Greetings Orbiters!
I am using Orbiter for my High-School's Science Fair.
I will be comparing various rendezvous methods of an XR-2 Ravenstar to the ISS.
These include Direct Hohmann Transfer from 200km circular Parking Orbit, Launching into the target orbit then tangentially raising/lowering it to change catchup rate, and finally a slow co-orbital phasing type, where I slowly "step up" the orbit each time to the ISS Orbit.
My dependent variables will be Delta-V expenditure, Time Elapsed, and Closing Velocity (which I would love to graph relative velocity over time somehow).
I have been interested in Spaceflight since I played Orbiter, and now I decided to do a project on it.
Please give me feedback! I have more formal information if you are interested.
