is there a good game that simulates orbital manuvering?

Like, the series of manuvers that a space shuttle has to undertake if it wants to reach a satellite?

I have briefly toyed with it, but it was too much work. I'm kinda wondering if there's like an arcadey version that lets you get a more...feel for it. Like, more instinctual.

Umm.. duh? You're asking for a rocket science simulator. What did you expect?

If you want an arcadey orbit simulator, have a look at Osmos:

This one is pretty good though it is a bit on rails. You get to participate in everything though. The satellite deployment missions are cool.
