Not long after Martin made Orbiter open source, he uploaded all the versions he still had to the [https://www.orbiter-forum.com/resources/ Resources] section of [https://www.orbiter-forum.com/ Orbiter-forum].

==Earth in Orbiter==
Orbiter's 2002 release. Both files are needed for a working copy.
+
The Earth is one of the original twelve bodies modeled in Orbiter beginning with Orbiter 2001. In 2001, the orbital characteristics were defined in the Earth.cfg file, but all versions after that, the orbit was defined in the Vsop87.dll file in the Modules folder. Physical, Rotation and precession, Atmospheric, Cloud, Visualisation parameters are defined in the Earth.cfg file.

===Orbiter 2002-P1, with subsequent patches===
 
Author's Comments:<br>
 
Orbiter's second release in 2002, which then included three subsequent revisions as patches to the base 021202 install.
 
  
These are cumulative, which means if you want 030303 you need to unpack the 021202 base, then the 021206 patch, the 021217 patch, and then finally the 030303 patch, to get a working install.
+
Orbiter 2001 included only three surface bases, but Orbiter 2002 expanded the list to 35.
 
 
You'll need both _base and _tex for a working 021202 base install.

===Orbiter 2003-P1===
 
Author's Comments:<br>
 
The first revision of Orbiter from 2003. Not originally called 2003-P1 (as far as I know) but adjusted to fit the more recent format.
 
 
 
You need _base and _tex for a working Orbiter install. _sdk is optional, for developing addons against.

Author's Comments:<br>
 
The second revision of Orbiter from 2003. While this wasn't called 2003-P1 at the time as far as I can tell, that's what Orbiter later started using, so I've kept that format here as we go backwards in time.
 
 
 
You need _base and _tex for a working Orbiter install. The _sdk is optional.

Author's Comments:<br>
 
Orbiter 2005 - both the initial release and the later patch for a revision.
 
 
 
The 050216 patch needs to be applied over the base 050116 install, it won't make a standalone Orbiter install by itself.

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the only body known to harbor life. Earth is one of the four 'rocky' planets the other three being Mercury, Venus, and Mars. The only natural satellite orbiting Earth is the Moon.

The Earth is close to an oblate spheroid, but, in Orbiter it's modeled as a sphere.

Earth in Orbiter

The Earth is one of the original twelve bodies modeled in Orbiter beginning with Orbiter 2001. In 2001, the orbital characteristics were defined in the Earth.cfg file, but all versions after that, the orbit was defined in the Vsop87.dll file in the Modules folder. Physical, Rotation and precession, Atmospheric, Cloud, Visualisation parameters are defined in the Earth.cfg file.

Orbiter 2001 included only three surface bases, but Orbiter 2002 expanded the list to 35.
