Work together and strategise to complete flight stages, overcome obstacles, repair the spacecraft, and keep communication clear. Its the team that determines if the mission SUCCEEDS or FAILS. One player takes on the role of Mission Control on Earth, while the other players are Astronauts up in the command module. Astronauts must guide their craft through multiple flight stages by maintaining their flight systems including life support, power, comms, and flight control by rolling dice and assigning them to their tasks.

In addition, Astronauts are charged with completing experiments by rolling dice and assigning them to their experiment, but they dont have all the information that they need to complete them. Mission Control can spend tokens to relay key pieces of information to the Astronauts that they need to complete their tasks or to aid the Astronauts by providing bonuses to their dice or boosting systems. Mission Control also tracks the flight and experiment progress on the ground via a panel of sliders. Failure to maintain flight systems can cause disasters like comm failures preventing Mission Control and the Astronauts from talking to each other.
