Cavscout74 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 In my un-upgraded hard career, I managed to get a comm relay/science probe in polar orbit of Minmus with just eyeballing burns on the first attempt somehow. That and landing a pair of Surveyor (thank you Probes Plus mod) landers on Mun earned me a load of science, down to two 90-point research nodes left & I have 50 points of science saved up. I think one more good Mun landing might snag me that last 130 science points. One of the Surveyors catching some rays: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeOfMaar Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I brought the Dukes of Hazard to... the moon? I miss my Batmobile now. Anyway this rover is intended to carry the engineer and the next thing or more he or she needs to (re)place on a surface base. Because it really sucks when they hold something and can't run or jump anymore. It has roughly 500m/s in Mono and carries a modest weight in LFO for the fuel cell. I updated this plane too, to be able to VTOL and SSTO from 1g rather than 0.5g.....It's an intentional challenge in that the particular main engines (Razors) are not made for SSTO but are best for the low altitudes and thick atmospheres, and have less EC consumption than the Japier engines which are tuned for SSTOs. These 2.5m Razors get bloody hot quick too... Maybe I should nerf that. Mmmm... profile view... Following this I began experimenting with the Thor Tech radiator. I may have to provide a second one for what I want. It has a novel feature idea inspired by DSEV radiators (by Angel-125).

juanml82 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I don't know what Dmagic made this magnetometer of, but it's certainly strong stuff Yep, it's holding the weight of the ship and keeping it in an angle ready for take off Edited May 2, 2018 by juanml82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Steve Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 That picture was taken at orbital velocity. Granted, this is Gilly, you could almost run to orbital velocity... Better not extend the radiators! This one was taken closer, but at only 95% of orbital velocity: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delay Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Even with KSPs supersensitive-to-velocity parts you just scrape instead of explode on Gilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can't transfer it around because that's how the resource is. I also designed but haven't yet launched a probe control point craft. This is going to take both pilots and maybe a scientist from the base, to Catullus and lead the scanner probes in.

Xurkitree Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Well, I tried to dock my Eve lander to my Mothership, Sundivine (It took me to Jool), but the Kraken took over, and ripped the ship's engines and Fuel tanks, from the monopropellant and the lander. I'm just giving up and deorbiting this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rewinderon Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Hello everyone! Today I finally managed to land on Laythe and return, after many-many days of figuring out reentry and gravitational manoevers. The craft didn't actually have enough delta-V to return, so this was the first time I successfully used other planets to give it a little boost. Very happy now, I spent the entire yesterday to design the craft and it wasn't even supposed to be the final returning version - I only wanted to check the reentry of multiple-stage craft and then refine the design. Glad it worked) Edited May 2, 2018 by rewinderon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimech Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Azi14 Asura has been upgraded to version 2.0! This bird was originally launched in August 2016 and was badly in need of a rework. Changelog: Replaced the engine with a modern one for a massive increase in durability, performance, endurance and control. Replaced the old, shaky bearings with clean, smooth ones. No more "biting", no more wheels exploding resulting in more friction, and less tendency to roll at high speed. Replaced the 50 Juno's with 8 Wheesley's for a huge increase in ISP and FPS (jet engines eat a lot of CPU power). Replaced the old steel turbine blades with multiple rings of atmo analyzers for more performance. Replaced the ugly steel beam with RCS balls as thrust bearing. Also installed a cooling system. Removed the interiour. It's not like anyone would use it anyway. Huge savings on drag and part count. Placed solar panels as windows instead of the empty holes. Removed the side doors. Without an interiour they were of even less use. Less parts. The tail propeller used a massless part as its root and as a result was limited to 65 rpm. Fixed, it now runs at 420 rpm. Moved the main landing gear from the tips of the wings to inside the fuselage. Made the wings thinner and more aerodynamic, reduced the angle of incidence. Replaced struts with autostruts. Added two more autopilot modes, they are 0, 1 and 5 degrees. Enlarged the elevator for even more pitch control. Removed the navigation light (rotating scanner). Reworked the power modes and made them more evenly balanced (AG 1-4). 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Abort shuts down everything. Replaced the Juno FMJ's (Forward Motion Jets) with 4 Wheesley's and placed them close to the center of mass. Part count decreased from 593 to 470. As a result the performance changed as follows: Max climb rate changed from 2.9m/s to 6.5m/s. Max forward speed changed from 29m/s to 71m/s. Max flight time increased from 25 minutes to 45 minutes (flying at sea level, economy cruise). Max range increased from 30km (island airfield) to 90km (flying at sea level, economy cruise). Max range at full power: 140km (autopilot at 1 degree, steady climb). Ceiling: 5800m. craft file here Edited May 2, 2018 by Azimech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
