ESA suspends the second ExoMars mission (after the ExoMars TGO mission) over the current geopolitical situation. Please don't comment on this post unless the comment is apolitical enough...

Breathtaking views that were confined in NASA's computer simulations for years! I can't believe my eyes!

The Space Launch System is no longer just an artwork we speculate on whether it will work or not. It is now a real rocket ready for wet dress rehearsal.

Please don't highlight the current geopolitical situation here. This is not the Basement.

I'm always using Orbiter 2016 since 2021. Before that, I used both Orbiter 2010 and Orbiter 2016. There is an Orbiter 2016 version of AMSO at here, so this is not a problem anymore.

It takes time to opt in/opt out, and the Basement will become invisible if you uncheck the opt in box.

The OHM add-on says that this add-on contains "every SpaceX mission so far through the year 2021". Please rectify it to say that this add-on contains every SpaceX mission from 2020 to present. Also, I have published the 2015-2019 SpaceX missions at here, and I would like to extend that to...

Description This add-on recreates every SpaceX mission from 2015 to 2019. ASDS and FRV locations are as close to historically accurate as possible. Some guesswork was used for some scenarios, as SpaceX doesn't always publish every tiny detail of their missions (such as payload mass or orbits...

Also considering Russia's "special operation" in Ukraine. However, anyone in this forum should read my signature before commenting on this reply.

I think that should be published as a separate add-on, otherwise people will traffic in this thread clamoring for pre-2020 missions.

@Kyle. where are the pre-2020 SpaceX launches? I have just reinstalled your add-on and its requirements.

Duplicate post. You have already posted this at https://orbiter-forum.com/threads/issr-no-longer-works-in-orbiter-2016-d3d9client.40381/#post-591792.

I think he assumed them to be 5000 kilos as we don't have public data of their masses.

Cygnus arrives at the station with supplies and experiments: https://blogs.nasa.gov/ng-crs-17/ Press release: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/northrop-grumman-sends-nasa-science-cargo-to-international-space-station

Speaking of a recoverable stage, there is (was?) a proposal by the ULA to replace the Centaur stage of Vulcan with the Advanced Cryogenic Evolved Stage (ACES) in this decade, which is recoverable.

Was out of touch with this thread for a long time, and while I'm no longer maintaining my add-ons, I may use them time to time to see any problems with them.

Updated my wall collage with the inclusion of another Falcon 9 rocket (carrying a batch of Starlinks) and one of the early images taken by JWST. My wall collage is growing quite rapidly and will likely include Saturn V in 2024, at the 55th anniversary of Apollo 11. Anyway, glad to see the...

ATK is now part of Northrop Grumman, as the latter acquired Orbital ATK in 2018, itself was a merger of Orbital Sciences and ATK. This means, NASA's CRS contract originally given to Orbital Sciences is now fulfilled by Northrop Grumman. Similarly, the current manufacturer of SLS boosters is...

Nothing to do with Chandrayaan, but I've just heard that the Chandra X-ray Observatory is one of the few non-Indian spacecraft with Indian name (it is named after S Chandrasekhar). Cygnus NG-14 Kalpana Chawla is another one (Kalpana Chawla was born in India in 1962 and she flew on Shuttle...
