The payloads for STS-38 were two satellites, an SDS2 (USA-67) and an HS-376 (Prowler)....

Fortunately both satellites have Orbiter add-ons already, with SDS2 being included in the STS-28 package

The configuration for STS-38 should be identical with the image below:

Thanks. I will see about updating that to STS 38

 

[moonheart]

Not to add too much to your list - but it would be great to look at STS-35.

Thanks for all your effort!

 

[gattispilot]

Here I uses STS28 as a guide. STS 38 was Atlantis.

A good read on STS-38 https://www.satobs.org/seesat_ref/S...e_Opportunity_to_Launch_Prowler_on_STS_38.pdf

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I guess technically the payload should be
The PKM employed for SDS 2-2 was the Orbus 21S - a spin-stabilized version of the first stagemotor of the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS). For the IUS, the standard separation delta-V was about9.5 m/s, which put the shuttle about 80 km behind, and 30 km above the PKM at firing.Since Prowler was based on the HS-376 bus, it probably employed the PAM-D, as explained inSection 5.2. The standard separation delta-V was about 3.4 m/s, which put the shuttle about 20km behind, and 10 km above the PKM at firing.
Here is STS 35

The PKM employed for SDS 2-2 was the Orbus 21S - a spin-stabilized version of the first stagemotor of the Inertial Upper Stage (IUS).

It should be something like was seen on STS-49, but deployed "sideways" like the Leasats.

STS-35 is already an add-on as well

 

[gattispilot]

Yes. I update some things for STS 35. Not sure about which sat to use now for the SBS 2. Prowler is HS-376

 

[moonheart]

Yes STS-35 is already an addon, but it doesn't function or show up in the D3D.

 

[gattispilot]

It might be due to the fact that the payload things Astro,... are sc3/4
copy the config/spacecraft folder and place here:
D:\Orbiter2016\Modules\Server\Config\spacecraft

 

[moonheart]

Wow - ok it works now! Who knew?

Thank you!

Looking through the scen files it looks like no one has made STS-62, STS-63, STS-69. Would be interesting...

I think @gattispilot made STS-63 already, just not posted. STS-69 is WSF-2 & SPARTAN201, both payloads already made, need just put them together (need EVA also for historical re-make). Not sure about STS-62

I think gattis already made those missions as well in the previous pages....somewhere around pages 40-50 I think

 

[gattispilot]

Not sure about sts62. But yes I got sts 69 and 63.

 

[moonheart]

I stand corrected - yes it looks like all were made, just not released yet. Gattis has done so much work it is amazing.

 

[MarkWatney2015]

...Not sure about which sat to use now for the S(D)S 2.

The satellite model from hutchison66's STS-28 add-on is the historically accurate model for an SDS2 satellite...we can still use it

 

[gattispilot]

On sts 38. I guess the scn needs the HS376a needs to be renamed Prowler and the APC to SBS2

 

[MarkWatney2015]

The name of the larger satellite is SDS2, not SBS2 (that was a name for a different, civilian commercial satellite)...

These SDS2 satellites were launched three times from a Shuttle (STS-28, STS-38 and STS-53) and once from a Titan IV and Atlas II

Quasar 8, 9, 10, 11 (SDS-2 1, 2, 3, 4)

Satellite Data System (SDS) spacecraft are communication relay satellites for transmiting real-time data from US reconnaissance satellites (e.g. KH...
