So, Orbital ATK has recently revealed some information on their new OmegA rocket proposal. https://www.orbitalatk.com/flight-systems/space-launch-vehicles/OmegA/default.aspx OmegA: Orbital ATK’s New Large-Class Rocket - YouTube Some notes: -They are claiming that it is an EELV. In 2018.:huh...

Seems like it might be another thrown fan blade, albeit today's damage seems further back, or perhaps just a higher energy event. So I have three questions: 1) How was it that a blade (or whatever) was allowed to fail in the first place? How was it allowed to happen twice in the same airline...

Gonna have to update the launch date... Also, has anyone pulled-off TESS's super-interesting trajectory?

5 SRBs. This is a big'un. ---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ---------- Liftoff!!!!

I think that it will help to "promote" your new IMS venture if the original is searchable on O-H and not buried in the forums.

Have you tried overriding multistage2 with multistage2015?

IMHO, this should just be posted directly on O-H for posterity. I assume this version is as done as it's going to be. It's a perfectly wonderful add-on for Orbiter 2010 as it is!

TLDR: anything between about 6.500M and 7.00M should work fine. You generally want to be as low as possible, as long as you are not in contact with significant atmosphere. That's above about 120km altitude. (Earth's radius is 6.3781 Mm, so works out to Pe D about 6.50M). As you go higher, the...

Takes a lot of courage.

I was just talking to a friend yesterday regarding ads appearing that are creepily related to conversations or activities that we each had had recently. And now I see this thread. Perhaps Orbiter-forum was eavesdropping? On a serious note, when this happens, I wonder if it is really some...

The BBC was wrong, that is almost exactly where it came down!

I'm sure the prosecution will use the fact that you did that as circumstantial evidence anyway.

@Buck Rogers All I can say is to look here where that was discussed: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=542593&postcount=510 Do you have that texture?

Oh geez- after all that, it lands in the Southern Pacific Ocean. What a stereotype! On the bright side, it seems not to have landed too far from Point Nemo, considering. Probably could not have landed in a much safer spot if they tried...

China has 1.3 billion people. Everything there is going to be on a huge scale that will be hard for outsiders to grasp.

IIRC, there is a limitation regarding the number of light sources allowed. So I suppose that you could make a star-sized planet, but it will not shine.

If he responds, tell him to stop in and say hi.

No. Blixel's most recent post was in December of last year: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=568474&postcount=36 So I guess not THAT long ago, for a busy dude. dgatsoulis posted last October: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=565055&postcount=4 But his profile page...

I suspect that there is no thread for Hubble news because at this point, discoveries made by Hubble go beyond the spacecraft itself. Also, it is often used in conjunction with other observation methods. Is there a thread dedicated to dark matter?
