Grand Explorations: Cassini-Huygens - Orbiter Space Flight Simulator

[@ardap3966]

Cassini is a real legend!

[@kynnmaster_123]

Byee Cassini.. See you again.. Even if it's just a probe, it still makes me cry!! Wahhhh!!

[@bruceirving7080]

Wow, great video! One of the best visual explanations of the multiple slingshot method used to get Cassini out to Saturn. The encounter visuals are great too. Amazing use of Orbiter for this. Orbiter users know that this is a video made from a physical simulation and not "simply" 3D graphics and video editing (CGI). That makes it all the more amazing. It doesn't lessen the accomplishments of the JPL orbital mechanics engineers who designed the mission, but it's cool to know you can simulate all those steps in a free software program. With just a BIT of study and skill.

[@rseferino1]

Thank you. When I do a video I investigate a lot, because with orbiter you have to follow the correct orbits, the physics is very precise.

[@alexanderbelov6892]

Rseferino Orbiter Filmmaker Can you clarify if Orbiter/JPL software accounts for GRT and SRT of Einstein?

[@puzzlepuddles6097]

They've put a mission to Saturn to study as long as 20 years from 1997 up to 2017. With a tiny shell to uncover Christiaan Huygens's theories about Titan.. We all imagine Huygens's soul following the probe, feeling proud of himself. And also the brutal Finale down in the abyss, August 2017.. oh wait, its almost 2019.. NOOOOOOOO **cries** D': I MIISSS THE OLD TIMES SO MUUUCH!

[@kaiserredgamer8943]

5:11 Cassini: Hello Galileo!

[@GERALD_786]

Galileo: hello cassini

[@puzzlepuddles6712]

Cassini: come here often? galileo: yeah its my 5th time orbiting this route. cassini: yeah sucks. well are you happy to study ur discovery? galileo: the moons? yeah theyre cool what law did you invent to have your spacecraft be named after you? cassini: you see im actually two different people

[@Fretice]

dude this is awsome. what a grand finale

[@MimeHTF5]

Rip Cassini i miss you

[@thatonedudeyouknow9603]

I love what you did with the music you are a amazing editor

[@darksavage596]

Goodbye Cassini.

[@pmajudge]

OOOOOHHHH!!I WAS VERY MUCH ENTHRALLED BY IT ALL !!!HAD TO WATCH IT TWICE !!GREAT AND GRAND STUFF !!ENJOYED IT MUCH !!MANY THANKS!!FROM (U.K.).

[@orbiter1ful]

Cassini used a Titan IV-B with a Centaur-T upper stage man. Their all available in CVEL Titans and Velcro Rockets. Otherwise good video.

[@kuki5050]

Propably he used Titan IIIE model because of technical reasons (for video's quality).

[@chillchillin9784]

Okay rocket scientist

[@thefoxyan4504]

10:25 так вот куда пропал мой пельмень : )

[@rwboa22]

What would be cool would be the ICE probe that was flung out of Earth orbit and flew past Comet Giacobanni-Zinner.

[@Lord_Merterus]

R.İ.P Cassini spacecraft Earths bridge to Saturn

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

I was in 5th grade!!! when Cassini was launched.

[@hornetsmiketv]

Okay, Rseferino Orbiter Filmmaker, what About Rosetta?

[@LaGrozny1203]

Goodbye Cassini Spacecraft!

[@scheewheed8285]

An amazing video! Especially at 11:40, it looks like the opening scene of Rogue One

[@redactedagentdataexpunged9431]

I love the grand finale bit

[@boyan7432]

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT CASSINI IS ABOUT TO CRASH IN SATURN! I DIDNT EVEN KNOW CASSINI EXISTS! thx to a video called "the end is near! cassini final mission" so, there is no cassini 2 or 3 or other missions?

[@Gdcat1472]

MAECHE冷やす that’s from Second Thought!

[@fahim113]

wow! Gave me goosebumps.Why we spend so much money on guns n bombs rather than space exploration I will never understand. Great video.

[@kuki5050]

Si vis pacem, para bellum. BTW, without development of Titan ICBMs we wouldn't have the Cassini, let alone Voyager missions.

[@redactedagentdataexpunged9431]

Play the liftoff audio over the life off bit. I sounds cool

[@crushedflamingo4642]

Absolutely beautiful

[@vanleeuwenlevi]

Amazingly done, but I feel obligated to tell you the Titan rocket (Titan IV in this case) does not light its engines (engine would be more accurate since it is considered one unit) on the ground. The twin solid rocket boosters lift the whole rocket up off the launch pad and then the liquid engine(s) ignite mid-air. This did not bother me that much at all though, and this is truly a beautiful video!

