Kessler Effect
Simulation
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Build a profitable satellite network, manage crowded orbits, deorbit spent hardware, and prevent debris from cascading into mission failure.
Take command of NovaLink’s orbital division and build a global communications satellite network before the sky becomes too crowded to survive.
In Kessler Effect, every launch is a tradeoff. Drag from the planet to place satellites into orbit, watch your projected launch cost, and grow your constellation to generate revenue. Higher orbits and crowded orbital bands cost more, while every active satellite adds income and operational pressure.
Satellites do not last forever. When they become spent, you’ll need to deorbit them before dead hardware clutters your network. Collisions create debris, debris raises risk, and unchecked growth can trigger the cascade that ends your run.
