OFSS Mission 5 - DGIV – Supply-1 – RangerPL


Required Downloads/Add-ons:




Installation:

  2. Unzip Wideawake International into that Orbiter folder.

  3. Unzip Energy project, and run the setup to install it.

  4. Unzip Universal RMS, and run the setup to install it.

  5. Unzip Interplanetary MFD (IMFD) into the Orbiter folder.

  6. Unzip XR-5 into the Orbiter folder.

  7. Unzip Ariane 6 into the Orbiter folder.

  8. Unzip PMA to the Orbiter folder.

  9. Unzip Launch MFD to the Orbiter folder.

  10. Unzip HL-20 to the Orbiter folder.

  11. Unzip Shuttle Fleet to the Orbiter folder.

  12. Unzip Artemis to the Orbiter folder.

  13. Unzip Delta Tug and run the installer.

  14. Run the installer of DG-IV.

  15. Unzip the newest Orbiter Forum Space Station package from.
    http://www.orbithangar.com/searchauth.php?search=astrosammy into the folder.

  16. Activate Launch MFD and IMFD in the Orbiter launchpad.



Mission:


  1. Launch orbiter and start the scenario “#5 Mission 5 Launch; RangerPL.scn”. Energia is ready for launch at Wideawake.

  2. Open Launch MFD and enter “Core” as target. It now gives you the heading and the time for

    your launch

  3. Wait until the time in LMFD is at 350s

  4. Prepare your ship and launch. The Autopilot should put you into the right inclination.

  5. Intercept the station, that should not take longer than 5 days.

  6. When you are at the station switch to “Zoe” and enable it's pro- or retrograde autopilot to move the station to docking attitude.

  7. Dock to the station, at the PMA below the Artemis node.

  8. Move the RMS into position for grappling your payload, seperate it, and grapple it. You can undock and do an EVA if the RMS isn't long enough for that.

  9. Dock the payload to one of the ports at Artemis.

  10. Wait for the next landing opportunity at Wideawake or Canaveral, using the standard Map MFD, or with BaseSync MFD.

  11. Perform Atmospheric reentry and landing at Wideawake or Canaveral, using standard MFDs, or

    AerobrakeMFD.

  12. If you are unable to do that, ask the other pilots for help in the "Reentry Help" discussion.

  13. At the end you should save the scenario either with the scenario editor, or with the "Save Current"

    button in the Orbiter Launchpad, and post it in the discussion “Docs and packages” in the OFSS user

    group.


The mission should be finished after three days, to keep the waiting time for the next pilot short.



It is not required, but would be nice if screenshots of this mission are uploaded.
