Planetary Launch Procedure

  1. Follow procedures in P1.5.3 and P1.5.4.1 steps 1 to 5
  2. Select the current planet as reference and target object (see P1.5.4.1)
  3. Press F4 for automatic depart from target orientation.
  4. Press 'v' to activate approach velocity vector.
  5. Increase thrust to exceed local gravity by at least 1 m/s2 and AYSE drive will lift off.
  6. Adjust thrust to maintain the desired lift-off speed.
  7. Press F1 for manual orientation control.
  8. Gradually rotate the AYSE drive counter-clockwise until the orientation is perpendicular to the direction back to the planet.
  9. Press F2 for automatic ccw orbit ref orientation.
  10. If the approach velocity vector is pointing away from the planet:
    • Press F3 for automatic approach to targ orientation.
    • Use slight thrust to restore correct approach velocity vector.
  11. If the approach velocity vector is pointing towards the planet:
    • Press F4 for automatic depart from ref orientation.
    • Use slight thrust to restore correct approach velocity vector.
  12. Press F2 to restore automatic ccw orbit ref orientation.
  13. If Vhab-ref is less than Vo ref, use positive thrust to increase Vhab-ref.
    • If Vhab-ref is more than Vo ref, use reverse thrust to decrease Vhab-ref.
  14. Stop engines.
