Sounds like you're coming in too shallow. Capsules like a much greater reentry angle than winged vessels, though I don't remember any exact others off the top of my head. If you have Basesync MFD you could just mess around with the numbers until you can get it every time.

It'd be interesting to put this in Orbiter and try to fly to it. Looks fun and challenging

Would it be possible to grab the mesh of the station and make out a simple cfg for it? Isn't that what Universal Shipyard (what's it called again?) do, more or less?

Are they going to be leaving OBSS on the ISS after this flight? I think I remember them mentioning at one point in time a year or more ago.

Very well written and very interesting. Thanks!

also World of 2001 has several space stations included, though if I remember correctly, it doesn't work in O2010

here in Mexico the minimum wage is about $4.50USD per day. A kilo of rice costs a little under a dollar. Unemployment here isn't really the big problem, it's the poverty level: 50% of the population live beneath the international poverty line.

I'm pretty sure the MIR addon used version 1.3 or something like that. IIRC, there's a patch available on Orbithangar to allow the newer Proton Mir v1.3 scenarios patch

what attitude will the ISS be in? how is it different from normal?

I've always wondered what attitude the Space Shuttle made its OMS burns in, whether belly-down or horizontal to the orbital plane like the Orbiter autopilot

TNeo, could you get more pictures like that? It looks actually really interesting. I'm also wondering what modules you used (for example, for the russian solar power module, etc.)

Yeah, it's kind of a pain to get it going. I was thinking of either getting a USB numpad or an adaptor from keyboard to USB for an old full-size keyboard. I definitely second the Fn-Lock request (though turning on NumLock is almost the same...) But yeah, I'm having a good time nonetheless and...

I've been a member of this forum for a while, and an orbinaut for an even longer while, but my windows machine died on me about a year ago and I haven't been able to play since then. Recently I bought a new netbook with XP on it and the first thing I did was install orbiter. It's amazing how...

Oh okay. I thought the interfaces were updated or something. Thanks guys.

are there any pictures of the inside showing the difference between TMAM and the prior generation? I keep hearing it's much better from a pilot point of view (and I believe them), but I haven't seen any pictures yet.

So then it's probably going to be solid propellant, right? They could probably do it like in the Soyuz, right? Just a little bit bigger because of also being the LES. I always liked the idea of a pusher LES anyway, seems easier to me.

Doesn't the shuttle also have some fuel left over during reentry? Then again, how much fuel are we talking about?

I imagine they're going to get Atlantis ready for LON and put it on the pad and everything, then take it back to the VAB to get ready for 135

I always wondered if it were possible to be in a sun-synchronous orbit but not at the terminator?

I thought I had read somewhere that Gemini used the retro engines as a LES. Is that even possible? I also thought that ejection seats were pretty much useless in a spacecraft because of airflow and Gs (or something like that, the Shuttle had ejection seats for the first few flights but they were...
