That would be my guess. :cheers:

double current_fuel = GetPropellantMass(hProp1); double max_fuel = GetPropellantMaxMass(hProp1); double fuel_fraction = current_fuel/max_fuel; SetAnimation(anim_FROST, fuel_fraction);

Turn the tower Catch Sequence on: Focus BC_TOWER, press B. :cheers:

Attachment Manager. Possibly. Try it and see! Good luck! :cheers:

Updated scenarios for 03 July 2026 launch date.

BrianJ updated Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory with a new update entry: 260704 Read the rest of this update entry...

Cool, glad it got into orbit OK (y) Here's a launch scenario for today, starts at 05:30 UTC, Swift vectors from JPL. If you go by the reported drop time of 08:36 UTC, and are over the drop zone, a launch azimuth of 105 worked quite well for me (final orbit 360x420km, Rinc. 0.13) :cheers:

Well, here's a launch scenario for tomorrow (attached) starting at 06:00 UTC, Swift vectors from JPL Horizons. As before, if they use the same drop zone, my estimates for drop times based on Orbiter would be: 09:16 UTC 108 azimuth 09:18 UTC 110 azimuth 09:20 UTC 112 azimuth Not sure why that...

Thanks guys. I wondered what had happened today. I always have to dig quite hard to find any updates on this mission.

Here's another launch scenario (attched below) for 06:40 UTC 01 July, Swift vectors from JPL Horizons. If they use the same drop zone as before I estimate drop at: 09:50 UTC 108 azimuth 09:52 UTC 110 azimuth 09:54 UTC 112 azimuth :cheers:

"India Today" reports that today's launch was scrubbed due to weather. Possible attempt tomorrow 01 July at 09:43 UTC. :cheers: Edit: Ninja'd by Voyager_VI! :LOL:

Hey, glad you had some fun with it! (y)

Updated scenarios for 30 June Link launch date. New Link module with +Z RCS translation, fixes small bug with OrbNml+/- attitude function. Includes optional Bucholz.flt file to flatten Kwajalein runway (for Earth Hi-Res texture users).

Here's a patch .zip with a new link.msh and link.dll module that has "Forwards" RCS added (I can't be bothered with that flipping back and forth thing). Also a new L1011 take-off scenario, starts at 07:20 UTC 30 June, Swift state vectors for that time from JPL Horizons. I'll try and do a full...
