Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the Satellite Orbit Simulator (SOS) software, focusing on the challenges faced by a college student in understanding and using the software for a lecture. Participants share their experiences and seek guidance on how to learn the software effectively.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in understanding the SOS software and seeks guidance on how to learn it effectively.
  • Another participant asks for clarification on the specific software being discussed.
  • Participants mention the importance of manuals, wikis, and tutorials, with one noting a struggle to read the manual.
  • Some participants provide basic operational tips related to orbital mechanics, such as thrust directions and their effects on altitude and trajectory.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no consensus on the best way to learn the SOS software, and multiple views on the effectiveness of available resources and learning methods are presented.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention a lack of community support for SOS and the limited availability of instructional materials beyond the manual.

i am in my college SEDS team and they asked me to lecture on SOS. I thought it would be easy but when then the first time i opened the software i was like shocked to see the controls. i cant understand anything. I went to web to search on it but there is no info related to it. Like there is no community specific for the SOS software and today i somehow managed to give the guest lecture but still i feel guilty for not learning the complete software of if anybody have experience using the software guide me how to learn it.


thank you

Can you point to the software you're talking about?

Satellite Orbit Simulator

sorry it is satellite orbit simulator.

Thanks. I'm not familiar with it, so won't be able to help you. Unless you're looking for more general pointers, in which case you'd have to describe in more detail the issues you had. I assume you've read the manual, and looked at the wiki and tutorials provided on the website?
 
Forward=up
Up=back
Back=down
Down=forward

Is there more to it? :wink:

from my highschool the only way i learn is by seeing videos about but the only non ai thing available about that software is its manual and i am literally struggling to read the manual.

A orbital mechanics thing.

Thrust forward in orbit to gain alt.
Thrust upward in orbit to fall back.
Thrust backward in orbit to lose alt.
Thrust downward in orbit to pull ahead.
