    Project Space Shuttle Vessel

    Did you define the Target Vessel in Mission Editor? Looks like no, because there is no "TARGET_VESSEL" entry in the scenario. If you want to rendezvous with another vessel, you need to tell Mission Editor the name of it. To fix this, add the name of the target ("ISS_HD") in the Orbit tab of...

    Updates Blue Origin announces the New Glenn Orbital Launch Vehicle

    After the 1960s explosion, we now get the 1950s launch pad... as long as it works. 🤷‍♂️ The base looks the same, but the rocket will now be rotated 90º, so they don't end up hitting the new tower with a strake. Further up I see nothing in the way of swing arms, only "loose umbilicals". They...

    Updates Blue Origin announces the New Glenn Orbital Launch Vehicle

    I guess that will have swing arms in the end? And they still haven't cleaned up the flame trench, which means that is not the critical path of the reconstruction, or they need the tower (temporarily) out of there for that work.

    Updates Blue Origin announces the New Glenn Orbital Launch Vehicle

    Quite a sight to see the progress this team has made since May 28. Wreckage recovery from start to finish was completed in 9 days, and all debris has been cleared from Launch Complex 36. Huge shoutout to the team who have been working 7x24. We have started reconstruction and still plan to fly...

    Discussion Space Shuttle Vessel - Payload Development Thread

    I already mentioned this, but I have done some work for the PAMs, the displays and SSP panel, but that all depends on the v2.0 work still going on, so it has to wait. Meanwhile, all that can be done (external to the project) is an independent vessel PAM cradle.

    About the audio, I think PAO is not a good idea. A/G would be nice, but there is no Houston, so... Having airspeed and altitude call outs during landing would be an interesting thing... not sure how that work, though. :cautious: And then there is the voice(s)... anyone knows an astronaut (or...

    I wrote a function long ago, and listed all the leap seconds to determine the offset from the input date. If you need it, I can find it for you.

    The offset would be calculated in the Mission Editor when the user defines the T0 (in GMT), and from that I can work what MJD that is for the scenario, based on the leap seconds table. The resulting offset can easily be shown in there, so it can be used in FDO MFD if needed.
