ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
This challenge is to Orbinauts to discuss and possibly create an addon that would launch aboard a Falcon Heavy, to deliver a payload to Lunar orbit that would be able to be seen from Earth.
Lets hear some ideas.
Who would like to work on a project, that would see colonizing the moon by 2029 ? I don't think, in real life it would be that difficult. Other than being very expensive, I think it could be done with the rockets and modules that are already in planning and development. I think it would be alot...
Has anyone given any thought, to simulate the docking physics ?
Would it be possible to impart motion, to vessels immediately after docking, or glancing off, if the docking point wasn't quite lined up ?
New HTV 7 mission, includes the HTV vehicle with it's external payload, of replacement batteries and adapter plates. Plus new S4 and P4 modules for extracting the old NiH2O batteries.
HTV 7 addon
Something I developed, and hope to use to, inspire space science to kids. I have most of the hardware, and will be using Orbiter (duh!)
I would like some ideas to best impliment it, and how best to hook-up the hardware to run as a simulator. I have 2 computers, running Windows 7 with 2 big...
I believe we need a more computer friendly shuttle model. The one that is being done by DaveS now is way to massive as far as polys go. This will never be able to fly missions to the ISS AtoZ, or even carry the payloads, without being a slide show. I think we should consider a much scaled down...
I finally got the stack working with velcro rockets, Thank you Sputnik !!
If anyone can do autopilots with velcro rockets and would like to help on this project, let me know.
Hello All,
I will be taking a short break from Orbiter (hopefully) because I will be going in for shoulder surgery in a week, on my mouse hand side. I have been assured by the Doc that all should go well, but I'm a firm believer in tipping the scales in my favor through prayer, so if anyone is...
When I was just ot of high school, in the seventies (God has it been that long?) Carl Sagan was explaining how the universe's expansion was slowing down. Now it is expanding at an ever faster rate than realized. What happened since then ?
When Barak Obama was elected president, the new first lady said it was the first time, she was not ashamed of her country. Well, with the cancellation of the space shuttle program, it is the first time that I've been ashamed of it. All three ships, still have many years of productive service...
