    Launch News Final Ariane 5 launch - VA261 - Heinrich-Hertz-Satellit & SYRACUSE 4B

    This feels a bit weird to me. My first attempt at 3D-modeling was an extremely simple model of SYLDA.

    Problem I Cannot Rendezvous the ISS

    Capt. Obvious here. Launching realistic craft requires precision, because the margins are small compared to sci-fi craft. The most important thing is to launch into the correct plane. (RInc close to zero) Secondly, you can use time instead fuel to reach the intercept point. Plan for small burns...

    Scenario Create new scenario around Moon

    Lunar DRO IS a 3-body orbit with the Sun as the major contribitor. IIRC Scott Manley made a video explaining it fairly well. PS: If you set up an orbit around the Earth at the same altitude as the Moon, but 180 deg. from it, you will also find that the Sun is the major contribitor. You can...

    Request Calculator MFD

    Gaming New Microsoft Flight Simulator?

    The tutorial stopped working for me at the same point. My local airport is MIA. I'm just lurking until it runs a bit smoother. Too busy at work ATM. Knife-edge taxi?

    Gaming New Microsoft Flight Simulator?

    I put the initial 1G download in my 'regular' Steam location on D: but I never got the option to select any location for MSFS2020. Now my 222G ssd C: is down to 48G, but it works relatively well for a brand new game at this size. PS: When the 91G download was finished, Steam goes: "You have...

    I must be too tired. First time I glanced at the headline I read it as: "... for saving home from wildlife" and I went "Woah! Brian May has changed". :facepalm:

    I'm guessing that the nudist/boars ratio is not a thing in the UK? ... or maybe an irrational number? :lol:

    Average distance between objects on Keplerian orbits.

    What about the plane(s)? A RInc other than zero would not help.

    News COVID-19 pandemic

    Most COVID-19 fatalities are patients with compromised respiratory system. How many of them would be smokers? Statistics is a tool, NOT a solution! :facepalm:
