I was wondering, is anyone going to publish a Copernicus Mars transfer system addon? it's a hypothetical concept vehicle created by NASA to study architecture of a human mars mission transfer vehicle. I think it would make a great addition to orbiter. It's a large vessel and would require a mars lander and an earth return vehicle like an Orion spacecraft and an SLS (space launch system) rocket for the launcher to provide realism based on what NASA would use to get humans on mars in the 2030's. I guess we'll have to wait till after the 2018 test launch for an SLS/Orion addon because we'll have more accurate data on SLS after the first test launch.

These look pretty similar to what you're looking for, but I haven't tried to see if they work in Orbiter 2010.

That's kinda what I was talking about. Thanks. I'll download it tonight and give it a try. Looks like it's for an out of date orbiter though so it might have compatibility issues with 2010p1 like most older addons.

Now I hope someone will make an S.L.S addon with an updated Orion CEV as the payload.

The addons Pipcard linked should in Orbiter 2010, though I don't quite remember enough from trying them out a while back to make a guarantee.

As for a Orion or SLS, thinking there isn't enough data is a bit silly, since SLS and Orion either learn heavily on existing equipment(that there is data for) or use new forms of existing types of equipment that can be predicted reasonably enough to make a addon out of. To the point where there's a SLS addon with a download link in this thread, and a Orion thread here, both with a download link to a non-Orbiter Hangar source in the first post.

I know the Orion works, and while I'm not familiar with the SLS in it's current form, I did help a bit with it's config files a while back, and I would expect it works as well now or likely better than it did then.
