Orbiter 2010 - Moon to ISS [Direct Method] using TransX
In January, I showed a method for going from the moon to the earth so that you would arrive at the earth already in plane with the ISS. This video is a followup to that. In this video we will arrive back at the earth not only in plane with the ISS, but we will time our arrival so that the ISS is at our current position when we get there.
If you haven't seen the Moon to ISS video that I did in January (link below), you may want to watch that first because this video assumes you've already seen that one.

Other Add-on MFD's that I don't use often, but I like them for their specific purpose:

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:
