After the JWS observation, the impact chance for the Moon is rated to 4%: https://scienceblog.com/564966/space-rock-that-threatened-earth-now-eyes-the-moon-with-4-impact-chance

As I undertood the blog, the focus of that investigation is more to estimate the size and find out more about the material, to estimate the potential damage of an potential impact and it's also important to know that stuff to plan deffence messures (in the low probability case of a collision)...

Now we point one of our best instrument to this little rock: https://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2025/02/10/james-webb-space-telescope-will-study-asteroid-2024-yr4/ :cool:

Hello, this asteroid which has been discovered on 27 December 2024, will hopefully flyby earth very close, but acutal there is a 1 in 77 chance that it hit earth on 22 December 2032. This might be the highest value since a long time... Today it has been rated 3 on the Torino scale...

I just tested it with "deepstar 3 lander" but it's not working yet (however it works with older version). I guess I figured out why: The deepstar 3 lander has thrusters which are shared for pitch, yaw and roll, this cannot be handeled by the ap at the moment.

🤣 Space Shuttle: No, it has no Hover Engines for touch down and you would need the ET for braking in Lunar Orbit,... Ok I modified the description 😎 Lunar Module like: Definitely yes, I tested it with the deepstar lander, but I guess to remember there was trouble controlling the AMSO LM by the...

THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND Base Land Autopilot is an autopilot which can land many "delta glieder like" vessel with hover engine on celistial "moon like bodies" (If gravity is not to strong ) with no or tiny atmosphere with anti terrain collision. It is...

Hello, it tooks a while but now it's working. I guess Orbiter sometimes deletes that line, but now, in the last try, it added the "; === Subdirectory locations" comment automaticly. The line was added at buttom by me and moved was upward during launch, so maybe this sometimes not works and the...

Earth looks like this: I used https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/releases Assets->Orbiter-x86.zip orbiter.cfg seems to be overwritten by it's original content each time I launch as scenario.
