There's a guide posted from its Wikipedia page:

Thanks. "Using a suitable prediction formula, the state (position and velocity) at any point in the past or future can be estimated to some accuracy". I have seen some TLE scenario editors. But not sure about the prediction formula.

I got it to work but when I push Load TLE. I ask for a file?

gattispilot · Jan 4, 2022

made the changes

but when I load tLE. it needs a file.

you need a TLE.txt file.
loaded this:

mirtlefile

And I suppose the MIR gets placed at the correct place for the time?

Gargantua2024 · Jan 4, 2022

That's the idea

gattispilot · Jan 10, 2022

STS-76. Not sure about shuttle orientation?

Nor sure about MIR orientation either?

gattispilot · Jan 10, 2022

Here all 4 MEEPs are placed and the DM's camera is captured

I think I have the DM dock info wrong?

That insert looks like a picture from NASA's 3D world.

I can't tell if the dock to the MIR is correct.

It appears the dock follows the bottom fin which is 30 degrees off center.

I would think the MIR would be 90 degrees?

the dock parameters for the top dock is
CreateDock(_V(-0.042, 0, 2.136), _V(0, 0, 1), _V(0, 1, 0));

I found this of sts 89

. I saw a grapple target on the bottom. And Notice the solar panels are not on it. There are covers? where they attached. I have added that so that if a solar panel is not attached then the covers appear

STS 76 and MIR. Not sure what the orientation of the MIR should be. The orbit was loaded from the TLE

gattispilot · Jan 16, 2022

STS 84. Left is the real one right is orbiter

STS 76 and MIR.

Looks great but the Mir modules were either on the wrong positions or missing at all.

Here's the configuration of Mir during the following shuttle missions:

Thanks. I think my dock info might be wrong:


hDockODS1 = CreateDock(_V(0, 1.58, 10.16), _V(0, 1, 0), _V(0, 0, 1));
hDockODS2 = CreateDock(_V(0.0000, 2.2250, 8.2220), _V(0, 1, 0), _V(0, 0, 1));//.042

The difference is the position.
