Burn Window is a cockpit-based orbital navigation game with no autopilot.

Take full manual control of a spacecraft and learn orbital mechanics by actually flying. Plan your maneuvers, align your orbit, and complete mission objectives before you run out of resources.

This is not an easy game. It requires patience, timing, and real orbital intuition. Every decision is a tradeoff. Optimize your burn window to save oxygen, or conserve oxygen at the cost of fuel efficiency.

Unlike most space games, Burn Window does not use patched conics. It runs on a full n-body gravity system with continuously evolving trajectories. There are no perfect predictions. There is only motion, dynamics, and the consequences of your actions.

Navigate the chaos and unpredictability of real orbital mechanics.
