This application offers users the opportunity to select from a wide variety of rocket prototypes and actual spacecraft. Among the options are popular models like the StarHopper, the massive Starship MK1, and the hover test of the Dragon 2 spacecraft. Users can watch dynamic launch sequences and recoveries, such as the Crew Dragon Demo Mission 2 departing the launch pad and the Falcon 9's first stage performing a precise landing. Additionally, the app displays impressive spacecraft like the Buran Orbiter and Energia Rocket, providing a diverse range of space exploration visuals.
Beyond just rockets, the app includes interactive and educational content related to space missions. Users can experience the Perseverance rover's landing and simulate the Sky-Crane maneuver during the critical entry, descent, and landing phases known as the "Last Minute of Terror." The application also allows users to have fun by firing a Raptor engine at their desk, mimicking engine sounds and effects, enhancing the immersive experience.
For customization, users can choose between Indoor and Outdoor modes based on their surroundings and the scale of the rocket launch they wish to simulate. They can apply filters to change the appearance of the environment, such as mimicking planetary colors, and select weather conditions like rain, thunderstorms, or snow to create different atmospheric scenarios. These features help build a realistic and tailored experience for each user.
Users can capture their favorite moments by taking photos or recording videos of their launches and then sharing them on social media with the hashtag #HoppAR. The app features a Rocket Launcher's Social Wall where shared content is displayed. To support ongoing development and the addition of new rockets, the app offers an auto-renewable subscription plan that unlocks all missions without limits during the subscription period. Alternatively, users can purchase individual missions with a non-expiring license. Please note that the app is independently developed and not affiliated with any official space agencies or companies.
