While usually mission control would perform such tasks and uplink the results, the Shuttle has an on-board computer for calculating burn sequences to reach orbital targets. This functionality is controlled via SPEC 34. | While usually mission control would perform such tasks and uplink the results, the Shuttle has an on-board computer for calculating burn sequences to reach orbital targets.

As of | As of December 2020, the implementation in FG supports a quasi-Hohmann transfer computation. From a lower, reasonably circular orbit, item 28 calls a numerical trajectory solver which fits burn parameters to reach the target. The results are stored as PEG-7 targets and can directly be used in the MNVR display. | ||
