OHM Shuttle Abort Sites Vol. I

[OrbitHangar]

Author: kyle

From 1981-2011, in the event that a space shuttle had a failure going uphill during ascent, NASA selected several sites to be used as abort landing sites in such events. Fortunantly a space shuttle never had to be forced down in the event of a engine failure uphill. Now, you can recreate a fictonal abort with your own missions.

Includes Istres, Easter Island, Moron, Banjul, and Zaragoza base textures.

No addons are necessary, but I do recommend having Shuttle Fleet v.4.8 and the SLC-6 addon found on Orbithangar.

Enjoy!

I will be in the future including a Vol. II to include:
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point
Ben Guerir Air Base
Rota, Spain
as well as a fictional Texas landing site.

Since you included Easter Island, should't this pack be named Transoceanic Abort Landing Sites Vol. I? Easter Island is located in the southern Pacific, so the term "transatlantic" is a bit of out of place here. Also Cherry Point MCAS is not a TAL site but a ECAL site.

Any way great work!

Ah! Good point, I hadn't thought about that. Originally, I was just going to do the Transatlantic abort sites in Europe but I added one for SLC-6 missions as well.

I think I'd better just rename it Shuttle Abort Sites instead.

Good idea ! Those make nice spaceports for any spaceplanes ! :thumbup:

Thanks!

Nice Job!

Very nice work; thanks.

Here is a list of all the last set of shuttle approved landing sites just to keep you busy. There was even a site in Texas (so you don't have to make a fictional one...)

I was looking for something like that, thanks!
