STSORBIT: Space Shuttle Orbit Simulation
----------------------------------------
Program STSORBIT displays the orbit of the Space Shuttle on the screen.
This is a MINOR UPGRADE from Version 8918D, refining initial orbit based on
STS-30. Still a few bugs. Comments and suggestions are invited!
Suggested data for the initial orbits for STS-30 (Atlantis) are:
Orbital Time 90.33 minutes
Orbital Inclination 28.85 degrees
Launch Date 5/4/1989
Launch Time 14:46:58.975 EDT (use local time)
Based upon interpolation of NASA Television data as of Orbit 34, the
following adjustments should be added:
Orbital Time 90.85
Orbit Longitude -15.00
Orbit Time 8.8
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
