1.5.9 Landing Procedure
Instructions for landing the Habitat in the pilot program ORBIT.
- Select Status: TARGET (toggle Tab key)
- Choose Target as the current planet (press key from Table 1.5.A)
- Select Status: REFERENCE (toggle Tab key)
- choose Reference for orbital maneuvers as current planet (press key from Table 1.5.A)
- Select Status: CENTRE (toggle Tab key)
- choose centre view point as the current planet (press key from Table 1.5.A)
- Magnify image (+ - keys) to see the current planet clearly
- Toggle F5 to bring up the AYSE docking systems control panel.
- Arm and Unlock the AYSE docking latches.
- Activate the AYSE UNDOCKING process.
- Wait until undocking is complete and the Auto Docking status shows RED.
- Set Thermal Control Measures to OFF.
- Press 'v' key to activate the approach velocity vector if not done already.
- Fire the reverse engine (use a low thrust setting (-1 to -5 m/s/s) until the approach velocity vector points directly towards the centre of the target.
- Press F4 for automatic depart from target orientation.
- Press F1 for manual orientation.
- Increase thrust (regular thrust (positive) not reverse thrust) using ']' key until the A to targ matches the engine thrust.
- Increase engine thrust to slow Vhab-ref speed to something appropriate (a value of about 10% of the distance value (D to targ) may work).
- Reduce thrust to match A to targ value.
- If the landing is taking too long, adjust thrust to increase Vhab-ref, but this make it harder to stop.
- If A-targ value exceed 50 m/s/s then:
- @ Low Altitude: maintain maximum thrust and brace for hard landing
- @ High Altitude: Initiate P1.5.13
- If A-targ value exceed 50 m/s/s then:
- If the approach velocity vector starts to point away from the centre of the target, rotate the AYSE Drive slightly in the opposite direction to correct it then re-adjust the orientation to stabilize the approach velocity vector.
- As you get closer to the target, gravity will increase the A to targ value and you must increase thrust to match it.
- As you get closer to the planet, use increased thrust to slow down and readjust thrust to match A to targ.
- When distance reads 0.00, stop engine.
