OHM Apollo 20 and Tycho Landing Site

[OrbitHangar]

Author: missleman01

Fly Apollo 20 to the North Rim of Tycho in 1974. This is a J-Series mission carrying Lunar Rover and Sim bay. Visit lunar highlands, a lava lake, and Surveyor VII.

Scenarios and landing terrain included as a new surface base. Based on Lunar Orbiter V photos.

Detailed instructions included.

Scenarios for use with AMSO (modify new landing site to overwrite Copernicus.cfg after installation to use AMSO autopilots)

Scenarios*require Interplanetary MFD 5.4, Lunar Transfer MFD 1.4, and AMSO 1.19 (not included)

Please see readme.txt and Apollo 20 and Tycho North Rim Landing Site.pdf

This is my first attempt at terrain. I wanted a place to land at other than the historical sites. If this turns out well I may model other sites in the future.

Thanks, thanks and thanks. Coincidentally, these days I be "practicing" landings in Tycho crater, I have the idea to do near Surveyor VII spacecraft. But I use TransX

 

[missleman01]

TransX should work fine, the scenarios just have the setup for the other MDFs ready to go.

Good luck with Surveyor VII

I also can make a general note. I just saw LOLA MFD was updated for 2010. One should be able to use that autopilot for landing too without replacing the copernicus config with the tycho one as described in the addon if one is so inclined

While your patch looks cool (and appropriate having Tycho crater be the zero in 20), there is also this patch that can be used:

Thanks Star Voyager. That patch is a nice idea but I dont know who the rights belong to for it. I also like having a patch without names so that whoever uses this fictional mission can imagine whoever they want for the crew.

 

[Star Voyager]

Yes, that does make better sense. Just a suggestion :tiphat:!

 

[missleman01]

No worries. Its a good suggestion. I wish i knew the source so I wouldnt get into trouble for using it (is it spacefacts.de?) because they feature the likely crews for those flights.

 

[Star Voyager]

Yes it did come from Spacecfacts. And while it is a good looking patch, some of them seem too made up. And also, I have not tried the add-on, I'm planning on getting AMSO back on my computer soon, but I do look forward to flying the mission. Thanks for posting !
