It is based on real life physics and technology. The characters in the game are [[Extraterrestrial life|aliens]] called “Kerbals” who are [[Astronaut|astronauts]]. They live in a fictional solar system loosely based on [[Solar System|our own]]. It has one star and seven planets as well as various moons. The player starts on the Earth-like planet Kerbin and can send [[Space probe|probes]] and Kerbals to other planets and moons. Players can also build technology like [[Satellite (artificial)|satellites]], [[Rover (space exploration)|rovers]], [[Space station|space stations]] and [[aircraft]]. The game has both a [[Sandbox video game|sandbox]] mode with unlimited resources and money, and a more realistic mode where funds and material are limited. KSP is available for [[PlayStation]], [[Xbox]] and [[Microsoft Windows]] platforms. The soundtrack is made up of [[Creative Commons|freely licensed]] tracks by Kevin Macleod plus a few original tracks. In 2023 a sequel came out, [[Kerbal Space Program 2]]. ==Setting== [[File:Ksp system.png|thumb|left|The star system in KSP. From center: the
