Radial balancing weights


Alshain

Recommended Posts

No, these were specific parts about the size of the batteries (some smaller, some larger) that just add mass to one side radially and you could mix and match for mass. I'm trying to balance a satellite where I only need 1 DTS M1. The satellite is so small that the mass of that little dish throws it off and makes it hard to maneuver. I could just put a useless extra antenna on the side, but that just seems to lack... elegance.

If I could do models, I would just make a pack myself.

EDIT: Redacted because I was dumb and I don't know how weight works.

In response to the OP, weights aren't very commonly requested because every pound you have on a rocket or payload is fuel that you have to take with you.

There was a mod someone pointed me to a while back that had balancing weights (not NRAP) for balancing loads. I can't seem to find it now, can anyone help?

I know the one, it was a set of detachable weights made for balancing out aircraft as fuel loads changed during the flight. I had it myself, but no longer have it installed and don't have a link to it so there was some issue with it... can't remember what though
