Question Point to Point tutorials?

[DanM]

Are there tutorials for point to point suborbital flights?

Thanks!

Look out for agentgonzo's KSC to Ascension playbacks. Please remember to purchase a ton of cardiac pills before embarkation.

Also, do you want to fly humans or ... "cargoes"... on suborbital flights?

Not in the internet, since teaching you how to guide ICBMs is not funny. :lol:

Just kidding, there is a lot of stuff about it in the "Fundamentals of Astrodynamics".

Just remember: The angle at which you leave the atmosphere is the same angle at which you enter it again. And the angle can only get more shallow after engine cutoff.

Thank you both. Urwumpe, so essentially are you saying that suborbital flights are parabolas?

As far as ballistic flight, yes.

What use is cargo unless it's in orbit?

Yes, I want to simulate a pizza hut in England delivering to a customer in Australia XD

You're not the first to get that idea

The Company (REL) continues to explore alternative outlets for its technology and to this end is currently engaged in a 3 year study for the EU (LAPCAT) to investigate the feasibility of an antipodal hypersonic civil transport.

I think I've seen something about suborbital flights on O-F before, but I'm not sure what and where.
