Orbiter 2016 includes a number of spaceports modeled in the simulator. Below is a listing of those ports.
 
−
Any spaceport that indicates 0 visible pads includes a pad with zero dimension. These pads can be modified to include dimensions to make them useable. Any spaceport can be modified by the user and new spaceports can be added. Instructions to do so is included in Orbiter.pdf.<ref>Orbiter.pdf Orbiter Space Flight Simulator 2016 Edition, Martin Schweiger</ref>

 +
The Moon is [[Earth]]'s only natural satellite.
 +
 +
== Physical characteristics ==
 +
The moon is slightly ellipsoid about 1738 km in radius.
 +
 +
The radius of the moon is about a quarter that of the Earth. Because it is far away it looks small, about half a degree wide. The gravity on the moon is one-sixth of the Earth's gravity. It means that something will be six times lighter on the Moon than on Earth. The Moon is a rocky and dusty place. The Moon moves slowly away from the earth at a rate of 3.8cm per year, due to the effect of tidal dissipation.
