Thanks Guys ! I'll try that.

Does it mean i cannot use my existing vessel to transport new parts for that station ? I got Vessel orbiting Kerbin. I have to build station on orbit around Duna. I wanted to lunch parts from Kerbin and use orbiting vessel to transport them to Duna. If what You say is the rule than i suppose that would be a problem too...

Hey. I do a "build a new orbital station" contract. I know that all the things must be new. But what about "have 1000 units of monopropellant in your station" ? It doesn't say "have a monopropellant tank in your station" Does it mean i can attach the old one and tank it or attach it tanked ? Thanks in advance !

I'm nearly sure, its not the craft problem. Main problem is, that drogue chute can be deployed only if velocity drops to 399 m/s. You have to use engines to make it so.

Hello. Is it possible to land on Duna without using engines ? In 1.0.4 used engines for deorbitation only, chutes done the rest of the job. Now (in 1.0.5) drag is too low to brake my lander, and the chutes are destroyed above 400 m/s, so i need to use engines for braking under 400 m/s. Is there a way to do Duna landing without using engines for braking ?

So if You Use Nuke engines where to place radiators ? above them ? Because it's impossible to attach them to engine. What radiators should i use ?

What is the point of radiators ? I play 2 months now and never found them useful for anything. Even nuke engines are not overheating. I've read about overheating during drilling but even this problem doesn't exist for me.

Yes I can. But its the center of mass here, near cargo bay. Also wanted to know what is wrong here.

Doesn't work either...

Every port was attached in the same way. I've used magnet and attached them outside without any rotation or offset.

RCS Thrusters attached to Cargo bay doesn't work. One pair of them do but rest do not. They start to work when i open cargo bay. Than when I'm closing it they refuse to work again. Anybody know what is going on here ? not working - closed bay: working - opened bay:

It looks like I have to prepare for more test... Thanks. Is it worth to install more than one intake per engine ? I don't understand this numbers J-x4 got 4.6 air/second. It would need at least 4 RAM intakes. Am I calculating something wrong ?

Mass flow rate. That's the key for questions about more intakes. Thanks. Still - the calculations problem remain unanswered. For intakes - I've tested j-x4 engine with several intakes. It doesn't matter which intake i chose the result is the same. Flame-out at the same altitude. So whats the point of large selection of intakes if it doesn't mater which you chose ?

Thats right. But shouldn't more intakes manage with thin air problem ?

I manage to do 400 m/s and 13000 m altitude. Thx for advices. Still I don't understand how the air flow is calculated. If engine need 1.7 air/s (whatever unit is that) how is it possible that it's irrelevant what intake i use (with amount of 0.6 or 0.9) ? Does anybody know how is it calculated ? Another thing is that normally the higher you go the air becomes thiner and it's easier to gain speed due to lower drag. As i see it's not working like this here.
