The payloads for STS-38 were two satellites, an SDS2 (USA-67) and an HS-376 (Prowler).... Fortunately both satellites have Orbiter add-ons already, with SDS2 being included in the STS-28 package The configuration for STS-38 should be identical with the image below:

Every mainstream media still considers Crew-9 as a "rescue mission" when in reality it is definitely NOT

There's even a later version from 9.2.2022 https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZvwmbVZK16Fk3vvLwHtu7DrWQ9H2yBaYqgX

Those were Kordylewski Clouds, they're very different from actual rings

This one's most likely artificial as the paper said it was detected at an altitude of 600 km

Just approximately 16 million years before the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction.....could the fallout of this ring might've triggered it?

It is only enabled after launching from the Moon (or aborting it Apollo 10 style)

Just for fun, I modified my Canaveral.cfg to make the Artemis-era structures around Pad 39B permanently seen in simulation Here's the code if you want to try it: ;;;--------------LC-39B-Artemis-Era--------------- ;;;------Default-Orbiter-2016-Installation-------- MESH FILE SLS/WATERTOWER...

Jared Isaacman becomes the SpaceX Leonov And also Sarah Gillis

Views of the "skywalker" ladder on Polaris Dawn

Nope...Soyuz 32 (1979) and Soyuz MS-22 (2022–2023) did it first Soyuz 32's crew returned aboard Soyuz 34 as a precaution in the aftermath of Soyuz 33's in-orbit engine failure on the final rendezvous/docking approach to Salyut 6 And we all know Soyuz MS-22 suffered a coolant leak last year

For those who still think that the former Starliner crew are stuck on the space station without any means of return, may I remind you of that one old BBC article from 1983 claiming that the crew aboard Salyut 7 at the time were "stranded" in space after a Soyuz rocket exploded (T-10-A) on the...

It's not an Orbiter screenshot. It's an actual official SpaceX render of the mission when they announced it on Twitter

For historical context that I forgot to apply in the scenarios I gave: The parasol sunshield was unfurled on May 26th The main solar array wasn't fully extended until June 7th when Pete Conrad removed the metal strap that jammed it during launch on May 14th The twin-pole sunshade was installed...

A new private Crew Dragon mission, Fram2, will become the first manned spaceflight flying in a polar orbit around the Earth. Configuration looks similar to that of Inspiration4 Mission insignia

The docking target must always be aligned with the crosshair mounted on the station (similar to how Apollo astronauts guide their craft on docking with their lunar modules)

I've converted Skylab's TLE data to scenario parameters readable by Orbiter. The dates represent some of the significant events during the station's operational lifetime

NASA's still-unnamed Uranus Orbiter and Probe (UOP) concept was selected as the highest priority for the next Flagship-class mission according to the 2023-2032 Planetary Decadal Survey. As of 2023, it is planned to be launched from a Falcon Heavy around 2031 at the earliest, and will arrive at...

Yeah the mainstream media blew the situation very out of proportion. Like one day I saw a post that they're about to run out of oxygen in three days, like they're in a freakin space station with years-long life support in place... there's no real danger to it unless some random space debris is...

Yep, in theory, the CMGs have the ability to track the Sun
