OHM H-IIB HTV

Thank you all.:tiphat:

I thought my video was not as good as some videos done by others because I didn't know the actual flight plan. In my video, HTV would crash into ISS if the main thrusters failed to burn. I believe you can achieve more realistic flight using these mods.
Anyway, these mods are great. I hope you guys keep up the good work.

Actually, if you can put yourself on a collision course with the ISS- that is some really good flying :tiphat:

Looks like the HTV approaches the ISS from "below" (Nadir)

You can certainly recreate this in Orbiter.

Here are two add-ons to help you:

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1199"]Rendezvous MFD 050621[/ame]
[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4889"]Precession MFD[/ame]

The first one can help you to choose how you will approach the ISS- from in from, from below, etc. You want to try to approach from below.

The second one is really good- it will let you target a point offset from the ISS as your closest approach point. So, for example you could set a point 150m** "below" the ISS and arrive at that point- and no closer. It is VERY accurate. Do your rendezvous burn there. Then, use linear RCS to approach the ISS.

**150m is just a guess. I believe that there is a standard exclusion zone that craft may not enter until they slow down and have permission. I don't remember what that distance is. But, if you can find it, use that distance as the offset point instead.

Like Nikogori, I have never done a rendezvous and docking in Orbiter the "proper" way like what is depicted in the above images.
