hi,
(I put this in fan creations because I 'created' the simulator) - if it belongs in another bucket, sorry).
I remember hearing an episode of Lave Radio (which I love), where somebody wanted to dock with Coriolis station. Sorry to forget the name.
There is an excellent space flight simulator that will let you do this, using real physics: Orbiter Space Flight Simulator is the work of Dr. Martin Schweiger, and is freely available.
A number of user-additions have been created, and it's very amenable to home-built simulators. Here's a picture from my sim, docking with Space Station V from 2001.
Kindly ignore the fact that i'm coming in upside down :smilie:
You can fly each leg of the moon flight, from launch, to docking, to winged re-entry to earth. You can also do the moon trip.
Personally, I enjoy winged re-entry, using little or no fuel to guide a ship to runway threshold at precisely the needed speed.
Could do it all day long
