Good evening everyone! I'm Strebor, a relatively new visitor to this community. I've been using Orbiter for several years, but am just exploring more advanced features such as add-on vehicles and MFDs. I'm also interested in trying to utilize NASA's GMAT platform for calculating trajectories that I want to fly in Orbiter. Any guidance or recommendations are much appreciated. Good to meet you all!

Hi and welcome.

Planning trajectories in GMAT is definitely possible, coordinate systems are probably the biggest thing to watch out for. There is also a difference of MJD between Orbiter and GMAT: Orbiter = TDBModJulian+29999.5

Thank you for the heads up! I'll be sure to inquire if I have issues with it.

I'm having difficulty following a link from Altea Aerospace to download the XR2. Is there something that I need to do on this site to have access to that?
