Free Early Observations vehicle pack, plus future updates 🚀

Thank you to everyone who has played Mars Horizon, streamed it, chatted to us in our Discord, and reviewed our game. Your support means everything to us!

Our first free Mars Horizon update has now landed! We’re bringing the SPOT Satellite mission and Rockets Nippon 1 and Nippon 2 to our game! Read on to learn more about these and why we are excited to bring them to Mars Horizon.

All content updates will be coming to console as well, we will give updates about this when we can.


We have more exciting things planned for the future that we will announce here on Steam, across our social, in our Discord, and to our Mars Horizon mailing list once we have more information to share.

[h2]What are we adding and why?[/h2]
We're adding the SPOT, which is an earth observation satellite used by the European Space Agency (ESA). The purpose of the SPOT series of satellites is to improve the knowledge and management of Earth by exploring the planet's resources, detecting and forecasting phenomena involving climatology and oceanography, and monitoring human activities and natural phenomena. Since the launch of SPOT 1 in 1986, the series of satellites have been providing high-resolution, wide area optical imagery for the European Space Agency (ESA) which it shares with its partners around the world. It's a great payload to use in Mars Horizon for earth observation missions, and also gives an ESA playthrough a little more flavour!

We decided to add the Nippon 1 and Nippon 2 because they were so fundamental in what would become the Japanese Space Agency's earlier successes. These liquid propellant rockets assisted Japan in launching satellites from the 1970's all the way up to the present day, and are perfect for undertaking low payload weight request missions in Mars Horizon in a Japan playthrough.
