Universal Pointing MFD question

[BenSisko]

Ok. For the TORVA in the v4.1x Shuttle Fleet the UNIVPTG is the appropriate MFD. After completing the RPM, the shuttle should be ~ 180m below the ISS on the stations R-Bar. The last items entered via UNIVPTG to complete the RPM would be:

ITEM 14, DATA 5 (Body vector)
ITEM 15 DATA 270 (Pitch)
ITEM 19 (trk)

This establishes the proper attitude to start.
Keep the ISS centered in the docking port centerline camera using translational thrusters only.

When ready to start the TORVA, click on ITEM 21 to disable tracking.
Then click on MOD to get to the DAP page, then
ITEM 10 DATA 0.13
ITEM 23 DATA 0.13
Click on MOD again (twice) to get back to UNVPTG display (NOT UNVPTG2!)

Enter
ITEM 14 DATA 5 (body vector)
ITEM 15 DATA 179 (pitch)
ITEM 19 (trk)

Keep the ISS centered in the centerline docking port camera using translational thrusters only.

When less that 5 meters away from docking, click on ITEM 21
to disable tracking and use thrusters in translation to continue to docking.

Establish yourself underneat the station on the R-Bar.

Ok, but how do you do that?

Ok, but how do you do that?

Be in one line with the center of Earth and the space station.

And what MFD can be used for setting this attitude?

Attitude????

R-Bar is relative position. R-Bar or [math]\bar{r}[/math] is the direction from the ISS to Earth.

Noted. Thanks for clarifying this.
