AeroPelican Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 You could start by putting it upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForumHelper Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Add some boosters in such a way that they are perpendicular to the ground and launch it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 How do I get this to the north pole without exploding? ROFL!! Love it!! Very Kerbal. It actually looks fantastic. Now, to answer seriously, this is what I would do but there is probably an easier way:- launch a one-part space dock into LKO (part of the orbit construction mod)- when the space dock is 'established' you can edit the space dock inventory (this is cheating) so that you have a lot of parts (set mass = 1000)- stick a 'spacebuilt' part on your creation in the VAB (part of the orbit construction mod)- ship 'teleports' into LKO next to your spacedock- de-orbit your creation using MechJeb so you get a precise and careful landing.- win- post screenshots- more win- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trbinsc Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Or you can do the above method, but replace step 2 with; When the space dock is established, run supply missions to build your massive craft in orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndlessWaves Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Add wheels, jet engines and a lot of fuel and drive it to the north pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karolus10 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 You could put this into orbit by releasing craft from launch clamp, then stop the game and change craft orbital parameters in persistence file (you could put some dummy object on orbit for Ctrl+V orbital information and removing it).

Atimed Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Holy Poop?!What are you doing on the north pole? Digging to the core of Kerbal?Making a interplanetary slingshot? Jeez this thing is Huge.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Where did the trusses come from? They don't look like damned ... or are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthree Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 togfox: The trusses are from the Deep Space and Kosmos packs.Add wheels, jet engines and a lot of fuel and drive it to the north pole. This seems very Kerbal. I might try it, although I think keeping it upright when driving over hills might actually be harder than keeping it together during ascent/landing.Holy Poop?!What are you doing on the north pole? Digging to the core of Kerbal?Making a interplanetary slingshot? Jeez this thing is Huge..It's an antenna, intended for connecting all my RemoteTech keosynchronous satellites. Hence the north pole.Update: MOAR TRUSSES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoup Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I think if anything like that were to reenter the atmosphere from orbit it would absolutely be torn to shreds in a horrendous explosion of amazingness that it would be a sin to miss.

A Fat Pokemon Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Depends on how heavy it is really If you can manage to get that into orbit, then simply de-orbit above the pole and use parachutes, and a bit of fuel to land safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashnBurn Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Obviously, we need a bigger VAB. If you are (pseudo) serious, you don't need that for a polar relay. The North Pole is really flat, just send a typical lander with a few antennae. That's what I do and it's not a problem....unless your relays are in really low equatorial orbits.

NovaSilisko Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 You could possibly use the hydraulic cylinders from Damned Robotics to create a compact-yet-extendable antenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatshtisthis Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 You could put it upright and get it into orbit, then do a powered+parachute landing onto the north pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
