    Flight Question Mars Landing / Re-entry: AeroBrake or not?

    Do you use retro thrusters to brake at the final approach? What's you altitude and distance from the base when you start hovering?

    Flight Question Mars Landing / Re-entry: AeroBrake or not?

    But what if we think about enegry-effective way of the mars landing? Esp. ni DG/XR class winged vessels it should definitely involve aerobraking and gliding. But when to stop aerobrake, and start using hover engines? I don't like much idea of braking by the main engines and flying like a brick...

    Flight Question DGIV oxygen use for Mars trips

    Heh, yea, i've also been in truoble finding this configuation utility 1st time. What i've did - i used the 'Search' function of windows, and tell it to find all .exe files in orbiter's directory. It worked! :)

    Advanced Question LTV Landing

    After completing a few Apollo (AMSO) missions I've decided to try a different approach using beautiful ATV2-CTV-LTV addon by well & no matter. Everything were going nicely till the LTV landing stage. Apollo have a precise PDI autopilot, or even semi-automatic AP, that takes care of vertical...

    Flight Question Initial heading

    Thanks alot for all theese answers! A small additional question - as far as i know the optimal launch heading is 90'. Is there always a 'window' that allows launching at 90' heading, or in some cases we can only use pre-calculated headings?

    Idea (near) realistic unmanned interplanetary spacecraft

    Hello! I think most of us are flying on 'universal manned spacecrafts' - such as DG, XR, and so on. It's quite interesting but very very unrealistic. Although they're well detailed, it's very anrealistic to send a 5 ppl crew to a 8 years long trip to Jovan system, for example. So, i've started...

    OHM Vega1 & Vega2

    Nice add-on! But i can't fully understand flight course. For example dropping a lander into a venus atmosphere. I've readed documentation, and it sad that i should drop it 3 days before arriving (PeA?) Venus, and my PeA should be -500k. So does it means that i shold be on collision course with...
