Fun fact: this is almost exactly two years after we posted our initial announcement trailer, which released on April 26th 2024.

| Major update | Update 1.3.2 | A Lick of Paint As most of you already know we have been really busy working on SimplePlanes 2 but we managed to find some time to bring you a small-ish update to fix some concerning bugs we had been seeing affecting career, and while we were at it, spice things up a bit with a visual refresh, new celestial bodies and big performance improvements. It's no secret some of the contracts added in 1.3 have been tec… | — | |
| Major update | Update 1.3 | STRANDED It's been a while since we started this beta! We had to deal with some bureaucratic hiccups we weren't expecting but we are finally on the clear :D Now onto what comes with 1.3, which is actually a lot. As an ice breaker, something that can be often missed: With 1.3 we are bringing some big performance improvements, which will especially benefit large part count crafts. We have seen some cases… | — | |
| Major update | Update 1.2 As you may have already seen, we have been collaborating with Linx to help him port his KSP mod "Parallax" into JNO . The mod is available here and it brings some jaw dropping visual enhancements to the game. The two main areas where we have focused are the rocket engine exhausts and the procedural wings but there are more changes and improvements you can find in the Release Notes . NEW EXHAUST… | — | |
| Major update | UPDATE 1.1 | Spin Me Round When 1.0 came out there were two clear problems with the progression of Career mode: planes going from gliders to jet engines and crew not being relevant. We took our time because we wanted to get things right, and I think you will like what the result is. We like things being procedural, giving you as much flexibility as possible when building the wildest of creations. Who would've guessed, pr… | — | |
| Major update | A Juicy Update w/ ESA For the last month you may have noticed we have been acting a bit weird. We said we were going to go straight to 1.1 with the propellers and more contracts, but we got a bit sidetracked... Today we can finally talk about it, a collaboration with the European Space Agency! We have been in talks with ESA to include JUICE in the game. The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer is the first European mission to… | 10956378 | |
| In-game event | Version 1.0.9 - Greatly improved the user experience in Map View This update has greatly improved the user experience in Map View. Among many things, setting up planned burns to rendezvous with other crafts and doing transfer orbits to other planets has been made a lot easier. But that's not all, there are a whole lot of other bug fixes, tweaks, and improvements as well. · Upgraded to Unity 2021.3.19f1. · Several UX enhancements to Map View, including font c… | — | |

| In-game event | New update is out with many tweaks and bug fixes! It has been two weeks since we launched Juno: New Origins and we have been overwhelmed by the support and excitement from so many new players. Our team has been working hard to address the feedback we have received, and we've just released update v1.0.6 that resolves several reported issues. The full release notes are here . We're dedicated to improving the game and we appreciate your support a… | — | |
| News | Juno: New Origins has officially left Early Access on Steam! We are thrilled to announce that Juno: New Origins has hit version 1.0 and has officially left Early Access on Steam! After six years of development, the game has grown from a simple rocket simulator to a comprehensive aerospace sandbox, where players can bring to life anything they can imagine - from rockets, airplanes, and cars to entire planets. Here's the launch trailer: This update include… | — | |
| Community | It's time for a new name After six years of hard work and commitment, what began as a simple rocket simulator has become a sophisticated aerospace sandbox in which you can bring to life anything you can imagine - from rockets, airplanes, and cars to entire planets. Over time, the more we added, the more SimpleRockets 2 outgrew its name. With much consideration we have decided to change the name to "Juno: New Origins" -… | — | |
| News | Career Mode is Now Available for Beta Testing! Cover Image Credit: @RocketLover2333 We have been working for what feels like an eternity but is more like a year and a half on Career mode for SimpleRockets 2. We changed routes multiple times until we found something that felt like it made sense for the game. You may have already enjoyed some of the things we added as we progressed, but we had to keep a lot of stuff hidden until now, which wa… | — | |
| Game update | Update notes for Version 0.9.924 We just rolled out a smallish update to squash some pesky bugs introduced in the huge Last Dab update . TWEAKS · Show list of crew members for selected craft in the in Active Crafts list. · Added support for setting the lock direction through vizzy on crafts that are loaded but not under the player's control · Substantially increased the strength of the night vision camera effect BUG FIXES · Fi… | 9840466 | |
