While Kerbal Space Program originally launched as a digital PC game, the title's growing popularity has allowed it to reach a wider variety of platforms. Kerbal Space Program has players join a space program run by small, cartoonish green aliens and tasks them with constructing operational space vehicles to complete missions. The quirky space flight simulation game's first public release came in 2011, and since then Squad has continued to improve and expand the popular title. After a decade of support, developer Squad is officially ending development and updates for Kerbal Space Program.
