xclusiv8 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Something went horribly wrong....Thank god I\'m on Minmus and that the low gravity didnt destroy anything on the ship. Now to get it up straight again =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Grant Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Landed at the Arch.This second series is a long-range MechJeb probe I sent out to see how far, and how fast I could get a ship going. I happened to launch it in a sort of 'Grand Tour' trajectory and got a gravity assist from both the Mun and Minmus. Passing Minmus, I was hauling ass. Look at the timestamps and you can see I was watching Minmus whip by like you\'d watch a hill or landmark on the interstate. It was just cool. The last few shots you can see me firing my final burn at Perimin to make the most of the gravity assist (as I\'d read was best to do in several articles regarding real-world probes like Voyager, etc).I was in Minmus\' vicinity for all of about 7 minutes . . .

Max Grant Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Cool! What are the arches coordinates?You know I never recorded them and I have re-installed the game and lost my save file since I was there.However, I can tell you that the Arch I was at is on the Kerbin-facing side of the Mun. You should go there when it is day on that side. There is a VERY large dark crater whose northern edge pretty much lines up with the munar equator, which lies more in the eastern half of the Mun\'s Kerbin-facing side. The Arch is on a prominent hill on the northern edge of that crater. So, if you get into an equatorial orbit, you are certain to pass over it. Orbit at anything under say 8,000 meters and you can eyeball it from there. Use the muon detector plugin and you\'ll have no trouble finding it. I understand there may be a matching arch on the far side of the Mun, though I have not tried to find it yet. Good hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shikarirock Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 SPOILER! If you like to explore on your own, find the arch yourself. If you\'re lazy, here are the coordinates:I\'m warning you! This will ruin the fun.12.43°N 39.29°E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaverickSawyer Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Search And Record. In other words, find the command pod that splashed down folloing a botched attempt to make orbit. I had planned to make a blimp with claws to recover the capsule, but 0.15.0 came out and overwrote my persistance file. > I still need to modify it to work with wheeled landing gear, since the design predated the Hangar and runway...

flaillomanz Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I re-downloaded the NovaPunch pack, and decided to have an inaugural 'Satellite Launching' to celebrate.I made a folding satellite (using robotics) inside a 3-metre fairing, and put four liquid boosters on the side. Amazingly, she flew perfectly, first time, and now look at my shiny new satellite, orbiting at 100KM (and with just enough fuel to successfully de-orbit if the need arises.)I used MechJeb to make sure I had a circular orbit for this, but the ascent was manual.Satellite exiting the fairing bank; main boosters have been ejected. This is the entire rocket! There\'s a visual glitch with the pod at the end; it is attached still.Satellite preparing to unfold and extend armsThe Kerbin T-1 Satellite, deployed and readyVanity shot from behindIt also doubles as a hedgehog in times of intergalactic war.(Any height discrepancies you see above were caused by the small LFE on the satellite.)UPDATE:Oh no! A tragedy has occurred!Apparently I accidentally tapped the 'retract' button for my robotics while at warp 10, which caused a large number of pieces to fall off and scatter. Even worse, due to an accidental shift-tab, my orbit now grazes the atmosphere at 40,000KM. Is this the end for the T-1 Satellite??UPDATE UPDATE:Crisis averted! Even though the satellite was heavily unbalanced, I\'ve managed to increase the periapsis to 80 KM. The damaged satellite will need repairs, so I am eagerly awaiting for EVA and docking to be implemented. Luckily I used an unmanned pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
