I didn't even know that existed on the XB-70. Would it be something similar to the animation of the Concorde?
Thanks for the information, I'll keep it in mind.

There are some videos around that show it, it does the similar role as the nose droop of the Concorde, but the only thing that moves is the outer windshield and the ramp ahead of it.

The first thing I want to accomplish is to make a .dll (and a .so on linux) that defines the 6 engines, an animation for the landing gear, and an animation for the folding wings (above mach 3).

The wing tips drop as soon as the XB-70 goes supersonic, but reach their maximum angle down at about Mach 3. The faster, the further down.

Launch of SSM-81, which I did yesterday. The goal of the mission? Visit the Canadian Space Station. And, for the first time, I'm not going alone since my friend @Snax already launched a shuttle of his own there! 👀

Lift-off of Space Shuttle Concorde from LC-39B!

The CSS is overtaking me on my way to space!

In orbit.

Concorde's arrival at the CSS. She is visible behind the tail of Snax's Amicitia from the station's cupola!

And docked on Port #2!

Amicitia and Concorde docked to the CSS.

Ho I totally forgot to post my sortie !!

Soooo, OV-108 Amicitia on pad 39B for LGS-2 flight (my Space program is called LGS Aerospace Corporation) to the Canadian Space Station ! Launch azimuth is 28.45° with a MECO altitude of 350'000ft.

Lift off of Amicitia, bringing science and belgian beer to the Canadian Space Station !

MECO confirmed, OMS-2 already performed, PLBDs are opened and RMS/Ku Ant deployed. RInc if 0.08° and currently at 170 by 170 nautical miles of altitude, coasting toward the CSS now.

And after a plane correction with an OMS burn, we now have a rendezvous point with the CSS. Passing above Incheon in South Korra 🇰🇷

Now that a debut of SPEC33 is implemented, using ITEM1 to get the datas (taken from the StateVectorSoftware specified in the .scn file I guess ?).
Then using SPEC34 with the new inputs implemented as well (I was completely improvising at this point but I'm glad I figured out the bits for this flight)

Burn in progress

And burn is complete, I'm glas it worked. Tho I'm not exactly on the station's R-bar.

And now docking using the CCTVs only ! That is so cool !
image-47.png

And docked ! At MET 001/18:37:19

Amicitia is now unloaded and we'll stay there for two weeks before going back on the surface.
This is mission control "beep" 😋
 
I never thought to see if she still worked in the current Orbiter rev.
Have to deorbited yet?
 
Now there's a blast from the past.
 
Well, here is a summary of my "progress" in the development of add-ons.
I managed to correctly load the Probe mesh, and now I need to find the coordinates of the mesh to make the animation correctly.
The animation seen in the video was achieved thanks to the source code of the Hubble Space Telescope which is in /orbiter_test/Orbiter/orbiter/Src/Vessel/HST in @Gondos' Orbiter for Linux.
 
they do but can't imagine the size of that download for just Aples only.
or himalaya :eek:
