To test:

  1. Run NOS3
  2. Send command to enable thrusters
  3. Send command(s) to set thruster (0 to 3) to a percentage of full thrust
  4. Observe the spacecraft reacts and rotates and/or translates

Question relating to thrusters, are they supposed to be used to increase velocity or only used for visualization?

The thrusters can be used to linearly accelerate and/or rotationally accelerate the spacecraft.

Does 42 keep track of any orbital data (perigee, apogee, right ascension, and things like that)? Given the existence of the 42 map it looks like it does.

Everything looks like it works; I did not have any trouble with running it, and it does (as far as I can tell) what it is supposed to.
