On his 21st orbit, Gordon Cooper piloting Faith 7 (the last of the Mercury missions) lost all telemetry data and automatic control of his craft. With CO2 levels rising, using only his wristwatch and the stars, he successively calculated and performed the most accurate reentry burn of the Mercury...

I had an XR2 crash on the moon during takeoff from Brighton. The crew was injured but survived. I thought they might have been close enough to Brighton to jet pack back, but the XR2/UMMU wouldn't let me touch any of the controls (including to EVA the crew). I sent another XR2 as a rescue mission...

Whenever I do a flight in Orbiter I tend to just open up a pre-made generic scenario and delete my quick saves when I'm done. After reading about all the cool space stations and such people build I realized it might be fun to have some continuity in my scenarios. Like where I could put something...

So, I've orbited Earth a few dozen thousand times and I'm in need of some new scenery. Currently, I'm looking to take my XR-2 on a nice free return past the moon (and maybe a landing, but lets not get ahead of ourselves). I know there is a lunar transfer MFD, but I'd like to use IMFD as it is...

In general I've been pretty disappointed with Orbiters default scenery. I installed the high-res 14-level texture pack for Earth, linked to by the Orbiter site. While it has made for a huge improvement, I still feel like it could be better. So, to maximize the beauty of low Earth orbit, what...

Hello! I'm relatively new here. :cheers: All has been great so far and I've been really enjoying myself. My first flight took me to orbit, which I did several times, strictly by the book. Now I'm looking to fly to, and dock with, the ISS using the DG. I followed two tutorials. The one in the...

So I just got started with Orbiter. Everything has been great so far except I've been a little disappointed with the planets' and moons' textures. So I download the whole suite of textures from here. I installed them by extracting the files into my Orbiter directory where most of them ended up...
