Welcome to the NASA Lunar Electric Rover (LER) Simulator. You don’t need a driver’s license, but you still need to buckle up as the LER Simulator gives you a glimpse of what it might be like to support the activities of a functioning Lunar Outpost. Get busy. You never know if your skills here will become a major part of the NASA Astronaut application process in the future.

Pros and cons of NASA Lunar Electric Rover Simulator app for iPhone and iPad

NASA Lunar Electric Rover Simulator app good for

Really delicious 3D models (though a white house backdrop does feel a bit awkward, for all mankind), and a fun little game that provides a simulation of the rover driving experience with little data or real sense of purpose.
Great job on the iPhone app! I thought the first NASA app was really cool but this one is really awesome. Its very challenging to complete the mission on the hardest level. Definitely recommend this FREE app to every space fan and game lover. I recommend in the next update that you use the built in accelerometer to drive the rover. BTW, NASA EDGE is really cool too!
AWESOME FREE APP! Really cool game, and GREAT imagry! Fun to play, with super easy controls, also very informative. THANKS!!
So happy to finally see this! Been a long time coming - GREAT WORK TEAM! I am so excited now that I can share this with everyone I know, virtually too! Looks even better now that its offical! GOD SPEED, fellas!
Very cool app. Not only fun to play but educational too! Kids should love this one.
Might as well live the dream virtually than be the bold explorers we were meant to be! :(

Some bad moments

Is this thing REALLY from NASA? Its more like a weekend project targeting third grade kids. 80s style car games, always looking from the top. It may not be from NASA though The website URL is missing
They add obectives that are simple and pointless for a simulator and it should be in 3D not something from the 90s top down simpleness.
You drive to 7 different stations on a pretty small map. Each station gives you info about some moon base habitat/structure. Thats it. If u go to all 7, you unlock arcade mode, which is just as simple with the exact same objectives as the non-arcade mode. This app would b more fun if u could CONSTRUCT ur own moon base with the structures that NASA has developed IMHO. This is a very simple, mostly educational game that I tired of quickly. I think with some tweeks it could b a lot more fun.
Its so boring cuz u have this smalllittle map and you have to drive around and when u win tht station they just give u some stupid facts... Make the friggen map bigger and make there be obstacles for petes sake
The two stars are for coming to iOS. As a game, its extremely limited. All text is far too small and cant be resized. Audio plays at full volume (and cant be reduced during the intro) even when the phone switch is set to off. The red marker for the rover can hardly be seen on the map. In short, I hope the game is here only to demonstrate that theyll be developing for Apple devices, as it is far from being complete or satisfying. I sure hope my tax dollars arent paying for junk like this.
This app was truly amazing when it launched. It still is, but it is not optimized for the Retina Display or anything! Two years without an update...
