from Squad
Overview
Kerbal Space Program is a program developed by Squad. The most used version is 1.0, with over 1% of all installations currently using this version.

The software installer includes 79 files and is usually about 562.5 KB (576,000 bytes). In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 10 as well as Windows 7 (SP1).
