Space Shuttle Mission Simulator is a flight simulation video game for PC system. The game is developed by Exciting Simulations and published by PMDG Simulations. The game is designed to provide the experience and excitement of historic and current NASA Space Shuttle missions in extreme detail. The sim is the culmination of six years of research and development by a team of talented developers and dedicated space and simulation fans. From launch to on-orbit missions and landing, every button, command, and action replicates the authentic experience of mission sequences in beautiful detail. Operate switches, knobs and keyboards, control the RMS and enjoy the view from a fully equipped 3D Virtual Flight Deck. Watch the Shuttle launch from the KSC VIP location, Mission Control Center or experience it from the Captain's seat. Complete the SRB and External Tank separation, Orbital Insertion and prepare to perform the mission.
The simulator experience includes deployment, capture and service of satellites including the Hubble. The player can also assemble, dock and supply the International Space Station, perform Extra Vehicular Activities (EVA) from first-person or third-person point of view – getting as close and personal as possible to the tasks that Space Shuttle Astronauts perform in Space. Stop for a moment and enjoy the breathtaking, high-resolution view of Earth from Space – complete with 3D clouds. Watch the re-entry plasma engulfing the Space Shuttle while it traverses the upper layers of the Atmosphere and finally land at the Kennedy Space Center or Edwards AFB during day or night. If you've ever wondered what it feels to be in command of the Space Shuttle, perform "space walks" and dock with the International Space Station while enjoying the view of our beautiful planet at dawn and sunset from space, then Space Shuttle Mission Simulator will provide you with that unforgettable experience.

•Perform variable-difficulty historical missions from STS-1 (the maiden flight), through secret DoD missions, and up to the recent ISS missions.
•Beautifully rendered Space Shuttle 3D virtual cockpit, Shuttle, International Space Station, Hubble, satellites
•TrueEarth Global Satellite Imagery – licensed from TerraMetrics Inc. These are the same textures used by Google Earth.
•First Person View, including Space Walks – you cannot get any closer to the ISS or Hubble than that!
•Launch Control, Mission Control, Shuttle and Astronauts audio smart communications.
•Three difficulty modes: from Novice which leads the "astronaut" through the tasks with context arrows and full text subtitles, to "Read the Manual and Checklists Commander!"
•TrackIRTM Support in 3D Virtual Cockpit and first person view during EVA
•Multiple-Monitor support for Matrox TripleHead2GoTM and Nvidia nView TM
