    Real Space Program [Need Launch Controllers] [Launch 1/14/17]

    in KSP1 Mission Reports

    Posted

    If you want the GSCO (Guidance and Software Coordination Officer) on site and active those are the dates possible:

    1/4. Go.
    2/4. Go
    3/4. No go
    4/4. No go

    Also if we have a 24/3 date for a launch the software might not be ready by that date or it could be unreliable, more info is to come after 20/3 for final Go/No go right now looks like No go for GSCO (Guidance and Software Coordination Officer)

    I have the 1, 2, and 5/10 tonne LVs from Joco223 here, too.

    All boosters are able to take their rated mass to a ~28o 180x180km orbit.

    https://mega.nz/#!ldNWXILR!XLau6AkeVXeibgCtHyCkGCNHQFEO7CGELfZv7ZyKXc0 (1 tonne)

    https://mega.nz/#!4cdFwSjS!XJnrgGeJ7j0lQdwum1fCT6MqulPVJcrci3GhcxRCrAY (2 tonne)

    https://mega.nz/#!JQ8nFDQZ!Deo2Sx5doevaBi76gOJACGgRv9LJAjfVATaeorueL2w (5/10 tonne)

    Not sure what mods you'd need, but you might need RT.

    @Joco223 might be able to help you.

    Talk to zoo about adding me to the group Skype and lv comms channel, the more communication between us the better

    Here's my two lifters:

    Working on a third, with passively recoverable first stage engines.

    Oh my this is awesome! And if you'd be kind enough to supply me the vehicles I'll do some programming on the weekend, I'll have to figure out an optimal trajectory so if anyone has an idea if what it is I'll be delighted to insert it

    I don't think we were in contact regarding this, but I might be wrong, too.

    We have a few stock lifter designs that we're using- 1 tonne, 2 tonne, 5/10 tonne, 15 tonne, and so on. The target orbit for all of these launches is 200x200km. We can make the initial launch mass the same by adding ballast to the payload.
    Becuase this is a manned launch, we would need the capability to recover from an engine out failure, depending on the LV. This might be a lot to program the first time, so an automated abort sequence would work best for this mission. None of our LVs are capable of boostback to Launchpad capabilities.

    Ok send me the files you have right now. manned aborts will be activated manually i think with the big red abort button. about input- i'll take a look at it, if i can figure out how to take input i'll do it. Boostback is going to be a long time in the making so you have time to prepare one :P

    For this launch, it would be @ZooNamedGames, who is the Astronaut. However, if we could get a kOS script to launch the rocket (something that astronauts usually have little to no control over) that would be awesome! Other people have said that they're interested as well, but don't have KSP installed. If you would like to try your hand at it, let me know in a PM an I can send you the LV and capsule assembly once they're finished.

    Other things that might need a script are the retrofire burn and keeping the craft in the proper orientation to the horizon- both things that Zoo can do if he needs to, but would also work well with a code.

    As for checking the code, I imagine it's pretty simple- just open up an install of KSP and run the program, no need for other controllers. Right?

    correct me if i'm wrong but we were in contact before iirc Dman, i have KSP(ask zoo he'll know). now if the LV team has a consistent lineup i could spend time writing special code for each one which would get better at each launch instead of bundling a bit of code together for each vehicle.

    (and i am working on a rocket recovery code right now- got the landing to stick,boostback is a bit tricky to get to hit a spot but i'll iron it out eventually)

    So who's in charge of flight computers/flying the rocket? because if you add kOS i might be able to help with some launches and missions. though most of the time (unless we do simulations) the code wont be checked (or you can check it if you want to and it fits within the theme)

    I know it's considered Guido(which is also called Guidance and Procedures Officer or GPO sometimes) but really your current guido is more of a GNC

    still, they surely have some theoritical models on the lox temperature evolution for this kind of cases - all the real data they'll get from tonight's telemetry would end up giving them more accurate prediction models for future launches.

    yeah but it's rare that those kinds of hold backs happen, most of the time if you get to the last minute there is a lesser chance of a launch hold, mostly because almost everything but engines is already tested by that point(and there is that static fire for the engines you know)

    How many times can they pressurize and depressurize a rocket before it becomes a concern?

    just under the amount of times that it gets concerning on

    on a more serious note- more than 5-6 for sure, the pressure isnt as bad as the aerodynamics stresses experienced during flights

    Since the download link isn't functional anymore I've been trying to recreate this as closely as possible. I can't find out what part that is under the cockpit though.

    Absolutely amazing job on this craft btw, it's literally breathtaking

    as far as i can tell it's an E or D small wing and 2 rectangular lights

    what you all seem to think is that the falcon has to launch 1 type of payload from 1 customer at a time - they have constructions that allow them to launch may payloads in one go, having stuff launching like the SpaceIL spacecraft and a few more sats and about 1/20th of the OneWeb sats that would have them split the costs even more and cost even less for OneWeb with the recovery, seeing now as SpaceX is the cheapest option AND with recovery AND with splitting room on the rocket? i say that there is little to no reason to choose any other launcher

    threading is like untangling asynchronous multidimensional pasta! 

    A) i am using this from now on.

    B) there is an easy way to untangle multidimensional pasta- you go one dimension higher i mean how cant you see it? next thing you'll say you cant visualize 4d platonic solids pahhh!
