Ravenstar Ascent in Orbiter Simulator
This ascent in the XR-2 Ravenstar space shuttle for the 2010 Orbiter Simulator went well, but not quite good enough to meet up with the International Space Station. The reason for this is because I had a bank error for the early supersonic portion of the ascent and wound up a little bit too far south on the ascent track. I was also flying the Ravenstar with all the specific performance settings to minimum, with a full payload of cargo and passengers; this is my first attempt to rendezvous that configuration with the International Space Station. The other error I did not discover during the simulation was that I hit Ctrl-G to raise the landing gear on take-off instead of G. This opened the SCRAM intakes instead. I noticed the gear was still down, but I failed to notice the SCRAM intakes were open until the point where I would normally have opened them.
