Nice to see someone actually found out, that the radiators can be stowed.

Actually this was kind of a "test shot", I used a Thorton ISS scenario, I think somewhere in the 2001 launches. And I didn't touch anything :lol:
 
It's been so long since I actually just flew a mission in Orbiter, especially exploring somewhere new, instead of just trying out an addon for a few minutes before returning to real life. I'd forgotten how much I truly love this sim.

Last Sunday, my primary space station, Skylab-II re-entered Earth's atmosphere as planned.

As follow up, the third generation (in my Orbiter world) of the Skylab station was launched today, at 11:00 utc. Called the Polar Earth Observatory (PEO), Skylab was launched in a polar orbit from Cape Canaveral (not really realistic I know).

The first planned mission is the Italian/European Eridanus shuttle later this month.

This one should probably go in the biggest disaster thread, but that's for accidents.

Nothing accidental about this:

Didn't that actually happen at some point?
