Description

Right now the vessels use the default Orbiter 0.2m/s separation velocity. We have the data and the math for actual separation so it needs to be coded such that the CSM/LM have velocity imparted from the docking probe, residual tunnel pressure, and the separation pyros, while compensating for the orbiter velocity.
