Yeah Im not too sure I want to do the tether system for this. General robotics jank has be somewhat discouraged and its kind of an odd piece that is useful for a specific recreation but not useful in general. The Aft MDA on the other hand opens up lots of options for users. The tether station from the previous page doesnt interest me at all tbh both aesthetically and functionally. But on the subject of EOSS (above being SII tether EOSS), perhaps nows a good time to give a small preview of what I'm working on right now, and thats the S4B Interstage version of EOSS where the space in the SII-S4b interstage is utilised for airlocks and various experiments. Very early WIP obviously. The telescope is going to be separate and there will be a number of experiments as well. \ Earth observation science bay

Well it’s common but not intended for sure to have left it like that will fix it when I’m back at my PC

dunno how that happened. Its not like we copy paste entire part configs when we make a new part *looks around nervously*

No there isn't, thankfully as I'd rather not deal with that complexity Er sure. I left the solid base in as I thought that would be the payload attach surface. wasnt thinking of the wet workshop option at the time but it should be simple to set up.

Done now

RealFuels support for BDB is provided within RealFuels Stockalike's own configs (I think thats the correct mod) , not within BDB itself. So you would need to follow up on that end or help them out with a pull request. I expect issue 1 is also related. Luna Rover is not on the current roadmap but people have posted various very good looking builds using restock parts. Perhaps a section on the BDB on LRV builds based on those forum posts might be a good idea @Friznit ?

Hmm odd, I'm actually not getting the error when booting up. The patch looks correct to me. The error is showing its not finding the b9 module with ID textureSwitchPaint which does exist on the part. Perhaps a fresh clean install of BDB is in order? Could be something went wrong with copy pasting or merging folders or something. EDIT: Actually the error is probably related to the ModuleSwitch in the white subtype. Looking for BDB boiloff. Do you both have the CryoTanks patch installed? EDIT: And now I realise the earlier part of the conversation did link it to that patch lol. Er yeah it can probably be resolved somehow.

Make sure that the engine is attached to the correct node. Sometimes it snaps to the one meant for the SLA.

Delta IV wasn't just because I'm interested in it, it still fits in BDB because its the culmination of half a century of Thor/Delta rockets. "New Space" rockets do not fit with our theme.

BDB boiloff simulation is based on old 20th century tech and we don't have an option for cryo-cooling, the cryo stages we have like Centaur and S4B etc would be used for launch but not interplanetary insertions or long duration missions of other sorts. We are looking at new options as we look to add nuclear tugs and interplanetary vessels Until that happens, for long duration missions you can either disable boiloff in the BDB section of the KSP difficulty settings or install the CryoTanks patch in BDB_Extras. Keep in mind this is not officially supported and you will also need to download Nertea's CryoTanks mod.

No promises but something I've been meaning to look into.

lol yes the releases don't mean much for the forum regulars most of whom are on the dev branch.

To put it more precisely the GE405H powered main “Vega” second stage was kerolox. The JPL 6K powered third stage was storable (Hydrazine + NTO)

Vega is a kerolox stage

We can certainly add a compatibility patch when Buffalo 2 is out

lol sorry, 0.4 degrees

I did? er maybe I said I would consider it, not entirely sure how it should be done given the cable attachments etc. Working on cooler things right now tho.

The S4B has a common bulkhead. I think the other tank is assumed to not. The volume utilization is therefore different I believe but will double check.

Unlikely.

Am I reading correct from above you are using the current release? There is an aero bug with the capsules or heatshields in the release thats been fixed on the github versions. We will be releasing the patch officially very soon once a couple of more small items have been taken care of.

As someone pointed out to me, its not a proper Apollo mission unless there's some plume impingement going on . The RCS plumes in fact impinge on the built in CM to SM umbilical if you can believe it. (Commentary courtesy of @CobaltWolf ) I imagine IRL they would stabilize first, disable the two problem quads and then deploy the telescope. Edit: On second glance perhaps they just meant to deal with it, not eliminate it

No not planning on doing that.

That's so cool! Glad you're enjoying the mod

I think it's probably because its missing a TechRequired field. Fixing that now (I guess it wasn't loading in career and or science)
