Every time you shoot a medium sized meteor, you select another mission.

To start a mission is done by shooting three big sized meteors in a row (no misses in between).
A completed mission will add 50% of the score.

3. Strategy and hints
- To get a high score, don't just mindlessly blast thos asteroids, but go for the bonuses.
- When many asteroids at the same time, prioritate the asteroids that heads directly towards the earth. The others will just pass, and is not a threath, so don't panic.
- Ufo's will appear at every 5000. Over 25000 they will continually appear. Shoot and chase them of screen and they're gone, but do it as soon you spot them or it becomes more difficult.
- Every meteor that is not the smallest size will break into two smaller parts when you hit them. The new directions of the two new ones will be +110 degs and -110 degs from the former meteoer. So be aware that a if you shoot meteoer very close to the earth, that runs in about 90 degs over the satelite, then a new smaller and faster meteor will come directly towards the earth, and you might not have time to shoot the new one, so the best thing is just to let it pass.