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

How about a simulation showing how extraterrestrial life might land on Earth, starting from beyond the solar system, perhaps using the gas giants to slow down their solar orbit.

[@pmajudge]

HMMMMM !! HOOKED NOW !!GOOD MUSIC DRAMATIC !!FROM (U.K.)

[@StevenEveral]

9:47 Death Star Moon! 10:35 Ravioli Moon! Great video! Although I'm surprised you didn't include the Enceladus 'Plume Dive'. Another interesting fact about the Cassini spacecraft: There were originally four RTGs (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators, essentially a 'nuclear battery') made for Cassini, however only three were needed. What happened to the fourth RTG? It eventually ended up on the New Horizons spacecraft.

[@seeshauseen]

Damn you little thief😂

[@thatonedudeyouknow9603]

I figured that out when I saw new horizons artist impressions

[@ArghyaChatterjeeJony]

Fantastic Man, just loved it.

[@orbiter1ful]

you got one thing wrong mate. Cassini used a distant flyby of titan "goodbye kiss" to nudge itself to Saturn

[@rseferino1]

The video I did months before the meeting does not appear on its timeline.

[@foudelespace3729]

It is the real trajectory of Cassini?

[@rwboa22]

If only Cassini-Huygens had the SLS Block II as it's launch vehicle.

[@hel0vl0gs29]

The physics of the KSP are very wrong, as we were descending through the atmosphere of Huygens a part dropped, but since it was without a parachute, it should descend faster than the parachute, but the opposite happened.

[@gurrenlagannsc8658]

Its Orbiter 2010, not KSP

[@redactedagentdataexpunged9431]

Galileo makes its last approach on the channel

[@manriq17]

nice but wheres rosetta and mark mainer II?

[@seeshauseen]

You are a man of your word, Thanks :)

[@178msut]

OMG FIRST COMMENT HI! please do one on a theoretical uranus orbiter pls

[@janchristianursuaaguilar7434]

i don't think that there's a mod for the uranus orbiter i guess.

[@orbiter1ful]

Jan Christian Ursua Aguilar there is one by K Jameson from Italian orbiter community in development (Shakespeare/Pope probe)

[@SMD234WG]

No jokes?

[@Gdcat1472]

Hey! I’m planning on one RIGHT NOW! (Name: Urater (URanus And Titania Exploration Robot!))

[@shelbycm788]

Kryptonite178

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

I hope I get to know I have 2 months to live someday so I can go on my own Grand Finale. Maybe it'll be possible to skydive into one of the gas giants one day.

[@LaGrozny1203]

Wow! Amazing

[@Wadethewallaby2001]

i'm back

[@lorenamartins42]

Galileo:hi cassini u Will become a ice Cube too?

[@milky_wayan]

i knew cassini performed flybys of venus earth and jupiter as gravity assists but seeing them like this, wow, how do they do it.. must be a ton of math

[@barkeest2561]

Probably a lot of rocket burns

[@mbrazile1]

i love your videos so much. they are truly excellent.

[@Scifimaster92]

Great video, but where did you get that Hyperion mesh?

[@nathanhidajat8997]

OMG! Saturn has so many moons.

[@krylatich]

Where I can find anti-alising in Orbiter 2016?

[@Gdcat1472]

#1 Vid!!!!

[@iconictea2436]

I love these videos

[@bubbazanetti3463]

Love this one.

[@Gdcat1472]

U should get 999999999999999999999 million subs!!! XD P.S. Your THE best!!!

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

What would have happened if Cassini collided with Galileo?

[@rseferino1]

Unlikely. They separated thousands of kilometers. And their orbital planes were different.

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

What's going to happen when everyone has their own private spacecraft? Can there be unintended consequences of millions of people stealing gravity from Earth?

[@datsmay]

Amazing! Thank you!!

[@kuki5050]

Now waiting for International Space Station (just for 2018) and Chinese Modular Station with TZ spacecraft.

[@vladyush]

Посмотрел, как-то грустно стало

[@janchristianursuaaguilar7434]

Darn, we'll miss the Cassini-Huygens. Well Done! I wish it was named "Sailor Saturn" from sailor moon instead.

[@jacobaung2431]

Red Green Green

[@boyan7432]

what the hell is the game bro

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

I was in 5th grade!!

[@rwboa22]

Pan = Walnut moon

[@Gdcat1472]

ROF, plz Apollo 13!!!!!!!!

[@kordorkharshandi6374]
