Choosing a destination

Last updated: 2026-06-15

In the app, the mission planner scrubber runs from 15 minutes to three hours in five-minute steps. The app maps your pick to a destination tier:

• Suborbital Hop (15 min): quick warm-up. Free.
• Low Earth Orbit (25 min): the classic session. Free.
• Station Aurora (45 min): rendezvous and dock. Unlocks at Flight Specialist rank. Needs Premium because it's longer than 25 minutes.
• High Earth Orbit (60 min): parked 35,786 km up. Premium destination.
• Deep Space (90 min to 3 h): the longest tier. Premium destination. Picks from 90 minutes through three hours all fly the Deep Space profile.
