'''AMSO (Apollo Mission Simulator for Orbiter)''' is an add-on for [[Orbiter]] 2010, created to reproduce the flights of the American Apollo Program, exploring the Moon from 1968 to 1972. The addon currently simulates missions from Apollo 8 to Apollo 17.
  
 
The main purpose of AMSO is to give users the possibility to live in first person this great challenge of our century, letting them, at the same time, choose the way they prefer to succeed.

The user will be able to accomplish his mission flying the vessels completely manually (and this is a big challenge), or with the aid of some clever autopilot programs, that reproduce some features of real Apollo guidance system, created by LazyD; those will assist the Commander in some crucial phases of the flight, without depriving Orbinauts of their fun.

an example is the accurate [[Virtual cockpit]] for both CSM and LM, for the moment unusable, but so accurate that gives a great immersion in phases of flight like [[Docking|docking]] and [[landing]].

For Docking manoeuvre, a full-working and realistic Crewman Optical Alignment Sight (COAS) is provided on both CSM and LM.

Complex moon scenarios will allow pioneers to explore the surface of historical landing locations, with craters, mountains, rilles and particular soil characteristics; astronauts, with completely new meshes and fully movable visors, will have the possibility to plant a flag, deploy SWC and ALSEP experiments, drill the soil and collect rock samples dynamically generated, and on the way back to Earth, during J-type missions, to retrieve useful materials from the fully simulated CSM Sim-bay.

The “little child” of Wernher von Braun, a three-staged, liquid propelled, 111 meters tall rocket will send you in a parking orbit around Earth at first, expending the first two stages, and will then use the remaining fuel of the third stage to shoot you toward the Moon. Lots of small and big details make this rocket a real piece of art, starting from explosive devices to the interstage rotation when hit by flames.

This 3rd J-type mission concluded the manned exploration of the Moon; after a night launch, Eugene Cernan and the geologist Harrison Schmitt (the first scientist to go to the Moon) explored the valley of Taurus-Littrow, remaining on the surface for 75 hours; using the last LRV, they conducted deep geological studies, discovering a particular orange soil made of melted silicates.
