Simulator of the OMGL flight

         Here you can try our simple Java simulator of the flight of the OMGL into your computer. You can change the parameters as you like, but we created three presets for the simulator, corresponding to flight modes 1, 2, and 3, as presented in the slides. The simulator we used for the graphs in the article was less sofisticated then that we used for the slide presentation, so the graphs on the slides are more accurate. This java applet works well in Mozilla, Firefox and Internet Explorer but it appears to have some problems (it runs too slow) in the Opera browser, we'll try to correct this problem soon.
        "Parachute radius (m)" means the radius of the braking parachutes used in the flight mode 2 while "Landing P radius (m)" means the radius of the landing parachute.
