General Question Possible to update default ISS orbit information?

[Tim13]

Maybe a dumb question. Is it possible to update the default ISS's orbit information, or any addon ISS orbit information, to have it pass directly over KSC up hill?

I ask this just to make some scenarios easier, especially for beginners when writing up a tutorial.

Thanks.

You could use the scenario editor to change the Longitude of the ascending node to a suitable value.

(Or, of course, choose a different MJD for the scenario. You can rotate both: Earth or the orbit plane)

I've played around with the MJD, and I get a virtually perfect down hill pass, but always a bit off on the uphill passes.

I'll check out the scenario editor. Over the years, I've only ever used notepad to manually change the scenario files.

Thanks for the tip!

Great question. Its time for a more updated default ISS. Back during the ISS building flights DaveS did some real time scenarios that tracked the ISS really close. It would be great to see that again
