Idea Experiments

[Lunar_Lander]

After reading up on Sputnik 3, I asked myself if we could have working experiments in Orbiter too. That would mean that we would need something to measure too of course (so we would need a cosmic ray model for instance). Do you think that it could be possible to include the Van-Allen-Belts, solar wind, etc. one day and also make "instruments" which then record something? That might be only interesting for some people, but it would be a nice touch.

Well, you could have one now, but you'd have to write your own DLL for it...

Would maybe be nice to have a "scientific layer" plug-in for Orbiter, that gives access to various quantities in the solar system, like a Orbitersound for science data.

Doesnt orbiter 2010 have a solar wind system in it? You could just wait for that to come out then have it display the current solar wind from the sun.

Not solar wind per se, but it does model radiation pressure.
