    KSP Challenge: "Creative emergency escape and re-entry vehicles"

    All the participants will receive their Official Challenge Badge "THE GOLDEN KERBAL" ! 
     

    again this badge? its looks like "1-2-3...100500 hero of  ... Kerbin " ?

     maybe better get @cratercracker badge on this page? Or add some word on it... like "official" . IMHO It is cool and we all can remember the different ones badges.

    Just an opinion...

    ps: but ok... if many "the same" badges system is remain the same... then if i'm getting old will do many official challenges ... i maybe looks like this... :):):):)

    KSP Challenge: Build and Fly a Space Shuttle!

    in KSP1 The Daily Kerbal

    Posted · Edited by *MajorTom*

    Hi, i build this "Kama" (named as river in Russia) PSTO shuttle (parallel stage to orbit = all engines ignites and used all time) for anoter challenge in this forum, but now... (...why not get also official badge here :) ? ) . Plus this is not are common shuttle disign... so why not post it here? And it fly good in RSS+realism overhaul and not common solve of overheating problem and hypersonic flight stability and maneuverability...

    For stock KSP:

     

    And also this disign for RSS+RO  :

    also a small one

    and small+mobile launch+solid main booster (and old one for KSP1.0.4 :( )

    Gorgeous!

    Differential yaw between those two boosters would be really problematic IRL but I love how it works in KSP!

    Try to build something like this in RSS+RO , but procedural fuel tanks still not updated for 1.22 so i cant create a good 1st stage recovery system... but for now it just Realism Overhaul PSTO and good one hypersonic glider, what well change descent precision tragectory from mach 12 to mach 5 . It parts resist temperature only max 2500 (except 4 heatshields, 2 on bow, 2 on landing gear in tail). But descent is ok . 

    ps- sorry for my poor english

    I'm having trouble coming up with a design.   I have a large mother ship that carries some smaller ships.  I want a lander that will be capable of landing on atmospeheric bodies (Duna, Lathe, Eve maybe not so much :)).  It needs to be small and simple.  It's probably that I'm stuck in a design paradigm with this, and I need ideas.  I'd prefer all mono prop for propulsion, as it reduces part counts and size, I am using Near future, so it has some really nice mono engines. 

    But How do I get a heat shield, engine, and docking port all inline at the extremities of my ship?  I'd prefer an inline docking port as the "docking bay" area of my mother ship is kinda confined, and I find inline docking easier to build.  I also want the heat shield to be resuable, is there a mechanic for re upping the ablative material? 

    I could use the inflatable heat shield with radial engines.... hmmm..... ideas?

    Eve spaceships - always are behemoths, and if it reusable - it is modded behemoths . For Dune, Laythe you can make a simple nuclear propulsion winged SSTO / or SSTO with winged lander (tons of contructions in this forum) . So there is not 1 good AND simple construction for different atmospheres.

    ps: and if you have are wings and mining module - you don't need reusable heatshield at all . 3200 for empty heatshield is normal temperature even for Eve gliding descent.

    my one-year old Eve spaceplane (not reusable, but also not behemoth, atmosphere aerobraking and gliding, not need ablator in descent and about yor asking - you can use this idea for wing protection in your ships for Eve descent):

    My prototype name it Long-Arm-ed . orbiting at 16.5 k, then fire gun, also make some kind of aim .... build  are normal spaceship to deliver it to Moho orbit later . (hit from 16.5k orbit inner walls of Mohole). Pure stock

    I create psto (parallel stage to orbit) "Kama-Ls" shuttle for other challenge, but now i thought.. why not get an extra badges here :) ..so its my flight ... 

    Parts of ship: unmodded

    Flight mod used for this mission: Kerbal Engineer Redux, NavHud, KerbinSide (for map navigation after reenty)... other mods i really not use it

    Looks great, but I can't tell -- do the orbiter's engines fire from the very start? If not, it's not a PSTO.

    of course all engines (and even juno strats at same time then i hit "space" button :)) ) , only one engine is shut down - sputnik payload. (i record video now)

    ps: and concept of return back has it prototype - maybe you know about Baikal boosters for our Angara rocket ... it is the sort of same

    this my "Kama-LS" PSTO system. It have 2 cheap boosters, 2 cheap (juno) atm.engine and 1 cheap rocket engine (trust limiter is half),

    It can deliver 2-3 tonn payload (comm sputnik) to LKO. 

    Boosters return system with 2 junos (and with its big wing are good glide)

    Main ship land with it wings to runway after orbit (but as always i get tooo much delta for orbital flight... but... as i say before it depends of payload)

    Deep night right now in my country, so I make video for this ship only tomorrow or at weekend... so sorry for this and good night.

    booster looks like cruise missile. not a problem to do this in RL

    099ab94724de.png

    construction of main ship is simple, but I made it nose with heatshield for more realism

    81d84b63a2a9.png

    the only thing is not good - the dimension between booster can be mach more , or it can be burned with main engine..(in real life). But I think I make it also in RSS for real severe test, but later (still not lose hope for FAR update for 1.2.2)

    ps; sorry for my poor English

    My "2 Strange" early and low-sci parts Mun stock mission, 7panter engine. This is a 10tonn of payload SSTO-freighter. Sorry i lost pics somethere... so today - only video. The Mun-ship is also interesting - i put this ship inside 2x*mk2 cargobays (without clipping parts inside each other).

    ps; sorry, please, for my poor English

    And it should be "true", and later recoveryvessel should be true. Maybe because it's part from mod.
