Somehow I got cmake to generate the documents! :hailprobe: Well... 2 of them, as the technical manual fails, probably due to the need to convert the *.eps image files. Still not sure how to solve this... might just give up for now, move forward to the PR merge and fix later. Isolated tickets...

That should be it. That should give 1 or 2º/s (you can check the actual value in SPEC 20). Remember, the Space Shuttle was not built in Hollywood, so it didn't produce the cinematic images of wild gyrations and thrusters firing all over the place, it was "boring" with turns at low rates so the...

It is the Intermediate Seal purge dump on the High Pressure Oxidizer Turbopump in each engine... and in SSV it is not manually controlled. 😒

That is not controllable. Before the RSS moves, there are some structures that open/close, so motion is not immediate. And I think the OAA has to be extended.

Well, not really being worked on at the moment... You should take a look at the manual: Most pad structures are controlled automatically during the countdown, but manual control is available for all of them via a dialog window which is opened by the keys Ctrl+Space. You are probably in "VERN"...

I'm so happy I got up for it... :cautious: Quick (and unchecked) math puts T0 around 0055 UTC on Saturday.

Something I forgot to mention: what is the status of Transfer MFD and/or TransX MFD? I can't make heads or tails of what is included, of it if works (last time I used... one of those, I was getting a CTD and I think I opened a ticket in the old forum).

Put a couple of relay sats in that orbit instead.

Specifically on the heatshield, the current design is not what was used in the Apollo CM. Did they change it for reusability? Mass? Safety margin? Ease of manufacturing? All good reasons, but clearly the one test flight in 2014(?) wasn't enough. IMO, Starship on the Moon makes no sense. I think...

I think the conversion and (most of the) formatting of the files is now done! There are a few things to decide before merging, and then start with the checks and corrections of the content. First, a description of how things sit at the moment. The products of this are 3 files (User, Developer...

Yeah, somehow I missed that... 🤦‍♂️ It will be fixed.

So, the SSV manual is not a "Shuttle operations manual". It has information about how the Shuttle is simulated in SSV, listing the current differences and limitations, and also how to use SSV in Orbiter. It has some operations info, but it is limited to information not available anywhere else...

From memory, there should be maybe 2 vc positions in there, and you can also go the External Airlock (but the visuals aren't great there due to limitations in the graphics). There are some improviments in the vc system in the pipeline... eventually they will see the light of day. You have the...

Hi there! Bad news: no EVA in SSV... eventually it will happen, but there is a bit of stone to break before it gets there. Good news: the middeck should be accessible by pressing down arrow when in the Payload Station position (behind the CDR). This will also improve in the future.

Shouldn't the "space" videos be posted in Spaceflight Video Thread ?

Yeah, that has been my plan all along. I'll list in the ticket all the TODOs I left in the tex files with issues I noticed, but more things will show up as people start reading the files.

Light at the end of the tunnel!!!!! :hailprobe: The documentation conversion is pretty much done! Only a few (hopefully) small issues remain, and they should be done with later this week. I attached to this post the current versions for public evaluation. I sure will never volunteer again for...
