I’m wondering how big the cross section is compared with stock mk2 fuselage? Any chance to get a universal engine mount to fit other engines inside this airplane?

It has not been released yet, check this link https://github.com/rogerwang86/K5MilkyWay

@CobaltWolf I think the most suitable air launch platform for X15 would be C5M by RogerWang, but the wing does not have enough space to hang the rocket below, so I can only carry it on top of the fuselage like a space shuttle. I'm wondering if you can make a top mounted X15 decoupler to add some kitbash ability.

Here’s another thing I found about probe science - the Stanford antenna on Pioneer 6 and the dipole antenna on Alouette actually function as frequency sounder to study the electron density in ionosphere. It might be appropriate to add bd_ionelec experiment to those antennas. https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1965-105A-04 https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1962-049A-01

Some issues about the OGO satellite. According to this figure on NASA documentary, the experiment boom 2 and 3 on OGO should be UHF and VHF antenna. I checked the NSSDC webpage, the charged particle experiments (on boom 3 in game) was done on the forward experiment boom, and the probe does not have gravity experiment (on boom 4 in game) onboard. However, it has a trapped radiation experiment on one of the OPEP. https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/displayExperiment.action?spacecraftId=1966-049A

DELETED

Try to delete and reinstall the latest version of BDB, SOCK and all dependencies.

Not sure about the Gemini part, but it seems that the model of space shuttle rudder is missing. Go to Gamedata/Benjee10_shuttleOrbiter/Parts/ folder, see if there is a file called “OV_rudder.mu”.

Everything looks fine in your picture. The enriched uranium in the reactor and container are full, so no resource transfer would happen.

Are you playing with the dev branch of near future electrical or the public release? If you are using the development version, you should delete “systemheatfissionreactors” folder.

It might be too early to ask this. I guess the upcoming voyager will use IRL mass, but the Centaur D/Star37 upper stage for voyager was using 25% scale. The star37 is way underpowered for an IRL scale voyager.

I think the mass should be reduced as well. The gross mass of Viking orbiter/lander is around 3.4T. Using 25% scale, it should be less than 1T, but now it’s much heavier if we consider the lander.

Viking orbiter uses a single RS-2101 engine derived from minuteman postboost vehicle thruster. The max thrust is 1.39kN in reality. So the TWR should be that low.

Such a beautiful satellite! I wonder if you would add real Seasat 1 parts to BDB? Also, the waterfall config for Pioneer6 midcourse engine seems to be missing, could you add it to 1.13 release?

Happy to see Voyager 1/2 is on the list. Would you add parts for the conceptual design of Voyager? Like the pioneer orbiter in BDB https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19750012367/downloads/19750012367.pdf

Just getting excited

Hi @CobaltWolf I know you have adopted the Viking lander model by Akron, are you continuing to finish it? Will the Viking orbiter be released alone? thanks!

RO通过cfg文件的rescalefactor调整部件大小，不需要安装tweakscale，把tweakscale删掉再试试 RO simply use Rescalefactor to adjust the size of parts, I guess tweakscale overwrites the patch of RO, you should not install tweakscale

RO团队已经很久没更新BDB的补丁了，这个mod近期出的部件不支持RO The RO config for BDB has not been updated for a while. For recent parts in BDB, the answer is no.

Hi, @Lil_Bread402 I wonder if you could make a saddled version of the Freedom truss? Like the spinal truss in near future construction.

Found an issue with NFLV TR107 waterfall patch. The “EFFECTS {}” syntax was missing after removing original effects. The engine is soundless.

For people who don’t want to launch two probes at the same time or wasting fuel on empty fairings. I wrote a small patch that add single payload option for Voyager Mars. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Anlnec-q1Uv7hBAjFRlddUfBqw6L

@MATVEICH_YT Looks like the suncatcher transform of the solar panel on HTV_PLC is missing. The panel is not generating electricity whether it is facing sun or not.

I have updated this patch to support realfuels, it would be better to put this to RSS release thread since the patch removes stock resource definitions. Rational resource support incoming. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Anlnec-q1Uv7g1S8TUVTa6IswfD4
