Space Shuttle is a simulation game in which you are the pilot of the space shuttle Discovery. Your goal is to launch Discovery, establish orbit around the Earth, open the cargo bay doors and retrieve a satellite for repair, and finally land Discovery successfully, all while using as little fuel as possible. Each time the mission is completed, the game will be replayed at a higher difficulty level (at higher difficulty levels the satellite has a more erratic flight path). The game is played from a first-person perspective in the cockpit of the space shuttle, where you can control everything from the shuttle engines to the cargo bay doors. At the end of the game you get a ranking based on the number of successful docking and the amount of fuel used. In addition to the full flight mode, two simpler game variants (self-simulator mode and simulator mode) are included. The self-simulator mode is the simplest; the computer will control the flight (you can take over at any time you want) and the controls are simplified. The simulator mode is closer to the full game, but you have an unlimited amount of fuel, so there is no time pressure, and the computer will help you compensate for inaccurate maneuvers.
