Space Shuttle Discovery:

The Space Shuttle Discovery was one of the orbiters from NASA's Space Shuttle program and the third of five fully operational orbiters to be built. The Space Shuttle launch vehicle had three main components: the Space Shuttle orbiter, a single-use central fuel tank, and two reusable solid rocket boosters. Discovery launched the Hubble Space Telescope and conducted the second and third Hubble service missions.

Notes for operation:
  • The launch button is on the overhead panel. This will retract all holding clamps and after 3 seconds the engines will fire up.

  • When the solid rocket boosters deplete they automaticly detach. The center of thrust then changes so you'll have to roll the shuttle so it goes straight up.

  • I haven't yet found a way to get enough fuel to the main engines from the external tank for them to function. (SO TURN ON INFINITE FUEL), for now..

  • It spawns as a mission at the creative island.

  • Use the Orbital Maneuvering Engines to land, as gliding doesn't really work in Stormworks.

Microcontrollers used:
F15 Style HUD

RCS Controller
