Nice, Depending on licence and availability of code it might jumpstart this development ;-) I may have some old posters of the actual radio spectrum analysis

First step will be simple science reports using the built in system. Eventually I can write a plugin that creates an infrared image. However IRAS was not designed to look at planets but galaxies Perhaps one can access the background image in KSP and look at the milky way

Hi I'm at a loss as to how to get blender to show the texturing. Last time I appear to have been pushing random buttons while sleep deprived, but a bit more knowledge would help ;-) I've got a screenshot here: http://imgur.com/a/2FrMK I've setup (most of) the unwrapping, generated a colour image, but can't get the rendering to show. I also see a mutilated vertex in the unwrap which I can't seem to delete. Re-unwrapping it just adds another one. Any experts that can shed a light? Thanks Chris

Cool! I'll try that!

Looking into KSPWheel, perhaps there is a way to patch it @Yogui87 do you have access to the models as well? The may need to be recompiled. I mean @Tokamak

So would it be possible to use this to patch pre 1.2 mods? I noticed you included patches for stock parts to swap out the stuff that handles the wheels. I've been playing with the pandora rover from lion head and currently its non functional, but the wheelcolider is setup probably in the same way. The wiki said I need to setup the rigidbody, but I can't figure out it that is in blender, unity or can be worked around.

I think I will start "realistic". Stock alike seems harder, but I may up doing both. Figuring out how to unwrap it. Finally managed to get @NecroBones excellent fuel tank example textured so now it's time to unwrap this one.

True, but I have no experience with that. Re-textureing the outside might even be possible by simply creating a new texture file and referencing it through module manager. This is what I meant with ladders, http://imgur.com/a/XKaXh No clue how to reference them and tell KSP that it is a ladder ;-)

Ah my bad. Don't think i can do that myself Research is coming on nicely. I've made an initial mapping based on the old drawing that was used to align with Boeing on how to fit the satellite in the fairing. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/macluky/IRAS/master/Research/iras-ModelDesign.pdf

I believe ASET had some new IVA's and a kit which you can use to make one

Let me know if I can help. I was thinking about the same thing, even pieced the Lab apart, but the door and ladders may pose a problem.

IRAS TLDR; Get the latest beta: https://github.com/macluky/IRAS/releases/tag/v0.2 For my first mod, I will try to recreate the IRAS satellite. Constructed at Hollandse Signaalapparaten which was my first employer. Though I was coding real time operating systems at the time, rather than building telescopes, it still feels like a great thing to at to KSP. History Status Research mainly done. Initial model made in blender. Figuring out how unwrapping and texturing should work.

As for the wheels, we are probably screwed. As far as I can tell you need to add new transforms and animations before we can get the code going again

Quick tip for those on OS X: Right Click the Blender app and select "Show Contents" then navigate to "Contents>Resources>2.7.8>Scripts>Addons and drop the downloaded file in there. Be sure to remove any dots in the name. Then restart blender and go into user preferences and search for Mu and activate the plugin. Looks great!! (just need to learn blender now ;-)

Hi That is a great example. Do you mind if I build upon it to see if I can make my own Lunar Rover Wheels? I am new to modelling and am looking for a place to start.

Hi Shadowmage This looks very good. I want to start a new mod for foldable wheels, kind of like the lunar rover. Can I use your project as a starting point? It seems like the best (and only) example out there. Regards Chris

okay, would a mm patch set be ok? Like or does arr forbid that too? I guess even squad parts get patched

Done. Sure kills all enthusiasm to resurrect old mods. i have Bobcat's soviet pack almost running. Guess it stays a private pleasure then.

Great work! Consider adding it to GitHub so we can fork and contribute more easily.

In all honesty I did not really test with it, just shifted dependencies in proper patch files It was a bit of archeological discovery to fiddle with all the bits. Basically it just CFG work, cBBp did great work on the model. Yep, hence the disclaimer

That's why I created an mm patch to use the hydrazine from the rcs thrusters rather than the lox

I may have run into a bug. My station can house 15, but only holds 3 kerbals. As long as the station is the active vessel, tac works as expected. However after various vessel changes, tac assumes the station is fully occupied and this results in alerts when resources supossedly run out. sounds familiar? I cant exactly pinpoint what triggers it.
