In addition to the real avionics and control modes, the idea is also to provide various 'educational' modes and instruments such as to explore and appreciate certain aspects of a Shuttle mission more. | In addition to the real avionics and control modes, the idea is also to provide various 'educational' modes and instruments such as to explore and appreciate certain aspects of a Shuttle mission more. | ||
The [http://ntrs.nasa.gov NASA technical reports server] supplies a large base of wind tunnel and in-situ performance data of both the mated launch vehicle and the orbiter, and the aerodynamics of the simulated shuttle is based on these documents. The authoritive source for procedures for trajectory management, instrumentation, limits and energency procedures is the [https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/390651main_shuttle_crew_operations_manual.pdf Space Shuttle Crew Operations Manual] and currently a normal mission, i.e. ascent, orbital insertion, de-orbit, entry, terminal area energy management and landing can be flown largely 'by the book', i.e. following the real procedure. As of May 2015, this does not yet hold for emergency procedures. | The [http://ntrs.nasa.gov NASA technical reports server] supplies a large base of wind tunnel and in-situ performance data of both the mated launch vehicle and the orbiter, and the aerodynamics of the simulated shuttle is based on these documents.
