The orbiter-radio website is used to host tilewise high-resolution Earth textures. Although the website is now suffering from link rot, the zip files are still downloadable. I cannot find anything from the Wayback Machine. So how do you guess which area a zip file may cover (e.g. EarthHi_11_05.zip)?

As you know, I was away from developing add-ons for a year. I had even stopped playing the simulator for over six months because of peer pressure to complete my school and college exams. Although I'm still studying in college, I have enough time to spare for my favourite game. Since I have...

Bharatiya Antariksha Station (BAS), literally "Indian Space Station", is a space station proposed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO, pronounced "iss-ROW"). It is partly inspired by the ISS. Although I have not yet returned to Orbiter for personal reasons, I want to play with the...

After a two year delay, martins has silently released the next version of Orbiter, the Orbiter 2020 (aka 20200332). While the version was finalized in 32 March 2020, its release had to delay for two years due to the COVID-induced lockdown in his country. What's new The stock Atlantis and Mir...

The Gaganyaan program (from Sanskrit gagan (sky) + yāna (craft)) is an Indian attempt to sent Indians into space using indigenous technology. Until today, Indians (and other people of Indian descent) have gone to space using foreign spacecraft. The first unmanned mission of Gaganyaan is...

When I first came across the news that a person bought some land of the Moon, I took it to be completely rubbish as I thought the land ownership of anything beyond 100 km is banned under the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. However, I have come across such news (and memes related to it) several times...
