Lots of work is currently going into orbital maneuvering. The reaction control system has been overhauled to a realistic configuration, giving the Shuttle a grand total of 51 distinct engines to be controlled by the guidance logic in different modes, many of them pointing away from orthogonal direction which gives a realistic simulation of cross coupling between the various rotational and translational modes when the RCS is used. | Lots of work is currently going into orbital maneuvering.
