I may have the X and Y axes reversed, but (I believe) the X axis is moving Longitudinally (straight forward & backward) using Fore & Aft Thrusters.  (I think) the Y axis is moving Horizontally (sideways) using Port & Starboard Thrusters.  Plotting "X plus Y" together might give you a relative "Bearing" like plotting X + Y on a piece of paper lying flat on a table.

+
The Z axis would be Vertically (straight up & down) using Dorsal & Ventral Thrusters.  Plotting Z together with either X or Y might comprise "Mark" Like sliding a vertical piece of paper through the X/Y piece of paper and plotting Z + Y, or Z + X.  Like I said...  I need to dig out my manuals.

I just found these pics for course plotting today and I'm looking for more pics and information in order to complete it.  I still need to dig out my TNG Manual & Encyclopedia, which has most of what I need.

ST:TWOK

Just after Spock mentions Kahn is inexperienced and thinks in two dimensions. Kirk orders "Z minus 10000 meters, stand by photon torpedoes."

Do you have information on the Z-Axis?

What you're referring to is Thruster Maneuvering, which will also be part of this page. Right now, the preliminary info is on one of my samdbox pages. As I acquire more information, it will be added so I can create the Maneuvering/Nebula Warfare course I was telling you about.

When using the X, Y & Z Axes, you're basically talking RCS Thrusters. When talking Three Dimentional Compass Navigation, the X, Y & Z Axes get reduced to simply "Bearing" and "Mark".

Here are some links to BEARING, HEADING, and general Naviation and Warp Propulsion

Some of these site have the latest in tech, graphics, and theories! You can probably find everything else you need within these sites. Hope these help you. If i come across any more pages, ill let you know.



COL Doyle, RE


Nice links for basic Engineering pages, but they proved to be little to no help for Navigation.
Thanks for trying though. If you find some good Navigation sites, please post the links.
