Ravenstar return to Kennedy from a one orbit flight.

Glad I'm not the only one that does those. Some days that's all I have time for.

It looks like it's either SSD Executor or one of those addons based on EVE ships.

That'd be it, yes. [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3948"]EVE Chimera[/ame]

I still enjoy taking a quick spin once around the Earth in the XR2, that never gets old. For me it's getting there and back that's interesting, the stuff that happens in between not so much. Not much of an EVA type. The cabin is just fine.

'over' the telescope. The RMS attach points still look undamaged after all these years . . .

FWIW, I've been going through the pictures from the last 4 years on here, it's just incredible how much more realistic visually wise orbiter has become, the newest beta even has the ability to simulate wind, that with the D3D9, Orbiter is truly impressive.

This is what happens when you are used to the European , instead of the .

My recent trips in virtual outer space.

Testing out the Saturn VB.

Checking out the Apollo CSM panel.

Now checking out the default Orbiter 2010 Space Shuttle. Together with the Hubble Space Telescope.

Looking around inside the Orbiter cabin.

Viewing the launch of the Orbiter Enterprise.

This is now inside the Orbiter Enterprise.

Continued from above.

Back outside the Orbiter Enterprise.

This one is on the night side. So you may have to turn up your brightness. If you can't see that the lights are on inside the cabin as seen from the outside.

What's with the funky interstage between the S-II and the upper stage?

What's with the funky interstage between the S-II and the upper stage?

It's from an alternate reality novel in which NASA goes to the Mars in the Eighties. The big bulge is were the lander is contained, and above that is actually a Skylab module for the crew on the voyage.

MEM - Mars Excursion Module (I'm not sure if it's correct English term as I read Baxter's "Voyage" in Polish.)

Currently trying to fly the AMSO Saturn V to Deimos, from the surface of Mars. Launch went well, albeit with quite a lot of wasted fuel. However, in my reentry test, it's proving quite problematic...

Okay, it's impossible. The parachutes won't open in the thin martian atmosphere.

Flew Apollo 4(SA-501). That's the unmanned mission to test out the Saturn V rocket.

Using NASSP on that mission. And from the looks of that, it was a success and works in Orbiter 2010.:tiphat:

The mega-sized Antonov 225 travels to the Kennedy Space Center to perform tests for certification of it for carrying the next generation spaceplanes and components of different rockets (e.g. tanks for the core stage of the SLS). Apparently NASA, Roscosmos and ASVI are interested in paying for completing the second airframe for this purpose and serving as the back-up for the mega-payload transportation service.

Hey, I read part of that one!

I've been to the Moon...

After I finished to build The Comet Rest, my first station in Earth Orbit, I spent the last months to learn step by step how to fly to the Moon. As I've just set up my first permanent base on the Moon a few days ago, I want to thank again Martin Schweiger, addons developers (vessels and MFDs), tutorial makers and OF members who made it all possible for me. Your shared works and knowledge are really fantastic.


First flyby of the Moon before a free return (CTV+Viking hab)


Leaving home…


…and heading to the Moon for a week of low lunar orbits (CTV+Viking star).


Release of a Proba microsatellite.


An Antares capsule (the real one from FOI) docked to Malerba station (completed with a Pulsar module) for a 170 days mission in lunar orbit.


The early Heinlein Moon base.


A payload specialist is inspecting the just delivered supplies.


After resupplying of the moon base, a DGIV is directly back to the Earth…


…with an inverted aerobraking. I can't remember how many DGIV I destroyed…


…before being able to land safely.


Now I need to fly heavier missions in order to improve this Moon base. At the end, I will use the wonderful spaceport built by Greg "Burchismo" Burch ( [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2316"]Lunar Spaceport HEINLEIN for Orbiter 2006[/ame] ). This will be the starting point of my future flights further from the Earth.

Happy orbiting to all.
