Yes Jeb, you're a long way from home The true heroes of the expedition The rest of Jeb's ride which, I'd better start fueling up ASAP. According to TWP, if I want to bring him and the gang back anytime soon-ish, the time to go is now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronus_Aerospace Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Today I started working on the tail fin of my A380. It's a heavy WIP, but I love how well it demonstrates the sheer scale of the A380. Makes me super excited to work on this beast! Real A380 tail fin for comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to re-organize the script so it's easier to understand, and also generalize it for an arbitrary inclination launch. I will then share it for all who are interested!

How tight is fuel for something like that as far as making it back from a single landing for refeul? I've been struggling to shed weight/size for a small hopper that isn't so hard to fit into a rocket design elegantly. I can't believe I never though of sideways short 1.25s. I plan to hop a few times then refeul and start all over again. I'll conquer the moon in one mission. (At least enough to finish my science tree.)

This Pea variant has a bit over 2000 m/s on it. I had about 450 left when I hit Duna orbit, and my retro burn had brought it just a hair below 2000. So there was plenty left to RV with the fuel tank. Trickiest bit was docking with it as the lander has no RCS and the fuel tank had no control; luckily it's rather nimble so just spinning it around and tooting with the jet to get it into position was pretty easy. If you go with the Onion (only one crew) it has much more legs on it, over 3000 I think; it would no doubt work well for biome-hopping on the Mun.

However, the kOS scripts are basically text files and not particularly large, so it would be easy enough to just put them on my Google Drive, and then link to that when I put the rocket up on KerbalX. On a different note, the generalized script should be capable of landing the rocket at any coordinates (with in reason that is. It can't fly it to the other side of the planet). So theoretically one can land on a droneship using it! Or at least blow a hole in it because the script doesn't know there's something projecting above sea level there.

Zaphod12 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Continued with my ripoff Apollo missions using the Bluedog Design Bureau mod, today I sent a Mun rover (In fact two, since I did two missions today) for the very first time. Am planning to launch my final Mun mission of this Apollo program tomorrow, as well as do a Apollo-Soyuz ripoff and perhaps an Eve/Duna flyby mission (As mentioned before, I did Skylab and Apollo at the same time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 These Soviet parts make everything look better. Here's my first recoverable booster. Somehow it manages to look like it was designed by Tupolev. On the way up... ...and down... No landing gear so it has to ditch. My first attempt wasn't 100% successful, some bits came off when I hit the water, but I did get all the expensive stuff back so I'm still counting it a win.

It is simply glorious and how come this isn`t allready reality? All the recent tail-suicide-burn-reusable-whatnots look cool and work but this far more reasonable in my opinion. Again, excellent.

If they’re just text, you could probably share them here (or rather in their own thread), just using the CODE function in the menu above if they’re only a couple kB.

Triop Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Career mode is starting to demand more heavy duty vehicles, so I'm adapting. Right now I'm testing a sorta kinda Blackbird thingy.
