NASSP 7.0 CSM in Earth Orbit

Project Apollo for Orbiter (aka NASSP) simulates the Apollo missions to Earth orbit and the Moon, and is slowly expanding to simulate planned post-Apollo missions that never flew. The latest beta version features a near-full implementation of the control panels in the Command Module and Lunar Module, and an increasingly accurate simulation of the internal systems (e.g. electrical distribution, fuel cells). Also in the latest beta is support for the Virtual AGC software, which allows you to run precisely the same on-board guidance software as used by the real Apollo Guidance Computer. (More...)

Transfer orbit example

In spaceflight, rendezvous refers to the event in which two spacecraft meet. This does not neccessarily occur in space: a rendezvous can also happen on the surface of a celestial body.

A rendezvous usually takes place in orbit, e.g. when spacecrafts are travelling to a space station. If two spacecraft are close enough to each other (< 300m) and travel in similar orbits they are said to rendezvous. In such a situation, both spacecraft can stay close to the space station with minimal corrections (More...)

Please note that at the moment OrbiterWiki links are entirely case-sensitive, including the first letter! This means that OrbiterWiki:Sandbox is not the same as OrbiterWiki:sandbox. Sorry about the inconvenience, but that was necessary for the API functions. We are working on changing this to be entirely case-insensitive.
