Extreme overheating with OKTO probe attached to Mk1 pod


Recommended Posts

This is a very specific bug. It seems that when you attach an OKTO probe to the top node of a Mk1 pod, it amplifies the heating so much that the pod will explode at relatively minor speeds (800 m/s). I've tested this with ever other 0.625m parts including all other probe cores and fuel tanks and only the OKTO probe causes this issue.

I tested this with a simple rocket but it seems to show up in all rockets.

My test rocket was a Mk1 pod with an OKTO core and then a mk16 parachute on top. Underneath was a RT-10 set at 50% thrust and launched straight up.

Version: KSP 1.0.0.830 Windows 64-bit

Issue: Stayputnik probe experiences extreme heating on reentry - up to 4000K! Possibly related to Bug #4832, as it also occurred on a rescue mission.

Save: Thermalbug.sfs - Simply wait until reentry, either warping or not: the Stayputnik starts heating up rapidly.

I'm getting a very similar issue with an OKTO atop a MkI pod, with an SAS avionics module on top of that. Strangely, I have no issues in atmosphere, but once I get up to 60k or so and cut engines to coast to Ap, it then spontaneously explodes, and the debug menu says it was due to heat.
