SSSTS-a Program of great expectancy

[kerbinorbiter]

Program status: hold due to SSSTS 3 mission falure 

first a bit of backround i feel as its important as it can explain the story a bit more

the kerbals had been flung into a new dimension in that they uncovered plans for a "Space Shuttle" they made one and called it "The Jeb"  they knew it would fly...but not as well as it did 

i am also going to be launching your payloads for SSSTS 3 and beyond

This is the story of the SSSTS program...

this is quite long-winded so strap your straps...were was i going with that one  

Ok, the new plan...

restart the SSSTS program at SSSTS 3 and change up things 

firstly, ill be taking the shuttle for 1 mission a day and slowly work through your suggested payloads into LEO and every 5-20 missions i will launch one of my payloads (dont have the payload over 60 parts as my pc may melt...unfortunately however you may weld the satilite into 1 part if you wish but you will have to tell me what the coordernates are)

the mods are RSS and RO (no sugested mods) SSS (space shuttle system) and ISS community (those are realy the only mods i use i will update them as i go along)

mission: SSSTS 1

Commander: Jeb

Pilot assistant Val

Mission specalist 1: Bill

Mission specialist 2: Bob

Vehicle: Jeb

Objectives Test the vehicle and retern it safely back to Earth

the Jeb on PAD 39K waiting to be lifted off the Earth, never tested vehicle

the classic shuttle cam angle with the ET 

booster officer reports good SRB sep Jeb heading for orbit

external tank separation confirmed

 

and payload bay doors opening confirmed

 

just after re-entry

 

Landed...well splashed down..but it still counts as this is KSP, right Jeb?

 mission length 2 days (48 hours as i was using RSS)

during launch the wings lighting up to create a rather good effect

flying off the coast of africa (inclination 32 degrees)

canadarm being put through its paces here it has grabbed test sat I and it will release it after 10 minuets

nearly time to release

landed someweare in africa after a mission time of three hours and twenty two seconds

im now open for payload submissions for the SSSTS Program!

[StupidAndy]

TO THE VEHICLE DESIGNER!!!

can we request to make a space station? like someone wants one thing to dock to the other to eventually build a space station?

yep and i just tested the new and improved (well its still the same vehicle) that is possable but probbly once i finish the payload booster system or a middle engine to balence the craft so it doesnt pitch up (there is acctualy a way to stop that translation thrusters)

What is SSSTS?

[kerbinorbiter]

SSSTS is a space shuttle program using Space shuttle system (mod) and RSS/RO however SSS isn't initially compatible if you turn infinite fuel it works however I don't need infinite fuel I'll post a mod list soon  so SSSTS stands for Space Shuttle System Transportation System

TO THE VEHICLE DESIGNER

Can you please deploy my "Antario" space telescope? (sure i can launch my self, but i am really bad at shuttles)

here it is-

And here is a flag made for your SSSTS mission i made for exchange

 

 

[kerbinorbiter]

Nice flag I think I'll keep using that

i don't know when it will launch as I need to investigate the SSSTS 3 failure

What about the payload?

I'll launch that today (because that's the kerbal way of investigation) and pay close attention to the SRBs however it could be that my own configs (which scale the SSS by 1.6 and scale everything else by the scale value except the mass) are out of wack for the srb Sep rockets

[kerbinorbiter]

The launch yesterday had to be scrubbed due to failure on the top SSSME at T-20 as the orbiter detected that the fuel wasn't flowing correctly 

[kerbinorbiter]

Guess what we had a different falure during launch so it was an RTLS

abort we could have done a TAL but we did RTLS new launch windo Saturday 11th march 2017
