The K Prize - 100% reusable spaceplane to orbit and back


Recommended Posts

 

 

The K-Prize Party Thread.

7wkAPlH.png

K-Prize badge by WafflesToo (sig badges).

 

The K Prize challenge is to make the obvious craft, a spaceplane, and make it work. All those who succeed will be included on the roll of honour and get a free back stage pass to hang with Kay Kool and the Kerbettes after their next live performance at the Dog and Booster (where free beer will be available). To enter report relevant accomplishments on a mission which actually flew, your word is good enough but images and videos are welcome.

Rules

1. The craft must launch and land intact using only the amount of fuel on board at launch, may not lose stages or parts in flight, no refuelling for thrust, see provisos below.

2. The craft must launch horizontally, reach orbit (PE > 70,000m) and land intact (on Kerbin) ready for 'refuelling'.

3. All fuel tanks, wings (ie lift generators & aerodynamic environments) and engine parts must be stock, for fairness.

Provisos to rule 1.

A. Payloads may decouple from the craft providing all payload tanks are as full on decoupling as at launch and any thrust (or lift) generators on the payload were not used prior to decoupling. Excursion vehicles may decouple and redock but only achievements of the entire craft count towards K-Prize kudos.

B. Docking is permitted providing no fuel is transferred (net per fuel type) into the K-Prize craft and then used for propulsion (it can be transferred out or in as payload). Likewise no propulsion assist is permitted from the target craft fuel or engines. Crew transfers are permitted.

C. Mining and refining are permitted providing none of the resulting fuel product is used to drive the craft i.e. mined fuel is treated as payload only.

D. Pilots wishing to try the challenge with mod equipment may do so in the sister challenge thread "The K Prize - 100% reusable spaceplane to orbit and back (Modded Version)".

 

+Kudos

1. Smallest ship (by weight, weight info required). Minimalist record.

2. Largest ship (by weight, weight info required). Maximalist record.

3. Highest orbit beyond Eeloo. Altitudinalist record.

4. Landing on any space center terrain. Pilot proficiency medal.

5. Landing on any space center runway or docking in orbit. Advanced pilot precision award (1stClass for both).

6. Visiting other SOIs. Kosmokerbal Commendation.

7. Planetoid landings. Astrokerbal Distinction.

8. Payload to orbit, including fuel delivery also ore, fuel or salvage to Kerbin from asteroid or orbit. Utilitarial Commendation.

9. Payload to distant planet surface including fuel delivery also ore, fuel or salvage to Kerbin from planet. Utilitarial Distinction.

Prefixes: Exploratory applies to planetoid missions and Expeditionary applies to planetary lander missions outside Kerbin's sphere of influence. (Planets are defined as the central body in their own SOI with a boundary adjacent to Kerbol's SOI or gravity exceeding 0.75 of Kerbins.)

Dr.Moo provided easy listening video evidence at the hearing.

Taki117 took the view that using uncertified parts was fun.

SeventhArchitect felt modifying certified parts was perfectly safe, not bodged at all.

At the inquest it emerged that RocketScientistV's pilot kicked the solar panel "because it looked fragile", which it was.

Sputnik's Revenge blatantly declined to add wings.

TechniCali felt uncertified air intakes looked much cooler and represented no risk to anyone not on board the craft at lift off.

Damaske confessed to using illegal refuelling technology.

WafflesToo attempted to convince the panel that unidentifiable explosions are a good sign.

Gravaar was on record saying that one day all space planes will be made this way.

Fengist refused to confirm or deny whether allegations of prevarication were misinformation.

Kokanee quoted in the Kerbin Gazette "I have seen the future and it looks like Firemoth".

numerobis reflected that VTOLs dont need to crash the gates, they can just hop over them.

GoSlash27 was adamant that that having cake and eating it was entirely possible according to quantum physics.

Rakaydos suggested the Kerbal cosmos was a 3 dimensional brane moving in a higher dimensional space and there is no cake.

RocketPilot573 told the commission "it was always intended to be an open ended mission".

DMSP apologised for a lack of parachutes but felt that the craft had made a special contribution to Kerbin's reef ecology.

SkyRex94 philosophised that were the universe a simulation one could adjust the cosmological constant to increase the availablility of sprinkles.

Captain Vlad advised the committee that the exploding bits weren't really part of the spaceship at all... any more...

Starwhip objected that colliding with the launchpad was unavoidable given the trajectory of the craft.

Camaron asserted that the borrowed fuel was neither here nor there after the engines blew up, more kind of everywhere.

ExplorerKlatt, found the missing wing tip while looking for lost golf balls.

fenya interviewed by Breakfast TV was upbeat saying the craft came tantalisingly close to not crashing on several occasions.

Sumguy told judges the detachable wing tip came at no extra charge, offered favourable credit arrangement.

Ar180shooter crashing was due to technical issue with failing to not hit the ground.

Gravaar declared the mission partly successful, since some parts had landed successfully

SeanMirrsen admitted that solar power explosions were rare but not unheard of, unlike nuclear engines. Protested Stupeflyer Mk2 was ahead of its time.

Edax conceded that the payload engine may have been tested at an opportune moment.

