PART 7: XR2 Wideawake to Brighton Beach Tutorial (De-orbit & landing)

PART 7 of 7.

This is a 7 part, full feature ORBITER 2010-P1 tutorial! We start from the ground at Wideawake International in the XR2 Ravenstar. I will show you how to prepare for launch, take-off, and fly the XR2 to the Moon with a landing on pad 1 at Brighton Beach. We have a crew habitat module loaded in the cargo bay, along with some extra main fuel. We will discard the extra main fuel container before ejecting LEO for the Moon.

I started the retro burn when I was just above 180 seconds from base (Base Sync MFD).

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing with us.

Great tutorial. Very nice touchdown. I've never seen anyone land on the moon just using the outside visuals. I always use that VOR/VTOL MFD, but it looks easier the way you did it. (But I think you have a lot more experience than me in either case, so I'm sure that factors in.)

Nice. When I switch to 2010 edition, I must definitely learn how to use TransX. I've been using IMFD with the 2006 edition because I thought it easier to work with - it is more beginner-friendly :-)
