1. INTRODUCTION
This document explains how to use and operate the Atlantis with MMU and Satellite Module for
Orbiter.
2. SPECIFICATIONS
To be added later
3. VERSION HISTORY
Version 1.0
Initial Release
Version 1.1
Fixed problem with not reading SAT_JETTISONED in the scenario file.
Fixed problem with the E key not returning to the shuttle from the MMU.
Added E key to the satellite to return to shuttle
Added the ability for the satellite and/or mmu to parse it's own name to return back to
the launching shuttle.
Modified the Shuttle's J key so that if the satellite is launched it will shift focus back to the
launched satellite.
Added SAT_OFS_X, SAT_OFS_Y, SAT_OFS_Z to the scenario file to control the offset of the
shuttle in the payload bay.
Version 1.2
Better MMU Mesh thanks McDope
Added SAT_NAME, and SAT_MESH to the scenario file to read the name and mesh of the
satellite you want to use.
Version 2.0
Added new MMU courtesy of Andrew Farnaby (Dirk_Dan)
Added the ability to control the RMS on the Shuttle.
Version 2.1
Added Multi-Purpose Logistics Module mesh and config
Added Grappling capability
Version 3.0
Dr. Martin Schweiger
Added Cradle Mesh and Position
Added Grappling Jettison Capability
Eliminated the need for SATELLITE_NMESH
Robert Conley
Added Accurate MMU Jets
Added MMU Docking Port
Added Carina Docking Port
Added Atlantis Satellite Repair Scenario

Grappling
This is the first cut of the grappling capability. First off all you can grapple anywhere even if you
are NOT on the satellite. Just maneuver the end of the arm to where you want to grapple on the
payload and tap 8. When you are done positioning the object tap 8 to ungrapple. You can also
jettison from wherever the payload is by tapping the J Key.

An famous picture re-visited
Thrusters: 1.5 Newton , ISP:45.0 sec
Empty Mass: 200.0 kg, Fuel Mass: 11.8 kg, DeltaVee: 20 m/sec
6. STS-SAT
This has been extensively revised in this version. It is possible for orbiter modules to read the
cfg file as well as the scenario file. This is an example of doing this. In addition any config parameters
entered in after the module = line will be read and used by the orbiter in configuring the vessel. The
sts-sat.dll module does little more than read in the configuration of SAT_MESH to get the mesh name
and allows the use of the J key to switch back to the Shuttle Orbiter.
; === Configuration file for vessel class ESA Carina===
ClassName = carina <= setup as normal
Module = sts_sat
<= note that there is no meshname= line.
Normal configuration stuff
SAT_MESH carina
<= Add this to the bottom with the mesh name you want to load
