	'''Orbit''' is a package of software developed by [[Admiral]] [[Dr. J. Magwood]] for use by the [[OCESS]] to simulate the workings of the [[habitat]]. It includes several components. The current versions are shown in the [[Orbit#History and Versions\|history and versions section]], although many more changes are planned for oncoming [[mission\|missions]].

 ===Navigation Software===

-This part of the software is used by the [[pilot]] to navigate within the solar system. For the sake of simplification, for both the software and piloting techniques, the universe is simulated as a two dimensional plane with most objects being perfect circles or a cluster of such. However, the program is based on real astronomical physics and simulates many functions of a real spaceship. It has received a major overhaul in 2006-07 to add the effects of radiation, atmosphere and fuel.

-The EECOM software monitor the environmental data for the habitat, and to controls most life support related operations as venting or pressurizing modules, scrubbing carbon dioxide, or adding oxygen. The Mission Control and the Habitat have two different variations of the same software, but all the controls are carried out from the habitat unless an emergency(beta) should arise.

-The Power Grid Software was first added to the collection in 2006-07 for Coronis. The Power Grid software monitors reactor temperature and the status of various onboard circuits and modules. It also allows the [[Chief Engineer]] to control  the activation of, amongst others, the radiation shielding, the generator itself, the propulsion systems and the communication systems.
