GRS Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Which ? The Sheep v3 has around 3200 Tons of Mass and worths around 2.4 Million Roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's a chonky boi. I did a single launch station that was about that much mass on the pad, but it didn't have to go places and do stuff. Also I like "roots" as the unit of Kerbal currency, haven't seen that one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Wait till you see the Sheepollo...it worths 8000 Tons. (Jeb Level) Edited September 26, 2019 by GRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Also, Eve Lander takes most of the Space available, though it's "just" 44 Tons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobJHC Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 4 hours ago, EveMaster said: I performed a fully recoverd grand tour mission using ISRU. The mission follows the spirit of this challenge but technically I did not fulfill rule 9 because Bill did not return home on the initial craft but stayed on the surface of Eve. But since there was a free empty seat on the upper stage I could have easily transfered Bill to this stage and bring him home and instead ditch the lower stage on Eve instead. It would not have made a difference from a gameplay perspective. If you include the secondary mission I then brought back all Kerbins but I violated Rule 4 for a single launch. Jeb returned home in between but only after all the landings of the grand tours have been completed. I could have launched evering in a single launch and the additional stages would have made transfers even easier, but at the time of the launch I had not yet planned the orbital catching maneuver. Does my entry still count? As much as I would like to count this mission, there simply aren't enough screenshots of it in the album. The only included images are of the craft on the surface, none of crucial maneuvers, landing burns (especially for Tylo) , or the launch. If you have more screenshots, I'll gladly look at them, but as it stands right now there aren't enough screenshots to count the submission.

Congrats @EveMaster on a level one submission! I counted you as a level one because Jeb was the only Kerbal from the Jool System who returned. Also, managing to build an ISRU craft that can do Tylo? Major props to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveMaster Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Thank you @JacobJHC I'm fine with level one. I did it mainly for fun and even before reading about this challenge. In my mind a single stage tylo lander is more difficult. With ISRU you have some more dry mass, but you cut the delta v requirements for the lander in half if you refuel in orbit and on the surface. The lander already had enough TWR for Tylo from the requirements for Eve. The circularisation burn on Eve must happen fast, so that I have enough time to switch back to the lifter and land it. I only had to add the landing legs and adjust the tail fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries It's another STS mission, but this time I landed on all 5 with only one shuttle ! Here are the links : First part : Second : And finale ! There's a ton of pictures, apologies for slow internet connection (like mine :x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobJHC Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 @Kerbolitto that was a fun mission to scroll through, I just have two quick question. How many kerbals came (I counted 7 but want to be sure) and did Bob stay behind on Laythe or come back with the crew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The landing on Tylo was very tight and I had to reload quite a lot, had only 1 or 2 seconds of margin .. But at the same time I came down from Bop with an average intersection, and I still had the possibility to undock the outpost and the plane in orbit somewhere (it weights 7 tons if I remember). All in all it was a very fun mission to fly. I planned to do it on Wolfhounds with rocket fuel only, but everything would have to be a lot bigger.. This shuttle only modifications are a double Vectors set and a short Mk3 LF fuselage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All i can tell is that it must be super tight. Tight as no fuel left and 5-10 m/s vertical, bounced on the ailerons and broke them (Mk3 cargo ramp absorbed the rest). I've landed with something like 2350m/s & 1.75TWR from something like 30-35km high (screenshots in the report are a bit confusing because I used Nervas to lower Ap before retroburning, so dV reading is a little off).

GRS Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 So thin...my Grand Tour Tylo Lander won't be able to nail it that way, i went from like 12 Km with a Lander, and it barely reached Orbit with only 15 m/s to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on where you're coming from ? I've reached Tylo from Bop which took around 200m/s to take off / circularize, 62m/s to get an encounter, and maybe 750 to lower orbit on Tylo. Also the shuttle was not well balanced when empty on 4 Vectors, they gimballed too quickly and that induced some lateral speed on the last seconds before touchdown. Probably 2450-2500m/s in a symetric craft would be enough ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
