Space Missions 2048

What is Space Missions 2048?

Space Missions 2048 is a cosmic twist on the classic 2048 puzzle game! Instead of numbers, you'll merge space missions that have shaped humanity's exploration of the stars. The goal? Reach the iconic Apollo 11 mission at tile 2048 and unlock other historic space missions beyond!

How to Play

• Use your arrow keys on a computer or swipe on a mobile or tablet screen to move all the tiles in one of the four directions. Every move shifts all the tiles at once, so think carefully before swiping!
• Merge two tiles with the same space mission to unlock the next mission in the timeline. Each merge represents a step forward in space exploration, from early rockets to iconic missions.
• Your main goal is to reach the Apollo 11 tile, which represents the legendary 1969 Moon landing. Reaching this tile marks a big achievement in the game!
• Even after reaching Apollo 11, the game doesn’t stop. Keep merging tiles to unlock even more advanced missions, progressing through the space timeline all the way up to the 65536 tile. Challenge yourself to see how far you can go!

Main Tile Progression

Tile	Mission	Info
2		The first artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union, weighing 83.6 kg. Its radio signals were received worldwide, sparking the space race and global interest in space exploration.
4		First human-made object to impact the Moon. The mission demonstrated precise trajectory control and advanced the Soviet Union’s lunar exploration program.
8		Carried Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space, completing one orbit around Earth. The flight lasted 108 minutes and proved human survival in space was possible.
16		NASA's probe sent to explore the outer planets. It captured detailed images of Jupiter and Saturn and is now in interstellar space, continuing to send data back to Earth.
32		Orbits Earth providing high-resolution images of the universe. Hubble helped determine the rate of expansion of the universe and revealed the existence of thousands of galaxies in deep space.
64		Operates as a joint laboratory in microgravity. It allows long-term research in science, technology, medicine, and Earth observation, orbiting at roughly 408 km above Earth.
128		Robotic rover exploring Mars' Gale Crater, analyzing rock samples and atmospheric conditions. Its findings suggest Mars once had conditions suitable for microbial life.
256		Infrared space telescope designed to observe the first galaxies and study exoplanets' atmospheres. JWST offers the deepest and clearest views of the cosmos to date.
512		Exploring Mars' Jezero Crater, searching for biosignatures, collecting samples for potential return to Earth, and testing technology for future human exploration.
1024		Uncrewed test mission for NASA's Artemis program, aiming to establish sustainable human presence on the Moon and pave the way for future lunar landings with astronauts.
2048		The mission that first landed humans on the Moon, allowing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to walk its surface while Michael Collins orbited above, a turning point in space exploration history.
