The general philosophy on limit modeling is that they can be treated dependent on a user setting as 'soft', 'hard' and 'realistic'. The project contains code to simulate the various structural and aerodynamical limits as well as component failures based on sections 4 and 6 of the Space Shuttle crew manual. In the following, descriptions refer to the development version - the last stable or the release version may not have all features described. ascent, orbital insertion, de-orbit, entry, terminal area energy management and landing can be flown largely 'by the book', i.e. The authoritative source for procedures for trajectory management, instrumentation, limits and emergency procedures is the Space Shuttle Crew Operations Manual and currently a normal mission, i.e. The NASA technical reports server supplies a large base of wind tunnel and in-situ performance data of both the mated launch vehicle and the orbiter, and the aerodynamics of the simulated shuttle is based on these documents. In addition to the real avionics and control modes, the idea is also to provide various 'educational' modes and instruments in order to explore and appreciate certain aspects of a Shuttle mission more. While most of the time the real Shuttle is under the control of automatic guidance systems, there are fallback modes to control the spacecraft manually, the so-called CSS (control stick steering) modes, and it is these modes we primarily try to implement. The aim of the Shuttle Project is to create a highly realistic simulation of the capabilities of the Space Shuttle in FlightGear. 12.1 General Space knowledge and tutorials.12 Educational Links / Shuttle technical files.8.3 Nominal Operations Advanced Tutorial.5.2 Auxiliary Power Unit and Hydraulics System.4.7 Entry and touchdown structural and aerodynamical limits.4.4 A note on thruster efficiency in the atmosphere. 4 Aerodynamics of the Space Shuttle Orbiter.3.4.3 Key mapping for RCS translation DAP.3.1 The Orbital Maneuvering System engines.2.6 Ascent structural and aerodynamical limits.2.3 A note on aerodynamics of the mated vehicle.
