AI Thread Summary
The user is seeking the ORBWIN software for spacecraft mission design, which is missing from their library's copy of a book by Charles Brown. Suggestions include checking the AIAA website for downloads, although a password is required, potentially included with the book. If the password is not found, contacting AIAA customer service for assistance is recommended. Additionally, purchasing AIAA products directly and becoming a member may provide further benefits and access to resources. The discussion emphasizes the importance of obtaining the software for orbit determination and related tasks.

I got this book(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1563470411/?tag=pfamazon01-20) by Charles brown from my institute library. Unfortunately they have misplaced the floppy disk containing Spacecraft Mission Design software- ORBWIN.
Can anyone share the software or give me ideas on how to get it ?
i searched on the net but found nothing.

Is there any similar software for orbits determination etc ?

thanks

You might be able to download the software from AIAA's website - http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=403&ID=523 , however you need a password. Perhaps this came with the book or purchase.

See also http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=360&id=523 for other details.

If one still has problems, then I would recommend contacting AIAA bookstore directly, and explain the situation. Perhaps they can provide a password.

I strongly recommend buying AIAA products directly from AIAA, and also becoming a member if one is an aerospace engineer or student. Membership will get one discounts and access to a broad network of aerospace scientists and engineers.

Thanks for a quick reply.
I can't find the password in the book. Anybody knows where it is ?
Can anyone who has access to it provide me ? Its around 1 mb only.
 
I would expect the password to be unique with each purchase.

Was the book purchased, new or used? If used, perhaps the original owner has the software.

Otherwise, call the AIAA customer service and explain the situation, and perhaps they can give you a password.
 
Venus does not have a magnetosphere, so the Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) environment shall be much worse than in a LEO environment. Looking to the std radiation models for Venus, the standard radiation-hard space level electronic component with tested immunity LET = 85 MeV-cm2/mg seems not enough, so, for example, a 1cm2 Si die will suffer considerable flux above this level during a long mission (10 years for example). So, the question is, usually we are not paying attention to latch-up...
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
Thread 'SpaceX Starship development: 7th flight January 10'
Watch the progress live This is a fully stacked Starship (top) and Super Heavy (bottom). A couple of too-small-to-see cars near the bottom for scale, I also added a Saturn V and the Statue of Liberty for comparison. 120 meters tall, about 5000 tonnes when fully fueled. Twice the mass and over twice the thrust of Saturn V. The largest rocket ever built by mass, thrust, height, and payload capacity. N1 had the largest diameter.[/size] But its size is not the revolutionary part. It is designed...
