My first SSV mission! Thank you to all those who helped me (Snax Indy91)
Later today I plan deorbit and landing!
Now, they have been dismantled, for use by another enterprise - SpaceX.
Video from one of the Shuttle-Mir missions. Crew is singing Moscow Nights. Displays the sleeping quarter and Spacelab interior.
I don't know what I sent to space, but it looks interesting!
Like putting safety aside, would it work in theory/on paper?
55 years ago today. RIP all Cosmonaut Viktor Patsayev, Georgy Dobrovolsky, Vladislav Volkov.
Excellent representation of the Shuttle computers and procedures (MPS propellant dump, programming burns etc), with most switches and pushbuttons modelled, and most OPS modes implemented to a high degree of realism. Good model of Shuttle. Abort modes are not implemented. All cockpits are of the 'glass' variant, and look very pretty.
I think checklists on Orbiterforum are a bit outdated, so best is to mix the NASA checklists + Orbiterforum ones.
Sweet views! Orbiter 2024 is beautiful, only complemented by the shuttle.
MPS dump was going on while I did my OMS1, now time to prepare for OMS2!
The only in-flight abort ever executed by STS, by space shuttle Challenger.
