsheets that will kill you if you ignore them. Orbital Station Simulator leans all the way into that idea: you’re not piloting anything or fighting aliens — you’re keeping a fragile system alive for 30 days straight.
The core loop
Every station has three things fighting for your attention at once:
- Power — generate and distribute enough to keep every system running
- Life support — oxygen, temperature, and the systems your crew actually depends on
- Crew — morale, assignments, and keeping people alive when something goes wrong
Random events show up to test whatever you’ve under-prioritized — a power surge, a life support fault, a crew crisis — and how you triage them determines whether you make it to certification on day 30 or not.
Key features
- A genuine resource-management sim with three interlocking systems to balance
- Random events keep every run different — no two playthroughs go the same way
- A clear win condition: survive and earn certification by day 30
- Free to play in the browser, with desktop and mobile builds available too
