Missions & challenges

Each mission is a set of physics-anchored targets your design has to hit. Completing all targets applies a reward multiplier to your score. Browse by theme — every category maps to a real piece of the multi-planetary roadmap.

Δv budgets and decade-class operating life.

Efficiency & Longevity

Decade on Orbit

Operate at altitude where drag is low enough that you could credibly stay aloft for 10 years on the modelled station-keeping budget. ≥ 1500 km altitude and Δv (24 h) ≤ 0.06 m/s.

★★★★difficulty 4×1.6 reward
  • Altitude ≥ 1500 km
  • Δv (24 h) ≤ 0.06 m/s
  • Avg power ≥ 50 kW
Efficiency & Longevity

Drag-free decade

Up high where the air is thin — 1200 km+ so your design can plausibly survive a decade without reboost.

★★★★difficulty 4×1.5 reward
  • Altitude ≥ 1200 km
  • Avg power ≥ 50 kW
Efficiency & Longevity

Minimum Δv Lifetime

Station-keeping efficiency challenge. Hold a working orbit (altitude ≥ 700 km, eclipse fraction ≤ 35 %) on a 24-hour Δv budget below 0.05 m/s — the cheapest perigee in the catalogue.

★★★★difficulty 4×1.6 reward
  • Δv (24 h) ≤ 0.05 m/s
  • Altitude ≥ 700 km
  • Eclipse fraction ≤ 35 %
  • Avg power ≥ 40 kW
