Pappystein Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Just now, Galileo chiu said: So is there a new release with the H2? as of right now it exists only as a Patch in the Pafftek (mine) Extras folder. Cobalt was toying around with a new model for one a while back and posted some new pictures of the old model. Up to him if he wants to finish it and include it for real. My Patch is nice but not amazing and will need a revision if Cobalt does not create his own H-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debaker02 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Just a general question, is there any consensus on what would have been the replacement/upgrade for the Saturn 1 if we kept flying? Probably another upgrade for the H1? H2 was going to be basically a new engine? Does the E1 fit as an upgrade (I know the timelines were not right on that engine, but gameplay wise it is an upgrade right)? Then probably SRB on the side for heavy lift? What do the people think?

The hammerhead fairing is the same diameter as the 4.25 Saturn fairing, so my mock-up of it had the non SAF fairing flipped upside down to form the adapter.

What do the people think? getting into gross speculation here. E-1 is dead at the point H-2 enters the Fray. I would imagine that S-IB would get the H-2 engine eventually... along with improvements. Biggest one being a mono-hull first stage which would shorten the rocket, slightly increase the fuel load and most importantly dramatically improve the TWR. Alternatively the Stage could be closer to S-IB stage, get a lot more fuel and have a longer burn for the first stage... Honestly the H-2 being ruled out by H-1s is not the end of the world if you look at the F-1 +4 H-1 engine option. Sadly there is no real payload options with the technology involved to warrant the upgrade of Saturn beyond the S-IB. However there is a "solution" to that. It would require that Vietnam war be ended in 1968-1969 and the need for "satellite reconnaissance planes" like oh, I don't know, Dynasoar? be viable. This would also make Saturn a Viable Launcher for a MOLesk station/satellite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it would look better with Saturn-Titan Derived 156" SRBs instead of the Shuttle Derived 148" ones. The gimbal collar would have a flat "inside" side to it and utilize a strong-back beam between the nose and tail sections... great place for attachment points don't cha know Edited December 10, 2021 by Pappystein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing so would totally break the parts because you are adding hundreds of TONS of mass.... not really an exageration there.

If you mean tanks, even tanks with default LH2+Ox can be switched to LF+Ox using b9 part switch in the part action window within the VAB. If you mean Lh2+ox engines, then no we have no intention to provide such a switch. You would need to figure out and write your own patch to do that. 16 hours ago, derega16 said: @Zorg can we have that giant hammer head fairing eventually? Yup a 3.125m to 4.25m base was already under consideration (I had seen this before). Not sure when though, due to IRL commitments I havent been working on BDB much recently and wont be able to until January most likely. When I get back will have to evaluate priorities.

CobaltWolf Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Wasn't quite up to streaming, but I've added a copper texture to the S-1E tank as well as two H-2 versions (250k and 300k thrust) as variants on the H-1D. Enjoy your weekend everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starhelperdude Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 This Thing is just gigantic It has 8 RD-180s on the Core stage, yes, you heard right, and 2 on the boosters, they crossfeed into the core (I originally didn't wan't to use crossfeed and I wanted to only use 5 RD-180s on the core but the performance was too horrible) 2nd stage is just a EDS from Roger's Ares 5 mod (I wanted to use 2-3 J-2x but we sadly don't have the parts for such a stage inspired by this on the far right: I named it Atlas Evolved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you switched the two up I used RD-180 instead of RD-170 because the document names RD-180s and I already use them on the CBC (atlas 5 1st stage) boosters ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- is there anyone who knows stuff about the IPP stuff? also, would it use the APAS port or should I use the CADS port or another port?

It was mostly because the US had and could purchase RD-180s but not RD-170s I think. That and you can easily cluster more RD-180s in the space given versus the number of RD-170s you could cluster in the same space, allowing you to possibly have more thrust. Plus, Atlas already used RD-180s, use what you know. Edited December 12, 2021 by GoldForest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If IPP stuff used a pre existing docking port it was a choice between Apollo probe and drouge, or APAS-75 (for crew transfers only, as there are probe and drougue ports for connecting things like stages together).
