    Doing It Orion Style

    in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas

    Posted · Edited by Bottle Rocketeer 500
    added parachute bonus

    One wise kerbal once said, " Reach for the stars, and you will be successful." So, the KSP took it literally and decided to reach for the stars with their "amazingly awesome" spacecraft.

    The Challenge: Do the Orion missions listed below

    Orion Command module should be accurate and have 3 seat for stock, 5 seats for modded if possible.

    Following bonuses apply to all:

    Chute-O-Matic 3000 -- Have three main chutes and two drogue chutes, just like the real Orion does. * + 15 points

     * If using mods, and restricted to less, please note that in your submission post. Then, I may give you an exception. If not noted, but in the aforementioned situation, you WILL NOT get the bonus

     

    Note: You must complete previous mission to continue on to the next one.

    EFT-1

    Deep Space Gateway (DSG)

    Mission Objective:

     Assemble a ship to go to Duna using the SLS in elliptical polar Munar orbit with AP above Munar south pole. Also, develop the SLS Block 2 Cargo and Block 1B Crew.

    PHASE 1

    EM-2 to EM-5

    Spoiler

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    OBJECTIVES APPLY TO ALL MISSIONS IN PHASE 1

    Kill a kerbal! -20 points

    Free Returns! - Launch the mission on a Munar free return trajectory(EM-2 Only) + 15 points

    Splashies!! - Splash down in the ocean to conclude the mission + 10 points, +20 points if ocean is that one west of KSC continent, east of the desert.(noncumulative)

    Solar Backup - Have enough battery power to complete the mission purely on batteries if needed. +15 points

    Solar 4 - Have 4 solar panels on the Orion MPCV +5 points

    Abort, Abort! - Have an LES + 5 points

    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    MISSION SPECIFIC MISSION OBJECTIVES

    EM-2: Launch an SLS Block 1B Crew with the DSG Power and Propulsion Module and put it into a Cismunar Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit(DO NOT DOCK THE ORION TO THE SHIP!!!) Station part needs 2 docking ports, one at the front and one at the back.(Station part needs solar panels and ion engines.)

    EM-3:  Launch an SLS Block 1B Crew with the DSG Habitation module with space for 4 kerbals and dock the station segment to the power&propulsion module's front DP and Orion to HAB's front docking port(HAB has front, back, top, and bottom DPs, DP orientation is when spacecraft is horizontal, deploy SPs and then bring Orion home after the crew "tours" the DSG.)

    EM-4:  Launch an SLS Block 1B Crew with the DSG Logistics module, which has only one docking port(on the bottom) and dock the module to the top DP of the HAB, same procedures with Orion as in previous mission.

    EM-5: Launch an SLS Block 1B Crew with the DSG Airlock module, which should have 2 docking ports(front and back) and have a crew hatch and crew capacity of at least 1, but no Kerbals living in it. Dock Orion to the HAB's bottom docking port. Dock Airlock to HAB's front docking port, DO NOT RETURN THE ORION TO KERBIN!

    EM-6: Launch an SLS Block 1B Cargo with an empty Duna mothership onboard, which must have capacity for 12 kerbals and have space to install things with KIS/KAS, which are required unless you figure out how to dock stuff in your cargo space. Dock it to the available docking port of the airlock, fuel will come on later missions. Send the Orion spacecraft already at the station home.

    EM-7: Launch an SLS Block 1B Crew with logistics for the DST to the DSG. Dock Orion to the HAB's bottom docking port. Place logistics in the DST's cargo space.

    Eeloo SSTO

    in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials

    Posted

    Mk3 Maniac,  if you want to just go to Eeloo and back in a single stage without mining, you can use ion engines for the transfers, and nuclear engines for Kerbin orbit circularisation and R.A.P.I.E.Rs for kerbin ascent, that is for a small Mk.1 SSTO. That was done in Hypnautical's youtube video "SSTO to Laythe and Back Twice Without Refueling"

    [Resolved] Mod Help Needed: Custom Heat Shield Resource not burning out on reentry.

    in KSP1 C# Plugin Development Help and Support

    Posted · Edited by Bottle Rocketeer 500

    I am writing a module config, which replaces the stock Ablator resource with a more realistic one. I got it to replace the resource with the new one, but the new one does not ablate upon reentry. Can anyone tell me what code I'm missing?

    Edit: @TheRagingIrishman, thanks for explaining the problem. @Benjamin Kerman, the current numbers are just placeholders for later.
