Larger astronauts will consume more oxygen and produce more heat than smaller ones. All parameters can be recorded for later analysis, including trajectory, environmental system, attitude control system, electrical system and Astronaut physiological data. This data is saved in a standard comma-delimited text file that you can export to an external analysis tool like Microsoft Excel. Students can bring home the mission data and create a detail analysis on a particular aspect of the mission as homework or extra credit. The Strip Chart allows you create simples charts from recorded data without external tools.
All charts are scalable, printable and can be pasted into other programs as graphic objects.
The simulation can be started from countdown, ignition, orbit, reentry or final descent. It can be paused, sped up, saved and restored. WoM can be viewed in either the English or Metric system. This can be set to effect the entire simulation and individual functions can override the globals setting. This is a separate application that networks to the main simulation providing a full simulation of the Mercury Mission Control Center as well as the spacecraft.
