Surface bases (or “spaceports”) are launch and landing sites on the surface of planets or moons, usually equipped with launchpads or runways, for vertical and horizontal liftoff and/or landing. Each surface base is defined via its own configuration file. When Orbiter loads a planet configuration, it scans all surface base definitions for the planet and creates the corresponding bases.
The standard Orbiter installation features the following default surface bases:
Default bases for Earth[edit]
Africa[edit]
Antarctica[edit]
(none)
Asia[edit]
- Al Anbar
- Baikonur
- Doberai
- Jingyu
- Jiuquan
- Kagoshima
- Kapustin Yar
- Musudan
- Palmachim
- Sriharikota
- Svobodniy
- Taiyuan
- Tanegashima
- Wuzhai
- Xichang
Australia[edit]
Europe[edit]
North America[edit]
South America[edit]
Default bases for the Moon[edit]
- Brighton Beach, located on the Moon near side.
Default bases for Mars[edit]
- Olympus located near Olympus Mons on Mars.
See also[edit]
The detail level provided goes from a simple launchpads to custom surface tiles, runways and 3D buildings. It's possible to add new bases or enhance the existing through add-ons.
