Hey, this is Zatnikitelman of the Orbiter Forums I'm not exactly sure if I'm in the right place here so I'm sorry if I accidentally edit like an article or something. But would it be possible to provide a short discussion on Orbiter and its use of elements as well as its own unique elements? In building my space station, I've noticed that when I copy the station's elements over to a new scenario file and change the date, the orbit doesn't properly propagate as the station is in the same position I left it in which of course, it shouldn't be unless I just happen to find a date where this happens. Thanks, Zat

Did you use the ELEMENTS line or the state vector (RVEL + RPOS)? --Urwumpe 12:06, 17 September 2007 (MSD)
