OHM 50 years-Explorer 1

[OrbitHangar]

Author: bigmac

50 Years ago, on January 31, 1958, The United States launched its first satellite, Explorer 1.
Despite the Soviet Union orbiting two satellites before them, and the embarrasing failure of Vanguard 1, Wherner von Braun's team managed to put the 14 kg satellite successfully into a 360x2500 km orbit at 10:48 PM. As well as going some way to making up for the embarrasment that Sputnik caused, Explorer 1 also made an
important scientific discovery when James Van Allen detected belts of radiation circling the Earth that now bear his name.

It's the COG value in the ini. Lower it.

Actually, before you do a video, this add-on is a great candidate for conversion to multistage2015.

have you tried to set to 0 the COG in the ini file?

Thanks, the value is cog=-13.3

I have to confess, I'm making flights for all candidates to video, before making video, I fly from beginning to end.
