NASA releases free game called Moonbase Alpha.

Videogamers can explore the lunar landscape with a free new online game released by the US space agency.

Moonbase Alpha allows players to join an exploration team in a settlement on the south pole of the moon.

In Moonbase alpha , you assume the exciting role of an astronaut working to further human expansion and research. Returning from a research expedition, you witness a meteorite impact that cripples the life support capability of the settlement.

With precious minutes ticking away, you and your team must repair the equipment in order to restore the oxygen settlement. To accomplish their mission, players of the first –person game use an interactive command center, lunar rover and mobile robotic repair units.

Proper use and optimal allocation of their available resources are key to the team’s overall success. NASA said, the game is designed to engage the educated students about agency technologies, jobs and the future of space exploration.

It can be played by one or up to six players. The game is available for free at MoonbaseAlphagame.com
