    Advanced Question Argument of Perigee

    I know there are several methods of rotating the argument of periapsis due to laws of Kepler Orbit/Newtonian physics. Apply prograde thrust when your mean anomaly equals 90 or 270 degrees, burn when your target is at apogee/apoapsis, or circularize your orbit at perigee, null out eccentricity...

    Problem RPOP

    Am using Shuttle Fleet 4.8 R2. When approaching either Mir or the ISS, RPOP is not showing anything besides what my current target is and what reference I am using, whether Center of Gravity or Docking Port. I can dock with the station, I can be floating around .02m from the station and still...

    Advanced Question Two-Line Elements

    Okay, math whizzes out in Orbiterland. This is for you. I have been working on setting up my own scenarios for shuttle fleet. Well, let me rephrase that. I have been attempting to set up my own scenarios for shuttle fleet but have some questions regarding orbits. I have TLE sets for ISS and Mir...

    Hello from the Land of Oz

    Greetings, Orbinauts! My name is Branden. I hail from the great state of Kansas in the good ol' US of A. Been playing Orbiter since 2006p1 and have mastered nothing! Lol. It took until about a month ago to successfully launch (on the correct heading for once), align, rendezvous and dock the...
