Included spacecraft Orbiter (simulator)

the delta glider in low venusian orbit, showing 3d virtual cockpit, including multi-functional displays (mfds) , head-up display (hud)



delta-glider mk.4
a delta wing spaceplane, rather easy fly , first steps orbiter. variant of delta-glider mk.4 included, delta-glider-s, trades of propellant capacity scramjet propulsion system, @ cost of requiring fuel main engine fuel tank. s possible travel earth mars delta-glider, making possible practice interplanetary missions. technically single stage orbit spaceplane.
shuttle-a
a small space freighter, can transport 6 large cargo containers total mass of 120 metric tons. doesn t have aerodynamic hull @ home on moon , mars. while possible launch , land spacecraft earth, particularly when empty, lack of aerodynamic lift coupled earth s high gravity , thick atmosphere make difficult , fuel-costly operation. cargo containers equipped automatic parachutes. using parachutes, s possible simulate cargo run lunar base earth , back, dropping cargo while still in upper atmosphere. high inertia , inferior aerodynamics make harder fly in atmosphere delta-glider.
shuttle-pb
a small personal spacecraft, high agility , futuristic performance. main purpose serve simple sdk example add-on developers, lacks many complex details of other included ships in orbiter 2d or 3d cockpits or animations.
dragonfly
a complex manned space tug construction of space stations. simulates various subsystems @ higher complexity other standard spacecraft in orbiter, being example of technical possibilities of orbiter s sdk. flight model within possibilities of current technology, making so-called realistic spacecraft.
luna-ob1
a fictional wheel shaped station in lunar orbit, inspired space station v beginning of 2001: space odyssey. rotating space station, challenge dock it.
carina
a small fictional science satellite, used payload on orbiter s space shuttle. inert payload currently. based on proposed european re-entry capsule experiment, launched on ariane 4, later resulted in ard.
