About Discovering Space 2

A breath-taking space exploration experience in Virtual Reality



Compatible with HTC Vive, Oculus CV1 and DK2.

Discovering Space 2 is all about exploration. There’s no action, shooting or explosions, just sightseeing, discovery and relaxation on an epic scale.

Calming, wondrous and adventurous.
  • Take control of your ship, or follow a tour, and immerse yourself in a journey through the Solar System.
  • Feel the awesomeness and remoteness of deep space.
  • Experience the mood and atmosphere of worlds far away from home.
  • Explore at your own pace, and learn about what you see.
  • Come back with a new sense of amazement of what is out there.


Built from the ground up for VR, you have a small space ship and the entire Solar System to explore.

The end result is an experience that conveys the scale, awe and feeling of planetary exploration, in a fully immersive way. You really feel like you are there, and it is at times breath-taking. You can travel vast distances, view the planets (and their moons) from afar, execute some close fly-bys and plunge through their atmosphere down to the surface. Along the way you can listen to on-board commentary that adjusts its content depending on whether you take your time, or just dive straight in.

Key Features
  • Vast expanse of the Solar System to explore.
  • Easy to use tour mode.
  • Easy to use flight controls and navigation.
  • Seamless and continuous travel from deep space down to the planetary surfaces.
  • Planets modelled to true scale.
  • Planets rendered using custom shaders that go beyond simple texture mapping.
  • Procedurally generated terrain and procedural and multi-layered textures to enhance the planet surfaces.
  • Planetary atmospheres enclothe the planets, providing striking sunrise and sunset vistas and re-entry effects.
  • Simple navigation system allows you to easily fly to your desired target destination.
  • Jump gates / hyperspace to allow quick jump to distant systems.
  • Near speed of light effects – Red shift, view contraction and “headlight”
  • Capture your view with in-game snapshots at the touch of a button.


Fly your ship with either an xbox / gamepad style controller, or "use the force" with HTC Vive wands.

Note: Oculus touch controller not yet fully supported

Immersive and educational... a must have for space fans.
Recommended Jun 25, 2023
The tours are well done.... The complaints on the Planets not showing up on various headsets can be fixed by going here.. This Open Source utility (PseudoVive) can be used for your headset to be identified as a regular Vive to SteamVR applications. It works great on my Valve Index. https://github.com/schellingb/PseudoVive

I am very impressed with this product, not really a game but a space simulator ? very good renditions of the planets. Plenty of choice to alter settings such as graphics, audio, passengers, to make it more personal. To an astronomy enthusiast such as myself I find Discovering Space to be a real treat, actually able to visit and orbit the planets, even land on the moon ! and if you wish ? can be accompanied by music for each planet, turn it on or of ? it gives a you an understanding of the true size of our solar system and distance between planets. I consider this product to be an excellent addition to my Oculus quest, and hope there will be updates to follow.
Not recommended Apr 6, 2022
I truly loved this game so much when it first came out. It was by far one of the best VR games for space exploration, but then one day no planets or stars would render. They were all gone, including even earth! So sad, no updates, just a great game that died too early for no reason.

Nice job on designing! i have been a space fan since i was 3 years old- i highly recommend this game if you like space!
