    How are you attaching the LM? The bottom node on the descent stage is actually two identical nodes - one should have the engine attached to it, one should attach to the SLA. 
     

    Do you mean the SIM bay on the Service Module? It should be something you decouple. I think. If I remember. 
     

    I thought the Atlas 2 omitted the LR-101s and that’s why it had the roll thruster module. 
     

     

    my bad, I meant Atlas 1

    So just to let you all know I'm not dead :P and that work has started on the next project

    Below are 3 variations of the LR-105 Atlas sustainer engine. From left to right they represent NA3, NA5 and the last represents NA6, NA7 and RS56 OSA.

    This is still early work in progress and theres some fixes and adjustments still due. Also the powerhead is largely based on photos of an Atlas E NA6 so all the small details around there wont be accurate to every version but its broadly representative. Anyway just wanted to share since it beginning to look like something.

    Incredible!

    question: how will the booster engines be like? (minus the atlas E/F ones that had completely seperate booster engines) will they be conjoined (shared pumps and everything and also shared GG for RS-56OBA) and then also standalone ones for kitbashing stuff or will they be just single?

    There were studies back in the day for SRBs that could be shut down (and reignited!) using an extinguisher system. I don't think it made it very far, I think it was mostly a result of experts trying to push the capabilities of SRBs past what was needed.

    I remember hearing about some small upper stage solids that could cause such combustion instabilities through an to me unknown way that the combustion stops

    did such a concept ever exist?

    Syncom now on the BDB github! The world's first geosynchronous (Syncom 2, via Delta B) and geostationary (Syncom 3, via Delta D) satellite. This satellite is fully balanced, so a Delta B should be able to place Syncom in an inclined geosynchronous orbit on KSRSS Reborn, and a Delta D should be able to place Syncom in a geostationary (0 degree inclination) orbit.

    Trying to get myself in the back of the swing of modeling so I’m gonna finish one of my smaller projects: Syncom!

    A tiny Hughes communication satellite. Syncom 3 was the world’s first geostationary communications satellite! It uses the star 13 solid motor as its apogee motor, which already exists in BDB

    YES!

    Having SIb troubles again, with the H1s in the original config and the SM set to orbital I only have a twr of 0.93.  Playing in 2.5 KSRSS.unknown.png

    there must be massive dry mass issues with your rocket, while I have experienced TWR issues with Saturn 1B launching historical payloads myself, never did it go below like 1.05 TWR
