Question Shuttle Fleet

[myles]

Hi everyone,

I've read all the documentation and made sure I've installed the Shuttle Fleet + Expansion + ISS Fleet correctly. However, there seems to be no documentation on how to re-stow the OBSS. Grappling isn't a problem, but when I try to re-stow it, it doesn't reattach, and floats away. Also, are there any joint number tables I can find for simulating the STS missions, using the SSRMS and SRMS? I can't seem to find any info on this. Also, are there any links I can go to to find where to put the payloads? I want to accurately simulate the missions, so I'd rather put the modules in the correct positions

Thanks a bunch,
Myles

As far as the SRMS arm positions look in the actual shuttle checklists. A number of them can be found here. Look for Flight Data Files.

Thanks for the link! I've noticed that some of the tables use X, Y, and Z in place of SP, SY, and EP, are they the same thing, but they've just changed the letter to X Y and Z?

I haven't looked at the tables you are referring to but I expect that the coordinates would refer to a location using the shuttle's cartesian coordinate system. Note that this is different to the coordinates in Orbiter because Orbiter uses a left hand coordinate system, whereas the real-life shuttle uses a right hand system:

Shuttle | Orbiter
----------------
+X | +Z (forward)
+Y | +X (port)
+Z | -Y (down)
