Cosmonautica
by Chasing Carrots
Overview
Cosmonautica is a program developed by Chasing Carrots. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The software installer includes 65 files and is usually about 749.89 KB (767,885 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 (SP1). While about 57% of users of Cosmonautica come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Germany.
