To go into orbit you need to go where the orange 
rocket thingy is. drive around it until you get to 
where a tower is(those ones that shoot at you). There 
should be a dirt road near it that leads to a portal. 
Go in it when the lights are green. You will then be 
launched into orbit. You will get either toolboxes or 
a lot of weapons falling aroung you. Move your car with 
the D-pad to move twards the items. You will land safely 
in a little bit.
