Are we Kitten Space Agency yet?
🎉 Yes!, Pre-alpha since 14th November 2025 🎉
Kitten Space Agency reached its first public pre-alpha milestone on
14th November 2025. Work continues toward wider feature completeness by the KSA dev team and modders.
Feature list is speculative, entirely unofficial and not based on any real roadmap.
Progress tracking and status indicators are a community interpretation, not official statements.
Functional. A mod adds multi-pass Hohmann burn splitting and lets the planner target interstellar comets on hyperbolic orbits (Oumuamua, 2I/Borisov, 3I/ATLAS).

Stock Transfer Planner can create circularize burns (apoapsis or periapsis); no stock auto-rendezvous yet. A mod adds dedicated plan types the stock planner lacks: set apoapsis or periapsis to a target altitude, match a target's orbital plane, or set an absolute inclination, each as a single or multi-pass burn.

Encounter/flyby planning
Stock Transfer Planner computes encounters via a Lambert solver and patched conics; flyby and intercept data shown on the porkchop plot.

Realistic solar system (RSS like)
A real solar system is used during development. Briar Thrain & tomservo are working on a tool that
collects real astronomical data (NASA Horizons) and converts it to KSA format

Customizable keybinds
Functional
Controller support
Gamepad axes are read for the free-camera. No flight-control binding or controller settings UI yet. Forums and Discord have some info about controller profiles and bindings
Minor bodies (Phobos, Deimos) and some dwarf-scale objects exist; no dedicated dwarf-planet class. Some modders working on this.

Already present but probably WIP.
Planetary rings
Implemented on Saturn with volumetric rendering and a dedicated ring renderer. Some modders working on more.
Tidal locking
Bodies marked tidally locked rotate at their orbital period (Luna, Phobos, Deimos, Pan, etc.).