Tynrael on reviewing the video evidence agreed launching downwards was not standard procedure for space vehicles.

SuicidalInsanity denied using alien technology to construct a craft somewhat larger than your average spaceplane.

GraviTykillz felt refuelling was justified because the ship was a gas guzzling hotrod.

FlipNascar argued that disposable spaceships were more fun.

RCgothic decided the rule book was best thrown out, to save weight.

iospace felt reengineering the planet Kerbin to suit a particular space craft was a price worth paying.

Temstar insisted that upstaging Elon Musk was not against the K-Prize rules.

Kokanee declared the runway to be disruptive technology.

ihtoit quoted in kerbin Gazette "trial and error isn't so expensive if you leave insurance claims until after the next launch".

Gojira1000 didn't mention the drilling equipment and fuel converter to the K-Prize adjudication panel since it was a minor detail.

manni01 was adamant that refueling was essential for returning to Kerbin, supplied video evidence. Didnt read proviso C because it was "just the small print".

micr0wave forgot which side the wheels were on, may have lost a wing... or two.

JebsDead said whatever exploded wasn't very important... probably. (Presented a couple of mining videos to show how rarely explosions matter.)

n.b.z. wasnt sure how to get Mirgy and her flying saucer back from Duna but was OK with that.

Spartwo beat the odds but lost quite a lot of spaceship.

cy4n argued that a spaceplane was a rocket with wings, suggested the K-Prize panel should try not to worry about the "drop tanks".

luizopiloto considered the mission a democratic success, since a majority of parts didnt explode on touchdown.

Jebediah Klerman brought a rocket to a spaceplane challenge. Felt rules were biased against vertical take off, which they are.

Spaceception came back down to Kerbin with a bit of a bump... and an explosion...  or two...

Marschig glossed over refining-refuelling at Laythe, denied being a rulebreaker saying, "the rules were like that when I found them".

hoioh suggested there was no such thing as bad publicity. 

HyperDraco confirmed that extensive research had shown its best to put wheels on the outside. 

Rhomphaia retorted to a Kerbopolis Times reporter that detachable engines were all part of the plan, or at least half of them were.

xendelaar announced on YouKube the Honey bee had broken the mold for conventional helirocketry. Replied to comments that reading the K-Prize rules was on the to do list. 

camacju when asked why crash the K-Prize party with perfectly good tickets replied, "because it was there".

tosha told reporters  that hacking the KASA mainframe was only to assist a refuelling maneuver, was very sorry it broke a rule but felt its easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission.

Admiral Fluffy switched off altimeter to get better publicity shots, told This Week In Rocketry podcast "sometimes less is more".

4D4850  accidentally parachuted into the goat paddock of the petting zoo next to The Dog & Booster. Told police "I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids."

OJT took upstaging to a whole new level. Announced on Kerbal Radio, the Pyramid at Klastonbury was eclipsed by the Cuboid at KSC ... about 16 times a day now it was in orbit. 
- Was flying high until pilot Jebediah Kerman fell off the map, entered the twilight zone and was eaten by a cyber dragon. We salute your sacrifice but no admittance without a bonafide ticket.

... can you do better :P

Craft files would be nice by the end of this challenge. Making space planes is hard! making SSTO space plane is extra hard.

Can\'t wait to see what people come up with...

One question. Vertical launches are perfectly ok right?

Woot! I have an SSTO spaceplane in orbit at 230km, I\'ll land at the KSC and upload the pics, watch this post!

Update: Aircraft failed to return to Kerbin, the weight distribution was such that the engine flew through the airframe and the craft disintegrated, I have another more stable plane but I need to get out in this sun, it\'s been cold for so long here.

Can't wait to see what people come up with...

One question. Vertical launches are perfectly ok right?

 

I welcome your enthusiasm hebdomad. Did you see rule #2?

Rule #2, the launch has to be horizontal by which I mean has to happen on the runway and begin with horizontal movement, after which you can fly it any way you want. 8)

Looks like my glorified rocket approach is... iffy.

screenshot38.png

screenshot39.png

screenshot40.png

It needs the drop at the end of the runway to get airborne, is barely capable of a 70 km orbit, and has a L/D of ~2 with empty tanks and below ~2 km altitude. It cannot safely ditch on water. Land capability is currently unknown. =/

When the rocket fuel tanks finally get separated from jet fuel ones (0.16 i think), I\'m sure this challenge would be much more challenging. The Rocket fuel tanks simply carry so much more for their weight.

Heh, looks like I need to step up my spaceplane game. The one spaceplane I\'ve gotten into orbit ran out of fuel doing so, partially due to mis-routed fuel lines, and ditched a pair of lower-atmosphere engines, an SRB, and the landing gear (attached to the engines and SRB) on the way up. (The pod decouples and lands via parachute. I\'m not that mean.)

First, though, I need to build something that can rendezvous with my stranded spaceplane and nudge it back into the atmosphere.

You have no idea how much I have tried to do that. Try and try, space is huge. I still haven\'t had a plane or ship that can do that.

