Yea, Celestia will definitely tax your computer, but it's the best program of its kind out there. I don't find the controls clunky at all. It's not meant to be a spaceflight/physics simulator, it's meant to be a high quality 3d planetarium and a virtual universe. There isn't a lot of overlap...

Pretty neat. Celestia is more comprehensive though.

Good lookin out!

Thanks everyone! This is perfect.

Does anyone know what the orbital parameters are for the ISS that make the upcoming Soyuz TMA-08M 6 hour rendezvous possible? I can only find reliable PeA and ApA data up to 2009, and I would like to modify a scenario to be as accurate as possible, to try and duplicate the upcoming lauch.

That crater they flew over just before landing is Little West Crater. It's only about 30 meters in diameter, so a home telescope won't be able to resolve it. the LRO has some pretty neat images of it here You can clearly make out the crater, the descent stage, and even the tracks of their...

Hi guys. I'm having a bit of trouble attaching the the APFR to the OBSS. I can grab the APFR and move it into location, but I don't know where to go from there. Do I use the attachment manager on the OBSS, or just Q? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but the manual is a bit unclear on this...

On the right side under "Kypc" (Kurs, or course) is the attitude display. Above that I'm not sure, because part of the light text is obscured, but it appears to be angles of some sort.

Great! I can't wait or the full thing.

You could release the parts as you finish them and then the full thing when it's completed. That seems to be what others have done.

Ok so I started again from scratch, following the guide to the letter, and at the very end, after I build the modules, I get "10 Succeeded, 7 Failed." Can someone look at the code at tell me what I've done wrong (and how to fix it?) I'm eternally grateful to all of you guys who actually...

Ok so I've run into a bit of trouble again. Following the guide posted above, I've gotten as far as "Now click on the Open Project... option of the VC++ Start Page and the navigate to the Orbitersdk\Space Shuttle Ultra\ folder. Then find the file called "Atlantis_2010.sln" (it might be just...

Hi all, So this is probably going to be a facepalm for most of you, but I'm very lost so please forgive me. I can't for the life of me navigate the installation of SSU. It's my understanding that the precompiled modules are not up to date, and I have no idea how to use SVN. I read all the...

This is just what I've been looking for! Fantastic. Any updates?

Is there one in existence? I've searched everywhere with no luck. I have all the others up to 15 and it seems strange that only 16 would be missing.
