Shuttle Commander is an accurate physics-based flight simulator experience, offering users the chance to take to the controls of NASA’s Discovery space shuttle and land it at a number of real-world landing sites, such as Kennedy Space Centre, White Sands Air Force Base and Edwards Air Force Base in an immersive virtual reality.

Players can experience the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope from the cockpit of the Discovery space shuttle in a real-time launch experience, using original NASA cockpit audio and mission data, as well as taking part in the deployment and servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope.  In addition, users are able to view some of the amazing solar system imagery from the Hubble Space Telescope which has been collecting data over the past 30 years from 568 kilometres above the Earth’s surface, changing our understanding of the universe.

The VR showcase experience will retail at £21.99 in the UK, €24.99 in the EU and US$24.99 in the US.  The Shuttle Commander PlayStation Launch Trailer is available to view at the following link: https://youtu.be/uHxmKkd5BYA
