Martin Schweiger, a senior research fellow in the computer science department at University College London, who felt that space flight simulators at the time were lacking in realistic physics-based flight models, and decided to write a simulator that made learning physics concepts enjoyable. The simulator was released on 27 November 2000 the latest edition, labeled "Orbiter 2016", was released on 30 August 2016, the first new version of the simulator since 2010. Orbiter is an open source space flight simulator program developed to simulate spaceflight using realistic Newtonian physics. Thanks as always to Don Gallagher ("Donamy") for the mesh and textures.Orbiter simulation of Space Shuttle Atlantis lifting off from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39Ģ016 (30 August 2016 5 years ago ( )) Establish an orbit at the next apogee with an OMS burn. Scenarios included with this package include a launch scenario with 3 MPLMs as cargo, a scenario docked to the ISS, and an on-orbit scenario with the Shuttle-C post-MECO. A docking port view is available along with the COAS overlay using "SHIFT+Z".ħ.) The Ku-band antenna is deployed using "CTRL+U".Ĩ.) Two versions of the Shuttle-C are provided, Block I with OMS engines, Block II without OMS engines.

This will cause the shuttleC dll to fire the OMS engines without an offset that could yield an unwanted rotation.Ģ.) Control of the cargo doors is via the key "K".ģ.) Once in orbit, and with the doors full open, a cargo can be deployed with the payload dialog box (open with "CTRL+SPACE").Ĥ.) Three views available, default forward view (key "V"), forward payload bay ("SHIFT+V") and aft payload bay camera ("CTRL+V").ĥ.) Prior to liftoff the cooling flow of LO2 venting from the SSMEs is simulated with "SHIFT+X".Ħ.) Once in space (before the OMS2 burn) the nose cap can be jettisoned using the payload dialog box button this exposes the docking port. Note that in order for the guidance algorithm to work properly, the line "OMS" must be in the scenario file. The Shuttle-C was proposed in 1987, and the idea was finally rejected in 1990.ġ.) Still allows for use with R.J.Croy's STS-GuidanceMFD for automatic rendezvous with LEO satellites. This package must be installed over an existing Shuttle Fleet V4.8 for Orbiter 2010 installation. This is version 4.8 of the Space Shuttle derived unmanned vehicle, Shuttle-C updated for Orbiter 2010 and the graphics client D3D9. The scenarios are based upon actual orbital elements for Spider from October 1981. Using the RPOP MFD, a flyaround is possible. There is a launch scenario on 13 October 1981 and a stationkeeping scenario on 14 October 1981. The scenarios are located in the Scenario folder "Finding LM3(Spider)". Both addons must be in the same Orbiter installation, Orbiter 2010, to work properly.

These are a series of scenarios utilizing the Shuttle Fleet and AMSO. Since the Space Shuttle Columbia first flew on 12 April 1981, that means that, hypothetically, the Space Shuttle could have been dispatched to rendezous (and possibly capture) Spider. That orbit lasted until the ascent stage re-entered and burned up on 23 October 1981. This resulted in an orbit of 6,934.4 × 230.6 km.
Recently I discovered that in March of 1969, when the lunar module ascent stage, "Spider" was released during the Apollo 9 Earth orbital mission, the ascent engine was commanded to burn to fuel depletion.
