A slightly fictionnal video about a foggy autoland using genuine guidance: A new TAL landing site to Hao in French Polynesia, which would have been a TAL / Emergency Landing Site (ELS) for Vandenberg Launch TAL test to French Polynesia from Vandenberg. A quick journey over the Pacific...

Some news. A new display that was available in the latest Shuttle software update (OI-33) which debuted with STS-126: https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2008/10/126-debut-oi-33-rco-ability/ It helps with situational awareness for Ascent, Entry and ECAL aborts. Only the Entry part of the Spec 54...

Video about TAL to Istres.

Very nice work GLS, time to fire FDO tool again :)

Spring News on the dev branch: https://sourceforge.net/p/fgspaceshuttledev/code/ci/development/tree/ 1)A new Orbital Insertion AP based on the real one used, a deeper version of the Powered Explicit Guidance scheme: https://www.orbiterwiki.org/wiki/Powered_Explicit_Guidanc A verstatile and...

Innsbruck (item 92) Runways 08/26 are available for Autolanding

Some news about some work being done on the dev branch, mainly about TAEM and Entry guidance algorithms. TAEM and Autoland logic TAEM and Autoland original logics are now well implemented based on NASA documentations. More informations and full bibliography are available there: TAEM and...

You may find some of the answers to your question there: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/ssu-tutorials.37464/

Not precisely . The workbook revision is the latest one from 2006, I guess the Stage 1 table advertised is close to the one used for latest Shuttle flights. They speak also about the adaptative logic for SRB hot or cold conditions, and unforseen winds shifts ( load alleviation) Also there are...

That also might come from different I-loaded stage 1 closed loop pitch / pitch rate tables ( Payload/ CoG / Inclination etc dependant) . I just found two of them, maybe you have more informations about them. Latest one from Ascent Guidance Workbook ( I think the one implemented in SSU)...

@soumya-8974 : you have the glideslope mfd which is very useful and can replicate a Heading Alignement Cone Shuttle like logic with an Energy Management function to handle high or low energy situations ( quite versatile ). S-Turns are for really high energy situations. With that mfd, you should...

A quick overview of the last part of Entry preparations done before returning to Earth after our long polar trip. MCC sent the Deorbit burn datas to the crew. Pre-Deorbit and Deorbit lines from the Deorbit Entry Landing Preliminary Advisory Datas (DELPAD) are filled. APU start up sequence...

Nice field of view depth. You forgot to clean the dust on the Commander PFD :D Those polar screenshots above made me hanker after a Polar Long Haul trip. I tried to base it on STS 62 A that would have been the first Polar Mission from Vandenberg in 1986. STS 62 A STS 62 A Polar Express At...

Indeed, a big thanks to the SSU team for those close to real fonts. That gives an even deeper immersion. Some of the display changes mentionned for the OPS 3 entry part (based on OI-33 dps software version) Some screenshots from my last sessions. Coasting phase above clouds waiting for...

Hello. First, I would say you must be confident with Rendez Vous Theory and practice with Delta Glider to do some simple ISS rendez vous without too much constraints. There are some very good tutorials around. What is special with Real rendez vous, and even more with the Shuttle ( as it was...