Made this over the weekend,

The Wespe:

Gets to at least 70km, all one piece, 2 stages, enough RCS fuel for orbital maneuvering, and enough jet fuel to do a controlled landing. All 0.15 vanilla parts.

Tested your design out, I really like it :) Worked fantastically, got a stable 150km orbit, and brought it back down on the pad :)

Not really, I\'ve already done it this way by using structural pylons to separate the fuels:

Phew I finally made a plane that works, and flew it, and finally finished making the gallery, the gallery took as long as the flight :)

Here is the flight of the StarSpark SSTO Rocketplane.

Teaser pic.

9xZG7.jpg

It has only 19 parts, no ASAS or aids other than the cockpit stabilizer, is extremely well balanced and completely reusable. and I think it qualifies me for the smallest ship, highest orbit and closest landing to the KSC so far.

That was a real challenge to build and a lot of fun to fly, my earlier models were similar but the balance was always just rearward enough for the planes to keep trying to tumble and eventually to disintegrate in mid air, there was one point where I though that was going to happen to this plane but it stopped just as quickly as it started.

Updated the StarSpark for 0.15.1

Thank you! And I\'d be honored to be listed. Honestly, I\'ve only had about a 33% successful landing-rate with it though, still need to tinker with wing placement.

Alright guys, I need some help.

This is my craft, it can reliably get into orbit with about 3/8th\'s of a tank left, which is used to de-orbit.

hRzlO.jpg

That\'s the problem though, when it de-orbits. It tumbles out of control until it hits the ground.

Any tips for making it back through the atmosphere safely?

DeadlyPear: I\'d be willing to bet you could take off about half of your wings, which will help balance the weight distribution of your craft. Here is a shot of the original prototype in space with the fuel level, altitude, speed, and periapsis.

1h0QN.jpg

YnuQ5.jpg

R7ipA.jpg

5 normal tanks, 2 turbojets (with intakes), one aerospike, ASAS, and RCS for on-orbit maneuvering. She handles decently well, although she can be a bit squirrely during reentry if you don\'t balance the tanks; likes to go into a flat spin around 9000m. She\'s still manageable, though, as long as you\'re gentle with her.

About feeding jets off of rocket tanks: I figure that, because they have to endure more lateral loads, the space plane parts need a bit more structure than the 'flying bear can' rocket parts, hence being heavier and carrying less fuel. In this case, however, the full low wing (see pic #2) provides a structural back for the fuselage, so the extra reinforcement in the tanks isn\'t needed. Either that, or I got tired of trying to balance two fuel systems and took the quick and dirty route, take your pick. :P

As you can see, there\'s quite a large fuel margin left over, this baby should be able to handle a decent amount of payload (if I could figure out a good way to mount it, a radial decoupler on the back puts it too far off the CG) and she can reach quit high orbits.

Hmmm...I wonder if I could squeak out a free return...

@sal_vager: No jets, I like it. Very elegant design. :thumbup:

Alright, I\'ve done it! I present, the Lunacy SSTO!

SYfJA.jpg

It\'s a simple craft (kinda) with two jet engines and a radial spike engine attached to 4 tanks of liquid fuel.

It can get into an orbit of 100kmx100km easily with enough fuel to de-orbit in the desired continent.

(Not a 100km by 100km, but close enough)

KaVeu.png

When you deorbit, you are left about half a tank of jet fuel to each engine, allowing for the ability to go a short distance if you are near KSC.

Here\'s somemoar pictures.

I finally managed to pull this off while trying to successfully convert my favorite spaceplane from .14. Even managed an unpowered landing on the KCS runway. 8)

Immediately after wheels-up, I set my nose to +60deg and held it there until around 15,000m. By 35,000m I was at +30deg and +20 by MECO

PeregrineMk15bTakeoff.png

Only 225m difference between Pe and Ap, without the use of RCS.

PeregrineMk15bOrbit.png

Just before de-orbit burn, I still had enough fuel to work with in case I undershot KCS

PostDe-OrbitBurn.png

On Final Approach and everything looks good.

FinalApproach.png

Rolled to a comfortable stop near the end of the runway. Touchdown was somewhere near the middle.

It\'s a simple design, but it works well for me.

Alright, so tweaked it just a bit for RCS controls while in orbit. Wonderful design! Very simple, and was easy to balance when recreating, just had to trim some weight so it could lift to extra tank.

Had to switch to joystick at this point...

So, I ran through some design iterations:

I now have a submission in the I hate myself (er, minmalist) category:

17 parts, takeoff weight as equipped is 8.78.* Flying it to orbit is remarkably unfun. It does at least have an incredible TWR, and handles nicely once empty. Remember to throttle down during ascent. There\'s not enough fuel for much maneuvering, but it can glide a fairly long ways.

*It would be 10.78, but landing gear are massless.

Congratulations to all spaceplane pilots, you are the right stuff, its gonna be quite a party (I hope, mine\'s still crashing!)

UmbralRaptor, thats a great little ship, you deserve a place on the roll of honour and to be added to Kay Kool\'s bouncer\'s guest list, he is quite big for a Kerbal. However, did you notice the PE is below 70,000? It just wouldn\'t be fair to take mager42s minimalist title away without a more persuasive screeny!
