Welcome to OrbiterWiki

OrbiterWiki is back online! We are terribly sorry about the downtime. We know that users who have contributed a lot must have felt rather frustrated when everything disappeared. Fortunately, no data was lost and everything is back to normal. We promise that this will not happen again!

This wiki is concerned with material relating to Orbiter, a space-flight simulator. On this wiki we are collecting information, documentation, plug-ins and other stuff:

Pilot section

• New to Orbiter? a good place to start.
• FAQ
• Orbiter tutorials - your first flight, how to fly to Mars, etc.
• List of Acronyms and Abbreviations
• List of Addons - custom ships, instruments, bases, orbital stations and even planets
• Celestial mechanics (article on Wikipedia) - what a pilot must know in order to understand how a ship behaves in space

Developer section

Information and documentation for developers:

• Addon Tutorials - various tutorials
• SDK documentation - how to write your own modules, instruments and spaceships
• Tools - a list of tools which may be useful to addon developers
• References - Blueprints, schematics, etc.

Contributor section

• Before you start editing, please read the OrbiterWiki Rules.

Important for contributers: Discussion thread for Guidelines, etc on m6 Forum Orbiter Wiki Thread on m6 Forum

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.
