Orbiter Glossary

[Kaito]

Okay, so I try really hard to follow along with what you guys are talking about with Orbital plane and what not. But, some of the terms and Abbreviations escape me (well, most of them do actually). I had no idea what PeA or ApA stood for until I read an online manual.

So, I'm kindly asking if you guys would just post 3 or 5 words or abbreviations that are used in Space talk or the Various MFD's (the orbit MFD has tons of them, and i wish i knew what they all meant .

This would not only be helpful to me, but probably to others along the road.

Works quite well. I'm an admin on UnrealTournament forums where we have it. It's very useful and can create a home database for peeps.
