Giotto - Halley Armada Pt.2
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the launch of ESA's first deep space mission and the first spacecraft to make a close flyby of a comet. Giotto was part of the international fleet of vessels sent to study Comet Halley during 1986. Giotto was launched on 2nd July 1985 on an Ariane1 launcher from Kourou CSG. It's extended mission included a flyby of comet 26P_GriggSkjellerup in 1992 via an Earth gravity assist.
Â
Add-on includes: Giotto spacecraft, comets 1P_Halley, 21P_GiacobiniZinner, 26P_GriggSkjellerup, 45P_HMP(HondaMrkosPajdusakova), flight and operation notes, launch/post-launch/rendezvous scenarios.
Â
Features: Demonstration of realistic attitude control system for spin-stabilized vessel (using torque-free precession of spin axis), simple simulated solar-power/thermal constraints on spacecraft attitude (possible systems failure!), simulated HGA communications pointing constraint, on-board imaging capability (HMC) will save images taken by the spacecraft as .bmp files, simulated particle impact counter, single burn-to-depletion solid fuel kick motor, etc.
Â
This is a fairly complex craft to operate, I have tried to make the documentation as clear as possible but this add-on maybe more suitable for experienced Orbinauts and those with a good grasp of IMFD and TransX.11 Nov. 2019 - Updated for Orbiter2016 (build 160828)
