Doing It Constellation Style
Fraus replied to septemberWaves's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Oh joyous day, another think to pique my interest and waste time doing at some point!

I may get to STS 2 soon™, but as of now here is my new shuttle, I have been trying to make one that visually looks highly realistic but this is what I got. I tryed it with my block II variant of this version of the shuttle and could barely circularize, so went to block II using LRBs similar looking to those proposed to be used with the actual shuttle. So to sum it up, STS Chronus Block II 198.2 km x 198.2 km

Active reaction wheels aren't, check the kerbalX file and you'll see its disabled, originally had it for aesthetic purposes with batteries and I didn't want to rewrite all my prices and the such so I left it Also I am aware that it is a waste of money but I'm not the best at economical decisions

When you did the last ones somewhat and always ended up getting lazy and stopping, feel like I am gonna start anew even though I was at STS 4 and a flight director, so without further ado, STS-1A, meet Odysseus. http://imgur.com/a/4IBGu When you've been working on your Apollo and Saturn designs and thought you may be the first of the v4 to make a Saturn Shuttle, le sigh.

After some laziness and not playing for a while heres me actually finishing my entry. I think anyway. http://imgur.com/a/JBOkt

So I am assuming the only one I am missing is 8D then right? Or do you want me to deorbit my second one as well? Only asking because I am being cheeky and using this as an excuse to send crew to my station. Also after looking at some of these designs I may start to remake some designs specifically the orbital module.. http://imgur.com/a/kf6vX I will also link a download to my craft file when I am done working on it.

Stock Soyuz entry, I hope you don't mind me using a launch site other than the KSC but the Kosmodrome is just so fitting. For Mother Krussia http://imgur.com/a/CmP5Q Only mod installed that is used is Kerbal Engineer Redux for information no parts affected, BDArmory not used on this craft nor is vessel mover, only have that for moving an aircraft carrier to the ocean and ASDSs Also, @sgt_flyer that Soyuz is just absolutely beautiful for a stock replica.

4/4R Commander attempt sort of butchered the whole re-entry as far as being anywhere near the runway, and then I had bugs with said runway, hope it is still qualifying even after its rather rough landing BTS-4/4R
-
I don't suppose its okay to call having two wheels overstress a safe landing now is it? But hey any landing you can walk away from This just gives me more reasons to have my K2 far better and may even leave this in orbit as space junk, sigh.
-
I pretty much decoupled them, activated engines, and started seperatrons as burning for GTO
-
@Alchemist Thanks man, took some effort to put together and I need to improve it thats for sure but it works for now, your shuttle is absolutely amazing though!
-
STS-2a commander attempt, and I would like to just make sure since this isnt the same as challenge v2 in that the 1b still makes you eligible for 2a right? If not oh well what a shame but for now, And also the craft file. https://kerbalx.com/Fraus/Orbiter-K1-Buran Also I have the mod vessel mover installed, I didn't use it though, merely have that as I was putting an aircraft carrier in the ocean because I want to try and land on that because it would be a first I think and pretty cool right?
-
@FCISuperGuy Probably should have mentioned, my shuttle's name was Aspire STS-1
-
Alright, and its fine, no hassle at all, I've been busy failing the STS-2 attempts.
-
Ah well I knew I would screw up somehow, my fault for assuming I uploaded all the screenshots and didn't upload about a third of them.. Updated the same album to have the images, also would you like me to get a screenshot of the resource panel on the fuel pod? Its still in the same exact orbit, the helpful part of having engineer so you can see I mean the EXACT same orbit.
-
Well here is my attempt at a shuttle with the STS Fuel Pod, apologies on being incapable of sharing the imgur properly but I am being idiotic, so I await to be told if I have screwed up somehow. Album - http://imgur.com/a/oVOnj Craft File - http://kerbalx.com/Fraus/Aspire-STS-1

Mun Refuel Station Problems
Fraus replied to Shikashi's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
Well it may or may not be useful but have you considered a few sepratrons to use for a suicide burn landing? Enough at least to make your landing survivable and to minimize damage if at all possible I mean. -
1. Never try landing on a gas giant. 2. Never try to land on the sun either of course. 3. If your terrible at making a SSTO and can get one to Eve, don't go into Eve thinking you'll come back out if you land. 4. In general, try to keep the Kerbal flavored pudding to a minimum, unmanned tests of manned things first is usually a good idea.
