Orbiter 2016 / XR2 to Mars (IMFD) / Part 2
Part 2 of 2 featuring an XR-2 Ravenstar flight to Mars from KSC using IMFD's Delta Velocity program. Part 1 includes IMFD setup and scram ascent to orbit. Part 2 includes IMFD TMI burn setup, coasting phase, mid course correction, direct entry using atmospheric braking, and landing at Olympus base. I initially set the flight up for a retrograde approach, but half way to Mars it trended toward a prograde approach so I went with that instead, and set up for a more aggressive entry 30 degrees west of Olympus base using the attitude hold autopilot.
