Astronaut Spacewalk HD is the iPad optimised and improved version of the iPhone game.
Astronaut Spacewalk is a highly realistic astronaut jetpack simulator. Fly from the Space Shuttle cargo bay to several satellites, align to position to make repairs and dock back in the Shuttle.
Enjoy the majestic views of earth from Space in 20 daring missions, and work on detailed satellites like the Hubble telescope, and stations like MIR and Skylab.
Pretty to look at but difficult to master. Flying in space is not like flying a plane. A small wrong movement can send you in a collision path and the stress of trying to recover while keeping the valuable electricity and fuel resources.
Challenge yourself to master Inertial Flight in space where there is no up or down and there is nowhere to hang on to if you loose control.
The difference between life and death is the oxygen in your suit and the nitrogen in your jetpack
It might be beautiful but who said that floating in space was easy?
This iPad version features a completely new front end, new button layout, improved physics, and new music.
This is the format that the game needed to be played at and finally is here.

Really cool
Master Gamer 6969
I never played the iPhone version, but I wanted to try this iPad version when it became available. The graphics are really well done. The Space Shuttle is rendered beautifully, and the Earth glides by below you as you do your mission. It all adds to a terrific atmosphere as a shuttle astronaut. The sounds of NASA controllers which play in the background add an authentic feel to this simulation. Please add a way to reorient the screen to which ever way I'm holding my iPad. I like my headphone jack on the right side. All games should be able to be played in any direction. Great.
Happy Spacegiving!

Being calm and alone in space is good when you know you can return to mother earth at any time. This is all kid's wish also mine. I can feel the realistic even not know if it's definitely true, yet thanks for letting me go out and play :D
Have you got the right stuff?

Find out with this challenging simulation! Well done - very immersive. The mission control radio chatter adds a great deal of realism to the tasks presented.
Misleading description, iPad 2+ only
apostle
The description on the left states that it works on any iPad running iOS 4.3 or later. The description on top says iPad 2 and later only. I'm on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1. The game loads fine and I can click through the settings. Selecting a mission and clicking on Launch causes the game to crash. Not complaining, just passing that on. :)
Doesn't work on iPad 1

The requirements say that I need a iPad with iOS 4.3 or later but I'm running ios5.1.1 and it doesn't work. Then in the description says I need a iPad 2 or later. I can get to the screen that says launch and then when I tap launch, it crashes.
Boring and Frustrating

A decent snippet of Space Simulator from the 90's, however each mission just drags on and on. The placement of the control buttons are frustrating and totally counter-intuitive.
