The FreeSpace 2 Source Code Project is the project of a group of programmers maintaining and enhancing the game engine for the space combat simulator FreeSpace 2, developed by Volition. The source code was released in 2002, and is used by several projects.
Space flight occurs beyond the Earth's atmosphere, and space flight simulators feature the ability to roll, pitch, and yaw. Space flight simulators use flight dynamics in a free environment; this free environment lets the spacecraft move within the three-dimensional coordinate system or the x, y, and z (applicate) axis.
The simulation is centered on a typical Space Shuttle mission to service a space station. Mission phases include Earth Lift-Off, Orbital Rendezvous, Approach and Alignment and Docking. [2] It was released for the Apple II in 1982, [2] receiving positive feedback from reviewers. [3]

A space flight simulator game or space simulator is a piece of software that simulates outer space and/or space flight. The umbrella definition of the term "space simulator" covers an extensive and highly varied range of software, from astronomical software to arcade games to astronaut / cosmonaut training programs.
The modern space flight game genre emerged at the point when home computers became sufficiently powerful to draw basic wireframe graphics in real-time. [1] The game Elite is widely considered to be the breakthrough game of the genre, [1] [2] [3] and as having successfully melded the "space trading" and flight sim genres. [4]

SpaceStationSim eschews the hard-core management focus and deserves merit as the first simulation of space station life, bladder-challenged astronauts and all. It is an immersive and endearing game that, although ultimately a bit shallow, those with a love of games and space should consider picking up.
