 Space flight simulator
ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours.

700 MB spazio su disco But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background. Good starting points are JPL's Basics of Space Flight, and R. Braeunig's Rocket & Space Technology. Orbiter is a space flight simulator based on Newtonian mechanics. Its playground is our solar
system with many of its major bodies - the sun, planets and moons. You take control of a
spacecraft - either historic, hypothetical, or purely science fiction. Orbiter is unlike most commercial
computer games with a space theme - there are no predefined missions to complete,
no aliens to destroy and no goods to trade. Instead, you will get an idea about what is involved
in real space flight - how to plan an ascent into orbit, how to rendezvous with a space
station, or how to fly to another planet. It is more difficult, but also more of a challenge. Some
people get hooked, others get bored. Finding out for yourself is easy - simply give it a try. Orbiter
is free, so you don't need to invest more than a bit of your spare time. -*- Ecco alcune delle schermate di avvio e volo:
