OrbitMFD is a multi-functional display that is included in the Orbiter basic package. The MFD displays the orbit of the vessel the user has control and the body the ship is orbiting as well as the orbit of a target vessel or natural body.

|MnA||Mean Anomaly||Degrees (°)||Ficticious position of the body along the orbit from the perapsis as if it was moving at a constant velocity
 
|-
 
|MnL||Mean Longitude||Degrees (°)||Ficticious position of the body along the orbit from the perapsis as if it was moving at a constant velocity
