Trajectory prediction

See where the spacecraft is heading before it gets there.

Status: Implemented.

Modes

ModeWhat it shows
CoastThe path if the engine stays off
BurnThe path if the current thrust continues

The prediction is computed on a copy of the scenario. It never changes the run itself.

In the application

  • Press V to show or hide the prediction.
  • The predicted path is drawn in the 3D view and on the Trajectory Map, which can show the XZ, XY or YZ projection.
  • If a mission sequence is scripted, the prediction follows it.

Scope

Predictions cover hours to days. They use the same force models as the run, with the standing given in Capabilities and status.
