Description
After landing on a celestial body, a variety of data collecting equipment can now be deployed to conduct scientific experiments. While gathering that data, newly added surface features have been scattered across the solar system, which players will need to go out in search of to either scan or bring back to Kerbin for further examination.
Additionally, robotic parts are being added! A hinge, piston, rotor, and rotational servo in various sizes will be accessible to massively alter the possibilities of players’ crafts. These all operate under realistic physics with real forces and torque, electricity consumption, and even motor mass.
- Deployed Science: Scientific experiments have always gone hand-in-hand with space exploration and are now becoming an even greater focus in KSP. Players will be able to utilize a storage container in their craft that can hold various pieces of science equipment. Upon reaching their destination, players will need to deploy the equipment, which includes a central station, booster antenna, solar panel, weather station, active seismometer, RTG, goo observation, and ion detector. These pieces of equipment must be left out for a period of time to fully collect all of the scientific data and relay it back to Kerbin. The active seismometer in particular asks players to deliberately crash things into a celestial body to gather seismic data!
- Surface Features: A major addition with Breaking Ground is found on the celestial bodies scattered throughout the solar system. Meteors, craters, rock outcroppings, cryovolcanoes and more now populate the landscape. While smaller surface features can be transported back to KSC by Kerbals themselves, larger ones provide a greater challenge and will require Kerbals to venture out in rovers or send unmanned rovers. By attaching the new robotic rover arm to their rovers, players can scan the larger surface features to collect important scientific data.
- Robotic Parts: Long-requested robotics parts will now be available for use in KSP! A hinge, piston, rotor, and rotational servo in various sizes will allow players to tackle new challenge as well as enhance the creativity of their crafts. To coincide with these new parts, the addition of a robotics controller system will let players coordinate the behavior of all the different parts on their craft.
- A New Suit: Of course, the ever-important Kerbal fashion can never be forgotten. With Breaking Ground players will receive a new suit that is futuristic in aesthetic and tied to the science-focus of this expansion.
Take on new challenges with a breadth of added tools and parts in KSP’s second expansion, Breaking Ground. Weather stations, solar panels, and more allow players to collect science over time, while they venture out to research mysterious surface features such as cryovolcanoes with new robotic parts.

About Kerbal Space Program
Kerbal Space Program is a space flight simulation game developed by Squad and published by Private Division. The first public version was released digitally in June 2011, before joining Steam Early Access in March 2013 and coming out of beta on April 27, 2015. Take-Two Interactive acquired the game in May 2017, later publishing it under Private Division, its label for supporting mid-sized development studios.
Players take charge of a space program operated by Kerbals, small green humanoid aliens who have built a fully functional spaceport called the Kerbal Space Center on their home planet, Kerbin. The game's orbital physics engine is genuinely realistic, supporting real-world maneuvers like Hohmann transfer orbits and orbital rendezvous. Players assemble spacecraft from a library of parts, each affecting how a design performs, then launch and pilot it through Kerbin's atmosphere and beyond, with the ever-present possibility that a poorly designed rocket simply falls apart on the pad.
Three gameplay modes are available. Science Mode has players run experiments to unlock new technology. Career Mode adds the full administrative layer, covering construction, funding, strategy, and upgrades across the whole program. Sandbox strips all of that away, giving players immediate access to every part and piece of technology in the game to build whatever they can imagine. Kerbal astronauts, referred to as kerbonauts, can leave their spacecraft on extravehicular activities, collect science, plant flags, and repair damaged vessels while suited up.
Many parts in the game are directly inspired by real spacecraft hardware, including analogues of Sputnik 1, the Apollo command module, and the RS-25 engine. The game supports recreating actual historical missions, from Apollo moon landings to the Curiosity rover and the International Space Station, and its community has kept pace with real-world spaceflight news, including recreations of NASA's Artemis II mission. Two expansions were released for the base game: Making History in March 2018 and Breaking Ground in May 2019, adding new mission-building tools, servos, pistons, and deployable science experiments.
Kerbal Space Program has one of the most active modding communities in PC gaming, with community-made additions covering everything from new parts to improved physics and multiplayer, some of which have been officially adopted into the base game over time. Kerbal Space Program holds a Metacritic score of 88 and an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam.

No. The standard purchase includes the base game only. The Making History and Breaking Ground expansions are sold separately or as part of bundles that combine the base game with both expansions.
The game has a genuine learning curve since it relies on real orbital mechanics rather than simplified arcade physics. Career Mode and Science Mode ease players into the fundamentals gradually, and a large community of guides, tutorials, and wiki resources exists to help newcomers understand the basics of orbital flight.
Yes. Kerbal Space Program has extensive mod support through the Steam Workshop and third-party mod managers, with community-made content ranging from new parts and improved visuals to entirely new planetary systems and multiplayer functionality.
