[NOW WITH ATLAS AGENA TARGET VEHICLE!] Project Jebini - Replica Gemini Titan

[Mulbin]

UPDATE!!

I've just added the Atlas Agena target vehicle to the main post.

[maro]

You mean that rocket that never really worked?

Yep ... worst rocket in space flight history! But it looks so cool! And it did manage to not blow up any Mercury astronauts...

Maybe as a target vehicle it "never really worked" but overall Agena is one of the most used rockets in US service - 365 Agena vehicles were launched....

We were talking about the Atlas-Able.

5 failures, 0 successes.

Even the N1 had a better success rate.

[Mulbin]

Yeah... I may even add a "failure" button for those who want authenticity I'm also making other agena variants for ranger, mariner etc.

[Giggleplex777]

Blow up on the pad.

[frizzank]

Awesome! Guess I dont need to build one now!

So, when trying to dock Gemini to the Agena Target Vehicle, things have a tendency to explode. This happened to me every time I tried docking tonight.

[Mekan1k]

Put down the kraken bait, and try again.

[Mulbin]

Hmm.... doesn't explode for me.... I'll run some tests tonight and see if I can find any faults.

Are you using any mods?

[Mulbin]

Gah, yet again it's added a bug just before I published! (worked fine on my pre-publish test flight :/ Looks like there is a small truss that needs fixing down with some struts to avoid the physics bug. I'll get it fixed tonight!

[Tankbuster32]

Mulbin, you make me feel small and insignificant. Great work once again! :

[Mulbin]

Just been playing with the Agena and it doesn't seem to be exploding any more under the new patch... can anyone confirm if they are still having problems?

Also you may find that the shroud doesn't decouple properly anymore, so far i've not found a proper solution but speeding up time will get rid of it as it will float away through the ship.

You also might see some crazy graphics glitches where another shroud (used as part of the fuselage) shoots off into the distance on weird ropes!!! only happens sometime

HOw did I miss this... Its fantastic! Great job as always Mulbin.

That is nice, these recreations are stellar.
