	Flight simulator Summary
		The modern flight simulator is an enclosed space that is roughly the size of the cockpit it is meant to simulate.
		Flight simulators are extensively used by the aviation industry and the military for pilot training, disaster simulation and aircraft development.
		As space is a natural extension of airspace, space flight simulators may be treated as an extension of flight simulators' genre.

	Lunar Explorer: A Space Flight Simulator - MobyGames
		Lunar Explorer is a real-time 3D simulation of flight from lunar orbit to moon landing.
		Flights can begin at the Tranquility Base landing pad, in close approach to the lunar base, or in orbit around the Moon.
		This LLV simulator exposes moon pilots to the dangers of inaccurate navigation, inefficient fuel consumption, and incorrect maneuvering.

	The Space Review: Review: Orbiter space flight simulator
		Orbiter (www.orbitersim.com) is a space flight simulator, something of a cross between a conventional PC flight simulator and a planetarium or astronomy program.
		Orbiter is a space flight simulator, something of a cross between a conventional PC flight simulator and a planetarium or astronomy program.
		Orbiter operates much like a flight simulator: you have a simulated cockpit with multi-function displays (MFD’s) and other controls, and you click on-screen buttons with the mouse or use keyboard commands, like G for landing gear.

	Freelancer PC Review
		As a combination of space flight simulator and role-playing game, Freelancer is both an interesting and well-conceived idea, but it fails to properly tap into the kind of fantasy world we want to live in and explore.
		Every segment of space has the same arrangement of planets, space stations, and battle cruisers, and exploring it involves going through the same kind of warp gates and portals over and over again and getting into the same kind of battles with the same kind of enemies.
		Here they've taken that space flight simulator and have simplified it down, down, to the point where you only need a mouse and keyboard to fly.

	Space Nocturne - Flight Simulator Co-Pilot by Charles Gulick
		It's hard to believe that it was 60 years ago, in 1926, that Robert Hutchings Goddard, the great American physicist, fired the world's first liquid-fuel rocket, eventually earning a Guggenheim grant to set up a developmental station near where you're parked here in Roswell.
		Curiously, the first rocket-engine flight to carry a human being was that of Fritz von Opel, the German manufacturer of the Opel automobile.
		Sometimes a flight like this weaves a hypnotic spell, and you think your only responsibility is to sit there while the airplane flies itself.

	Astronaut Bio: C. Michael Foale (9/2006)
		In his capacity as payload officer in the Mission Control Center, he was responsible for payload operations on Space Shuttle missions STS-51G, 51-I, 61-B and 61-C. Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in June 1987.
		SPACE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE: STS-45 (March 24 to April 2, 1992) was the first of the ATLAS series of missions to study the atmosphere and solar interactions.
		His next flight lasted 4-½ months aboard the Russian Space Station Mir, and was launched on STS-84 on May 15, 1997 to join the Mir 23 crew.

		The Space Shuttle simulation was implemented on the Cyber 73 hybrid system in 1976 and lasted until after the first several orbital flights of the Shuttle.
		First use of the simulator was to study the entire re-entry phase - from about 400,000 feet to touchdown.
		The simulator was also used to develop a solution to a severe PIO problem encountered during the last landing of the ALT (Approach and Landing Test) program on October 26, 1977.
