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...

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...

Is there a way to use TransX in orbiter 2010?

Hi there! Just a small question - how to pick my initial heading direction. I know that for ISS it must be 162', but i totally don't know what's about Mir. So my question is - how to calculate initial heading degree and achive a perfectly aligned with target orbit after ascent.

Hi all! :hello: As I noticed landing on this moons is more like docking then landing, BUT without a 'targets' like '-V' or '+V' assists to achive null relative speed with space stations. So how to achive it? I tried using TransX and flight directly to it - than i can land firing a hovers but...

Hi all! :tiphat: A two months ago I visited a conference dedicated to high-power energy flows (both microwave and laser). It was very boring except one report dedicated to manned trip to mars. :) lecturer put a special attention to problem of high power space radiation. While low-power rays is...

Hello everybody! It's my first post here and English isn't my native language but I'll do my best. So, I have a problem using AeroBrakeMFD. I'm trying to complete a mission "Mir to Earth", but i can't reenter. I select the target base, then pick the AoA such as G less then 6, (it's AoA about...
