MFD to help whith Deorbit Burns

[Woo482]

Hello is thear a MFD that tells me when to deorbit so that I can land at KSC ?

 

[Whatu]

Sure you havent heard of AeroBrake MFD? look for it on Orbithangar.

 

[Woo482]

I will try it out now Thanks

BaseSync MFD is also your friend, it's got a DEO (DEOrbit) program which computes the optimal time to burn given landing site, anticipation angle and reentry angle.

OK thanks you two I just used aero brake MFD to land at Edwards after Takeing off from KSC

 

[Whatu]

Aerobrake works like magic when trying to land, glide, aerobrake.. whatever.
It definitely made me learn to re-enter atmosphere

 

[Woo482]

ok and Is theare any good tutorials for aero break mfd?

You can also very well use the latest IMFD as it has nearly all functions of BaseSyncMFD.

All I miss would be the possibility to define a delta azimuth deadband, so I don't need to have a plane change during the deorbit burn at all.

For the DG-XR1, you can use for deorbit: Ant = 45°, ReA = -1.2°, Alt=120k. Just increase the time to maneuver until you have minimum dV. Done. Now just reenter with standard procedures, regulate deceleration to 16 m/s² and do a nice HAC turn.

I'm using the AerobrakeMfd for re-entry at cape canaveral whit the shuttle.
I set the TGT and the yellow line appears near the gray line.

After this as I make to understand when and for how much time do the deorbit burn .
