Very nice! Will it eventually have a service module?

And will all the parts needed for it be in a single folder together?

Yes he have a specific folder, i've planned a service module and a docking junior

This Service Module for the Viking capsule could be probably a great KickStage for Sat

Texture WIP

Engine MonoProp or LFO ?

Think hydrazine (monoprop) will be realistic and good for the size of the pod

First, wow, this is really awesome, the pod is lovely and the service module is perfect :) And yes I agree for the Monoprop' as @Kaleu said, with the size of engines it's more realistic !

Really love the bare bones design of the service module! I think MP makes more sense given the simplicity of the engines. No complex turbopumps necessary. Are you going to match the capacity of those tanks to the other MP tanks in the game? doesn't look like much volume for fuel ...

I've choose MonoProp, at 0.9375 with these little sphere tank.... i've only ~53 m/s with 20 monoprop (already too much monoprop for the scale i think)

In fact i suppose that could be realistic, in basic config with a pod on top, this service module is only for retro burn. If i make a little 0.9375 MonoProp Fuel Tank, this DeltaV could grow depend on the mission and what the player want.

I need to find some balance about this, if i set in more realistic fuel capacity at this scale, he probably only have 10 or 15 MonoProp Unit, i can't think to the DeltaV with only this fuel capacity (for engine and RCS)....

Maybe have just enough to lower your periapsis from 100km to 40km?

i've got some wrong numbers from KSP. I have now something like 200m/s.

But that logic with the size of the capsule vs service module.

But i've also made 2 MonoProp fueltank at 0.9375 scale, a small and an other a little bigger. So now DeltaV could be adapted depend on the mission.... :)

Mission with the smallest fueltank extension :

Seeing those capsules docking together makes me think how about good Knes has come. Truely for me it's one of the greatest "recent" mod available on the forum. I love your work so much, thanks for it <3

Many thanks!  you can't imagine how much i appreciate that

@Well The new capsule looks superb, as always. Once this is released, what rocket parts do you plan on recreating next?

I still need a cryogenic stage for Diogene and Vulcain (0.9375 and maybe 1.25 scale)

But the next "rocket parts" is probably L3S/Ariane   (A lot of work in perspective)

First orbital launch for french kerbonaute ! With Carmen rocket. Viking is adopted !

Nice, i probably need an escape tower... Bdb and Tantares escape Tower work fine, but maybe i need one

(Return from your test are welcome if you have the latest github repo)
