    Titan surface launch anomaly

    Hi, I've come across a strange "anomaly" while trying to launch from the surface of Titan. If anyone has the time, I'd be grateful to get confirmation or whether its just me! It seems the surface of Titan is very "sticky" - I have to apply nearly twice the vessel "weight" in upwards thrust to...

    Project Nova-C Lander

The...

    Discussion X-Y plane aerofoil?

    Hello! I hope this is the right place for ideas about future Orbiter developements. I just wondered if anyone had thought about adding a 3rd aerofoil option for vessels - an aerofoil in the X-Y plane. This would be useful for capsules. It is possible to simulate capsule lift effects with the...

    Internet Jack Foltz at Fixthephoto spam/scam?

    Hi, just a quick heads-up in case it's useful to anyone. I have now received two spam/scam emails to my primary email address (not the one on my account here at OF) from someone calling themselves "Jack Foltz" at "Fixthephoto.com". I guess the idea is for me to respond or click the...

    Error GetClassName() & oapiGetPlanetTheta()

    Just a quick note about: Orbiter2016 v.160828 VesselAPI.h "char *GetClassName () const;" This seems to return a character string equivalent to the path to the vessel's .cfg file as used by the vessel entry in the scenario. e.g. For a DeltaGlider this could be "DeltaGlider" or...

    I've just been having a look at NASA's "CAPSTONE" mission: Pathfinder for Artemis Going to Lunar NRHO Launched on Rocketlab's "Electron", multiple Apogee raising burns from LEO Ballistic trajectory to Lunar NRHO via Earth-Sun L1 area. Quite a navigation challenge for Orbiter! We already have...
