I've been trying to contact Dr. Schweiger for over three weeks now, and still haven't received a reply. Can anyone help me get in touch with him quickly, or barring that, does anyone have authority to give me permission to use Orbiter in this way? If I don't have a definitive answer by the end...

Oh, we're not worried about the data changing during the presentation- once the presentation starts, the data are the data. But the data can arbitrarily change between now and the presentation, and we're talking about a days long mission with thousands of associated data channels.

No, we're definitely looking for interactivity- the presenter should be able to jump to any arbitrary time in the mission timeline as requested by the audience. Ok, so it looks like it's possible to get the behavior I'm looking for by creating a new module. Assuming I get approval on my side...

Well here's the thing- I'm not the user. I'm going to be handing this application off to someone (I don't know who yet) who will be giving a presentation to NASA using the application. Therefore it has to be simple and intuitive and incredibly robust- if the application glitches the slightest...

I assure you, around here we go to great lengths to test the hell out of everything before a human ever steps foot in it. :)

Something like that. ;) Not on another PC, but using netcode because that's the easiest way to have two processes communicate (that I know of). The thought of inter-process communication via the operating system is, tbh, scary to me. <br/>In theory you should be able to jump to any time at all...

I saw that when I was perusing the forum earlier- from what I saw I understand that it's a work in progress, no? I have a very short deadline, basically a month and a half- if that's not pretty much ready to go right now then it's unfortunately no good. That's pretty much exactly what I'm...

Thank you all for posting and welcoming me, I'm glad to have found your community. I think I might fit in nicely here, if I do say so myself. (On an aside, I flew my first mission last night- DG to ISS- missed the darn thing by 300km. Time to try again tonight. :P Good times. ) Back on the...

Recently, at Lockheed Martin in Denver, we had an opportunity to see and download the "Orbiter" software. We are interested in using it to aid in engineering visualization for the upcoming Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the Orion project (www.nasa.gov/orion). In April, we had a “bring...
