Space - ISS Docking Simulator

A new simulation released by Space X themselves is out to give you the chance to dock with the International Space Station.

I am going to have to try this again as it is very very hard to accomplish as the crew Dragon vehicle which is transporting you is radically askew in space, you have to line up on the space station and dock to it but you can read more on the link given below then click on the released a new online in red. Takes time to load up.

When I tried it all went super smoothly until I was about 500 yards then it was downhill all the way and had to abort. I would suggest you read the whole passage before diving in head first. Importantly, when you do click on the link and it loads up click on the Instructions first so you know how to use the controls.

Good luck!!

Thanks for the link, Nigel. :) Things definitely get shaky the closer you get to the ISS. Made it to within 23 meters before my computer black-screened. :wall: Oh well. :lol:
