Scenarios and data
Templates, building your own scenario, telemetry, and where files are kept.
Scenario templates
| Template | What it contains |
|---|---|
earth-orbit | A spacecraft in a 600 km circular orbit at 51.6°, with J2 and drag on. The best place to start. |
earth-orbit-epoch | The same orbit tied to a real UTC date, so the Earth’s rotation and the clock match real time. |
conjunction-demo | Two vehicles on crossing 600 km orbits that pass within about 6 km. |
earth-surface-launch | A launch from the Earth’s surface, with terrain. |
earth-moon | The Earth and Moon system. |
Building a scenario
Choose New scenario in the Mission Launcher to open the Scenario Composer. Add bodies and spacecraft, set orbits, and choose which models are active. A scenario can hold up to 8 bodies with full physics.
Saving and opening
Save a scenario with Save & Exit in the workspace, or from the Scenario Composer. Open it again with Open scenario in the launcher. A mission sequence is saved with its scenario.
Telemetry
The Plots window records and charts telemetry for the selected body.
- Choose Record to start sampling.
- Choose Stop when you have what you need.
- Choose Export CSV and pick a location.
The recording holds position, velocity, speed, mass, altitude, drag, thrust, throttle and propellant.
