In this video, I am returning to the Olympus base on Mars to have another go at taking the XR5 to one of the gas giants. This time I am aiming for Saturn with the eventual goal of rendezvousing with, and then landing on Saturn's moon Titan.

It seemed to me that taking off from Mars with a heavily loaded XR5 was inefficient. So in this Learn With Me, I am taking off from Mars with a normal load and heading to Phobos for a fuel stop before heading out to Saturn.

Enjoy the ride and get ready to Learn With Me a second time!

Note, the version of TransX that comes bundled with Orbiter 2010 has a known bug that causes it to draw the graphics improperly. You can read about the problem here:

To work around this bug, I am using TransX 3.13.1.2, which I downloaded from here:
