STS-132 Undocking on 5/23/10

Atlantis undocks from the ISS at 15:20 UTC. After backing away for about 16 minutes, the Moon appears behind the station.

First successful airless landing at the base I wanted to land at. Actually, it's my first successful accurate landing at a base.

I launched a James Cook from LEO to the Moon, undocked both gliders and landed them. The first landed a few kilometers away from the Apollo 11 site, and the second landed here at Brighton. I'm on my way to visit all of the planets, so in a bit I'll launch both gliders and head out to Venus (though I won't try landing there! :lol

Congratulations :thumbup:

Onwards and upwards, as they say: Mars encounter just a while ago, and now lining up for a hopeful Phobos flyby. The trip's been going swimmingly, having moved on from the Moon to Venus, then around Mercury towards Mars. Now I'll see if I can land accurately in the Martian atmosphere (I've never even been to Mars in Orbiter :lol This could turn out interesting.

This has definitely got to be my favourite thing in Orbiter: hours of drifting through space to see a half-lit planet slowly grow ahead of me (well, if I'm bothering to point along my velocity vector). No loading breaks or cutscenes, just space depicted how it should be. The Venus approach was especially stirring. (The music was mindblowingly appropriate, too. :lol

good luck! ^.^

I haven't gotten much Orbiter in the past few days, but yesterday night I pulled off a beautiful Phobos flyby on the way down to Low Martian Orbit.

Brought to you in widescreen for no really good purpose! :thumbup:

Excellent shots Izack. I'm really starting to like the JamesCook. Here are a couple of her prepping to launch for a station building mission in mars orbit. I'd love to haul more, but anytime I attach anything to docks 5 and 6, I get a ctd next time I launch the scenario.

Just after Buran-T separation and my first station module. Energia can be seen in the background:

After reaching orbit I attached a URMS to the core (I cheated for this one):

My 2nd module delivery is delayed because Payload Manager didn't stick the module properly. That's million dollar craft lost.

just a probe reentering the atmosphere.... but wait... what's that?



what the heck... did the Earth used drugs?!

but how did he get those drugs?

ahh, now I see, his (black with green) brother gave it to him:

Just wondering - what music was it?

 

[supersonic]

Apollo 11 Liftoff!

I probably should have put that in the post in the first place, derp. :embarrassed:
It was Two Funerals from the remade Battlestar Galactica soundtrack. It was unexpectedly fitting.

Apollo 11 Liftoff!

I thought that was a screen capture of the Apollo 13 film for a second.
That's a really nice shot, Supersonic! :thumbup:

 

[supersonic]

And the amazing thing is that was when I didn't have FRAPS. I took the picture with a camera.

:blink: You mean a physical camera pointed at the moniter? That is amazing.

I find that [nomedia="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3279"]Screen capture[/nomedia] works better than Fraps for screenshooting in Orbiter. Just Alt+F12 and it goes right into a folder in your Orbiter directory called (screenshots).

EDIT: I cannot for the life of me get this URL to display properly.

EDIT2: Nevermind. =.=

Yes that is what I did.

First time launching the Moonraker (had it for a while just never had any interest in it until now)

Having fun with Proton, MAKS, Buran and Scopesat. Buran launched two satellites (boosted by two Fregats) to Mars. MAKS serviced Scopesat, that was launched by Proton M/Breeze M. The cool thing about the Scopesat mission was that it watched the fast lunar impact of it's own Breeze M.

Whats wrong with just Alt+PrintScrn?

Never mind. I just downloaded it and it is awesome.