| Major update | Update 0.9.923 - The Last Dab 6 years. It's easy to forget how long that is. What was your age in 2016? What were you doing? It's been almost six and a half years since development for SR2 started, almost 5 since the birth of this website, and 4 since the closed beta. It's been a long ride, and the game has evolved a lot, looking back at the first open beta version it's hard to recognize the game. And here we are, on our la… | — | |
| Major update | Update 0.9.900 - It's About Time! New parts are probably as fun for us to create as they are for you to create with, but sometimes it makes sense to go back to the basics and re-evaluate some of the long-standing feedback that's been voiced by the community over the years. With career mode in the making, we decided it was about time to do these necessary tweaks for the game to feel as good as possible on the 1.0 release, having… | — | |
| Esports | SimplePlanes VR is now available After far too many late nights of caffeine-infused coding and 3D modeling, we are proud to present SimplePlanes VR . Strap a VR headset to your face and grab the stick and throttle in front of you to fly. Flip switches, push buttons, crank levers, slide throttles, and so much more. Download community-made aircraft without leaving the comfort of your VR headset. SimplePlanes VR is the most featu… | — | |
| In-game event | New Update - v0.9.801 Even with the development of SimplePlanes VR going on we've managed to find some time to work on SimpleRockets 2, mainly polishing the game and adding some of the most wanted features that were simple enough for us to get in time. The list of bugs fixed this time is quite large, but I think you'll especially appreciate the improvements in the aerodynamics physics, getting rid of some problems w… | — | |
| In-game event | Desert Base Update The new update is now live on Steam and is rolling out to Google Play and iOS. It includes a new desert base, fuselage smoothing, several enhancements to Planet Studio, among other things. The new desert base has two runways, several hangars, towers, a guard shack, and more. The new bases have some new toys to play with as well. Now bases can support rigid bodies. FEATURES · Added new desert ba… | — | |
| Game update | Small Update - v0.9.616 We just released a small update that fixes some of the bugs that snuck in on the Planet Studio update . Here are the changes: · Updated the stock Juno System to version 2.2, with a redesign of Brigo, the first Droo moon · You can now target your craft's parent planets, although no encounter prediction will be shown (since that doesn't make sense). · There is now a maximum number of encounters c… | — | |
| Major update | Planet Studio Update We did plan to get this update out sooner, but we fell into the trap of "let's just add this one last thing." Before we knew it, Kevin and Pedro had completely redesigned the Droo Space Center with a new raised launch pad, sixteen hangars, new runways, taxiways, a vehicle assembly building, dock, and a bunch of other new stuff. Planet Studio has been retooled to allow building up structures usi… | — | |
| Community | Sneak Peek - Planet Studio and a Rebuilt and Expanded Stock Planetary System We are still working hard on Planet Studio. It's taking every ounce of our souls to get this thing ready for player consumption, but we are getting closer and we hope to release it in early December. After that, we will focus on the Career Mode as we work toward leaving early access on Steam next year. Planet Studio has been a behemoth project and it should be since it sets out to allow the pla… | — | |
| Major update | Taking Control Update - v0.9.5 The update is finally done! Five new space capsules, a jet cockpit with a glass canopy, part transparency support, animated waves, a programmable multi-function display part, a new label part, and so much more. Thank you for your patience with this update. This might be our biggest update yet with over five months of development and nearly 2,000 commits to our repo. This update also took longer… | — | |
| In-game event | Update 0.9.4 - Navball The new update is now available. The key new feature is the new FDAI (Flight Director Attitude Indicator), also known as a navball. Nicky worked this feature and he did a great job. The navball supports all the things you would expect along with maybe a few things you wouldn't expect. The default view gives you crucial attitude information and a view of the relevant markers such as velocity pro… | — | |
| In-game event | Custom Planetary Systems and Celestial Bodies Official support for downloadable custom planetary systems is here! The website has been updated with pages to allow you to view and download celestial bodies and planetary systems that players have created and uploaded. When starting a new sandbox, you now have the option to select which planetary system to use. This update is our first big step on the path to implementing 'Planet Studio', whi… | — | |
| Major update | Space Sailors Update You've done it. Thanks to all the meticulous building, test launches, orbital insertions, and suicide burns, you've managed to land a giant hunk of metal on another planet. What do you do now? Wonder no more. Now you can jump out of the command pod and start exploring the new world in your sleek space-suit. Before venturing off, you may want to take a moment at the base of the grand vessel you'… | — |
