hmmmmm, I thought I fixed that :P. I'll check into it.

Actually, there's a way you can, just set your ejection burn to 0, and set up your scenario so you depart the planet/object's sphere of influence on that date. This works great with asteroids, but I do not recommend doing this with planets. I've thought about doing just that, and I may do it...

Oh god, Micheal Bay destroying 2001: A Space Odyssey. I hope he never sees this video, he might get the idea and actually do it! lol.

(136617) 1994 CC is a Near Earth Object that happens to be one of the few trinary asteroid systems known.  The two moons around 1994 CC were discovered in 2009 by a team using the Arecibo Oberservatory

Actually, those are prograde, outward, and plane change RELATIVE to the orbit of the Earth. Stick these into TransX, and it will tell you what orbit you the different holding orbits to get into.

When of the most notoriously difficult things to do in Orbiter is the navigation and flight of low-thrust spacecraft (ie, ion-thrusters) like Dawn, Hayabusa, or Deep Space 1. So to go along with my regular Trajectory Planner, I've made a program for designing trajectories for low-thrust...

That one's actually kinda funny :rofl:. Then again, I actually laughed at most of the anti-jokes, am I sick? lol.

No, this is for simulating the effect of oblation (the fact that planets are wider at their equators then their poles).

The Major is Jupiter, and the Target is Io. It's also zoomed in to target.

Yes you can. It's not technically the best way, that would be by putting yourself into an elliptical orbit around Jupiter, and then sling-shotting around the 4 Galilean moons to bleed off deltaV. However for Orbiter, it presents a huge problem for planning and performing (regardless of the...

Isn't this old news? Its been announced that Obama wants to cancel constellation for a few months now.

Oh wow, I know I'm going to miss some, but let's see: DA-20 Katana (pilot) DA-40 Diamond Star (pilot) BE-19 Sport (pilot) Grob-115 (pilot, but only one short flight) Cessna 172 (SAR spotter and navigator) CC-130E Hercules (SAR spotter and navigator) CC-150 Polaris (a converted A310) B737-200...

You think that will freak out people? Dang you should hear some of the things I want to play over the intercom when briefing the passengers: Me: Hello ladies and gentleman, this is your captor, ahhh, captain speaking. On our way to our destination of Calgary, we need to make a small...

...when flying the space shuttle causes you to consistently start you final approach too high in real life. Instructor: Ya, you're a little too high. Me: Sorry, forgot this wasn't the space shuttle. Instructor: Ahhhhh, what?

I've been waiting for something like this for years!!! THANK YOU!

Ok, go to "File" then to "Change Orbiter Folder" and make sure it says "C:\Orbiter" the default is to a different folder, that is likely it then. EDIT: I just realized that this WON'T fix the above problem, I was thinking of a different type of problem. ---------- Post added at 01:22 AM...

Make sure you use the files that end in "cr.DAT", not just ".DAT".

Wow, I remember writing that years ago, lol :P I even did a Latin translation of it, although the translation wasn't that great.

Nope, the Galileo probe was the only one.

The Probe is all powerful, IT can make the unbelievers go away! HAIL PROBE!!!!! :cheers::cheers::probe:
