SUMMARY

The ORBWIN software, essential for spacecraft mission design, is not readily available for public download. Users can potentially access it through the AIAA website, but a password is required, which may be included with the purchase of the associated book by Charles Brown. If the password is missing, contacting AIAA's customer service is recommended for assistance. Additionally, AIAA membership offers discounts and access to a network of aerospace professionals.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of spacecraft mission design principles
  • Familiarity with AIAA resources and membership benefits
  • Knowledge of software licensing and access protocols
  • Basic troubleshooting skills for software access issues
NEXT STEPS
  • Research AIAA membership benefits and how to join
  • Explore alternative software for orbit determination
  • Learn about AIAA's customer service contact methods
  • Investigate other aerospace engineering resources available through AIAA
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, students in aerospace programs, and anyone seeking access to ORBWIN software or similar tools for orbit determination.

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.

Some other cool stuff - http://www.aiaa.org/content.cfm?pageid=360&id=281

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.
