  1. Noice!!! I'll wait for that before releasing the skins. Question! Almaz main module doesn't have any resources, it is supposed to have because it have fuel spheres?
  2. ohhhh crap!! runs out in shame ..... I'm very sorry, just realized that I took those using a re-scaled Orion pod (to 3.75m). Never used the original 3.125m pod to build any Direct variants, only the SLS using the SSTU petal adapter (that could be a solution here too + you can carry lots of co-manifested payloads there). we're in @benjee10 hands now, if you look some pages before, he acknowledged to be missing some 3.125 to 5m interface for his pod. Sorry again!! my bad!!!
  3. of course! @PART[DIRECT_orion_ServiceModule] { %node_stack_connect1 = 1.47879, -0.31062, 0.8585, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1 %node_stack_connect2 = -1.47879, -0.31062, 0.8585, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1 %node_stack_connect3 = 0.0, -0.31062, -1.715, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1 %stackSymmetry = 2 } +PART[SDHI_2.5_ServiceModuleAdapter] { @name = SDHI_3.125_ServiceModuleAdapter_SLS @rescaleFactor = 1.25 @author = sumghai Feat.

  4. Nope, is deprecated, look at "zDEPRECATED1.cfg" on the Salyut folder, it's category is set to 0, so it loads the part but is not shown at the VAB. He don't want us to use, that's why it's deprecated.
  5. yup, that's the way to go. I'll use stock mesh and texture switching. Edit: and no more pink Soyuz, bunch of unsold units on storage ....
  6. The TDRS Network Introduction: Not exactly an exploration mission, the Tracking and Data Realy Satellite network of communication satellites brings connectivity to several key components for NASA and various US agencies. Constituted by 10 operational spacecraft across 3 Generations, the TDRS Network operates in S, Ka and Ku bands supporting basic telemetry and data relay, high speed internet access and basic navigation. Satellite Generations: First Generation TDRS: models A to G - Launched by the Space Shuttle Second Generation TDRS: models H to J - Launched by the Atlas IIA Third Generation TDRS: models K to M - Launched by the Atlas V 401 The Missions: TDRS-G (TDRS-7) Launched by: Space Shuttle Atlantis + IUS (inertial upper stage) on STS-70 Launch date: 13 July 1995 Launch site: KSC LC-39B Discovery lifts off at 13:41:55 UTC Shuttle's ET (external tank) separates from the orbiter and will re-enter the atmosphere being destroyed Discovery cargo bay opens revealing its payload The TDRS+IUS payload is released and separates from the orbiter They will slowly separate before igniting the IUS first stage engine About an hour later, IUS ignites, raising its payload to GTO (Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit) IUS second stage takes over TDRS-G separates from the truss attaching it to the IUS The Satellite deploys its solar panels and antennas Afters it commissioning period, the satellite became fully operational TDRS-H (TDRS-8) Launched by: Atlas IIA Launch date: 30 June 2000 Launch site: KSC SLC-36A Lift-off! of Atlas IIA Carrying the TDRS-8 Satellite 1 vacuum optimized engine + 2 sustainers powers the Atlas IIA Like all its predecessors before it, the Atlas IIA 1 and a 1/2 stage detaches leaving its main engine alone Also, like a great part of the Atlas family, the centaur upper stage takes over making the payload orbit insertion Twin RL-10 cryogenic engines power the high energy Centaur The second-gen TDRS satellite deploys panels and antennas and enters service after it commissioning period TDRS-K (TDRS-11) Launched by: Atlas V 401 Launch date: 31 January 2013 Launch site: KSC SLC-41 No so different than the last one, so I'll only cover some differences. The NPO Energomash powered Atlas V MECO (Main Engine Cut-Off) and retro-fire The TDRS satellite firing its own engine to circularize its orbit Well, see you next mission time!!
  7. REAL SPACE: THE MISSIONS “The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space - each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.” ― Randall Munroe Pop Chart Labs Join us, @DiscoSlelge, @HooHungLow and me in a journey trough the history of man's space exploration!! This is a series about real space exploration missions complemented with their history, objectives and details about the boosters who launched them. Missions from the past, present and future are planned, always trying to be accurate but without exhausting details, and also keeping stock-alike aesthetics. Guide: Chapter 1 LEO communications - the TDRS Network Mars and Phobos observation - Phobos 2 Operation Paperclip: The German Connection
  8. finally nailed a working BDB Delta III
  9. it seems you're using an old version of Tantares, try upgrading it
  10. no problem at all! used to be, is the PPTP/Federation spacecraft It's a decal, from the default nebula installation yup! I'll add it on the next version. I'm short on inspiration, any idea what to do next?
  11. No worries! just saying. Thanks to @Beale and to you for this outstanding work
  12. First!! Noice!! please don't forget about Europa ETS parts Europa I and Europa 2 TA
  13. Hermes Shuttle docked with space station freedom
  14. Done! V 1.4.1 * Fixed LK-1 drogue chute FS texture switch * Changed LK lander fuel tank color to gray, because it looks better.
  15. Thanks!!! Could you please make the dual R-0124M (eight nozzles) upper stage for that Soyuz 5? Is the only missing part in order to build it, please please? (like a begging child :P)
  16. V 1.4.0 Zenit now available in ETS Vulkan and Soyuz 5/Feniks flavors Vostok now in vintage green Progress updated to latest revamp LK lander now in Soviet vintage green LK-1 now in vintage green FS is still required for parachutes Many other texture and config fixes Vostok (Fairings not included) ETS Vulkan Soyuz 5/Feniks LK LK-1 Progress Special thanks to @sslaptnhablhat for his suggestions and beta testing!! Again, all credits belong to @Beale
