Here it is: Soyuz undocking, reentry and landing explained - YouTube Is this Orbiter? Also, I did not know that ISS had to turn 90 degrees if Soyuz is docked a port on the bottom part. Edit: Yes, it is orbiter. I just checked the ending credits and it has special thanks to Martin Schweiger...

The shape of things to come Oh, man! Such an opportunity missed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8zsE5zdlsQ

Hi, I've had my fair share of ISS dockings now but I would like to know something. I know ISS has attitude control to keep station facing desired direction. In real missions, is attitude control being used to keep station stable during docking? Also, is this attitude control implemented in the...

I think of a bunch of good names right now but this is not why I'm writing right now. Trying to name your craft 'Titanic' or 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown' like Gus Grissom and John Young did in Gemini 3 may piss of your space agency :) so be careful and think twice before you decide!

I tought asking about it but unfortunately didn't have a chance!

I remember reading about how astronauts fixed the Hubble Space Telescope in space when I was a kid. The pictures taken by Hubble always fascinated me, as well as Mir Space Station. I have no idea why, but these two had a great influence on my passion for space. Today I met the guy who grappled...

Oh, CoG shifting. Well, I use it everyday. Isn't this the same thing as when taking a bus, if you're standing you lean forward while bus is accelerating, and the other way around? It works fine for me, helps me keep myself balanced with less energy. As for XR2's CoG shifting, maybe it just...

I have Proton LV 2.2. Could that be the problem about Mir? Because I can't run any of those scenarios except Core module in orbit and Kvant in orbit. Also, when I try to add ISSR/ISS to a scenario I get a CTD but log doesn't say anything. **** Orbiter.log Build Aug 30 2010 [v.100830] Timer...

Hi, thanks for the response. For one, I can't find this necessary addon: "SpaceLab module v3.0 (by Gandalf) - http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1896" I don't actually have all the time to build those two stations from square one. Can I add them all built up using scenario editor?

Hi. I'd love to replace Mir and ISS with better looking ones. I know about this and this but I can't figure out how to use them instead of the default ones. I also encounter problems with those addons because of some old addons which are not around anymore. Any help would be appreciated. BTW...

How do you take your winged spacecrafts to runway from hangar? Do you use main engines to start the movement like I do? Also one more question, do you spawn your cargo in your hangar next to your space craft and load it by hand or just spawn it in the cargo bay?

As far as I remember an open source planetarium software called Celestia has this rays of light effect around sun. Maybe taking a look at that might help.
