Awesome news! Not really a programmer here, but as someone who has followed Orbiter's development/evolution for over 20 years, this is just fantastic news! Thank you Martin! -RODION

Hello, anyone has any information on launch trajectory of the Tianwen-1 Mars Mission? Just initial ascent path to orbit is fine, thank you. -RODION

Can these things be used for Orbiter nowadays?

Landing Site Location, and current position of lander and YUTU-2 Took a while to figure this out, but I did. I finally located the *exact* landing spot of Chang'e-4, after analyzing the recently released landing video. The image below is taken from the LROC WMS site, using using higher...

Replay of Rocket Lab Electron launch, November 11, 2018.

https://sputniknews.com/world/201810111068785038-accident-soyuz/ "According to preliminary data, the Soyuz accident occurred because one of the four first stage units hit the second stage and pressure dropped, the source reported." Anyone else confirm this from another source?

Also, note that the stack was teetering/swaying a little prior to 1st stage sep.

The Soyuz MS-10 launch experienced a booster (2nd stage didn't ignite or partial ignition I presume?) failure and did a ballistic trajectory. As of this writing the capsule is expecting to reenter and land in Siberia. RODION

Recent Juno images show bluish poles, so I tried to replicate that in my Jupiter lamp. -RODION

Yes, I correct myself... he is STILL my favorite astronaut, thanks for the reminder. Felt like sketching, so I sketched him during his Gemini 3 days...

I am still speechless. He IS my favorite astronaut. -RODION

Thanks! :)

Hi guys, just showing off my hand-painted Jupiter lamp This lamp depicts the multi-color bands of the Jovian atmosphere, as well as a few storms, including the Great Red Spot. It's not only a beautiful room or desk lamp, it's accurate enough to be used by educators to teach about the planet...

A very short hop in the Vanguard using Orbiter 2016 in D3D9 mode. Hypersonic Flight from Davao City to Manila, simulated in Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator - YouTube[/youtube]

Is there any way to flatten user-made base runways so they don't undulate with the underlying terrain mesh? Thanks! EDIT: I just found about tileedit's "rudimentary capabilities for editing elevation data", but is there any other method? EDIT: Disregard this query, I found this thread...

Thank you, I'll try this. ---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ---------- Worked! Thanks!

Considering that the download size for the entire high resolution earth for Orbiter 2016 is really huge, I was wondering if there is a way to get surface tiles (and if possible, also the elevation data) specifically for a small area (around 500x500 km)? I need to make a video about a launch...

Thank you!:cheers:

Is it possible to extract/export telemetry data from an Orbiter launch, and then somehow convert that to something that can be displayed in Google Earth, such as a KML file? Thanks.
