Spaceplane landing #172

Open ElWanderer opened 3 years ago

ElWanderer commented 3 years ago

To include:

  1. Terrain avoidance
  2. Bleeding off excess height/speed if necessary with turns
  3. Turning onto the right heading for the target landing site/runway and aligning with it
  4. Ability to use engines (if available) would be nice if dropping short
  5. Actually landing
  6. TOGA (Take Off/Go Around) ability would be nice to have if we overshoot

This all sounds viciously complicated. For landing back at the KSC we can make a few simplifications/assumptions, but automating a rough-landing on Laythe would be, erm, wow...!
