Controlling Soyuz re-entry

[george7378]

Hi all,

I have the Soyuz TMA from OrbitHnagar, but I can't control the AoA (or indeed any other element of the capsule's movement) during re-entry. Does anyone else have this craft? Do I just have to make sure all this is done before jettisoning the other two modules?

Thanks.

Which Soyuz TMA are you referring to?

Could you please post the link to it on OH?

Thanks.

I don't think this is a problem with the add-on itself.
The Soyuz does a ballistic re-entry, meaning no control at all.
Also please someone correct me if im wrong with that.
Thanks.

The Soyuz does not always do a ballistic re-entry.
The Soyuz is designed to make a standard re-entry.
A ballistic re-entry only occurs if something has not worked properly.

Ballistic re-entries can be dangerous due to the high G-loads experienced by the crew inside (up to 8.5 G)

Hi,

Here is the spacecraft:

Thanks. It is supposed to have an auto-re-entry (CTRL + E), but it doesn't work.

Try the Soyuz included in the ISS V2.0 package - it's brilliant!
*Note: You will also need to install Project R-7 in order for it to work.

the reentry zone for soyuz is fairly large, so with the use of aerobrake MFD you should be able to get with in the zone.
