I have played Orbiter for a while and I can do quite a lot of fancy journeys. But that is only on a operational aspect. I want to learn more about the mathematics and mechanics about planet orbits and driving a spaceship. Is there any books or sources that I can begin with?

Sorry in advance if you find the post very noob, because i do have zero knowledge about rocket other than playing Orbiter for a few years. purpose I want to send a less than 0.5 kg payload into low earth orbit (say 100km above surface). Using homemade fuel mixture and shell material, how large...

As far as I can remember, sun is merely a spot compared to VY Canis Majoris. How come a star of 300 solar mass can amaze everybody?

Sorry for my ignorance in advance. I am playing STS-117 and I have been using SSRMS for hours to get the the S3 to correct position. The task is really difficult to me. Is there a mean to control the SSRMS other than manual trial and error? Furthermore, I don't know how to attach the S3 to the...

The whole screen truns black (but without crashing) when viewing at certain angles. It's very frustrating...

(I am using Shuttle Fleet 4.2) 1. Unlike GD or XR2, space shuttle's hub is located on its back, how on earth could I dock to ISS with linear translation, when all the buttons are inverted in direction? 2. How to directly ascent and rendezvous with ISS without waiting for a few periods in orbit...

It makes me think of some lines in Modern Warfare 2: Makarov: I'll see you in Neptune. Price: Looking forward to it. Give my regards to Zakhaev if you get in there first.

Got it.That's what I need. The new ISS looks great! thanks very much!

Can somebody inetegrate all required addons and this addon into one single pack? Because I my programme crash at loading (clean orbiter is already used).

it cost significant lag in each refresh when working under windows 7. How to fix this problem?

Getting to geostationary orbit is not difficult, but i can't control where will i be flying above when orbit insertion is completed. How can I do so in Orbiter and how do real satellites do it?

I'd more interest in the effect of music(ie patterned sound) on brain. We are the only species that gets affected so heavily by music. For example, monkeys won't care his mate more no matter what kind of sound is played, but men will love his girlfriend more (at least temporary) when a suitable...

I haven't used Energy when i was stilling using XP. Anyway, whenever we look upon the smoke of Energy Rockets in windows 7, the FPS drops from 58 to 13. I don't think its my hardware problems as i can look at XR2's and DG4's somke without significant lag. What the problem might be?

That's really a good addon! We owe you a beer Dan
