Perhaps they can have a stripped-down Apollo (Maybe a Block III?) carried up in the Shuttle's cargo bay and berthed to the zenith port of Skylab?
its an interesting option, but iirc the CSM heatshield needed to be protected from the space, thats partly why apollo 13 didnt ditched the service module to make faster burns.
On 6/22/2023 at 6:33 PM, Raptor22 said:The easiest option, IMO, would be having a Block III Apollo carried inside the Shuttle's cargo bay. It uses a roughly 1/3 to 1/2 sized Service Module, which is enough for short orbital jaunts (perhaps to another nearby station and back? IIRC, during the beginning of Mir, a Soyuz was used to carry crew from Mir to Salyut 7, grab some equipment, return back to Mir with it, and then return to Earth), or for returning back down to Earth / Kerbin.
Just attach some manipulator grapple nodes on there - or, optionally, fly it unmanned out of the orbiter's cargo bay - and dock it to Skylab.
idk on the real shuttle, but the sock shuttle cant totally fit and kane csm

That's just the Principia navball.
i meant for the hud around the nav ball
-
i dont love the navball, but the mod looks really good!
-
im having a few issues, the proportions of the sspx resources tanks are not the same than on the kerbalism stock configs (or the consumptions), and the mod isnt working fine with the sspx inflatables and centrifuges, the inflatables are always expanded and the centrifuges or doesnt expands or they only expand till a certain point and nothing more

From all of the studies I've seen I have not seen a mention of the ET being used as a hangar and as of currently I don't have plans for it being used as an hangar but I do have some fun things in mind
oh, well, anyways it gonna be interesting!!

If I recall correctly, they planned to use it as a hangar of sorts. So, I'm guessing they'd probably have some cutting done in orbit to remove one of the ends. Maybe they'd use the LH2 tank for the hangar and then the smaller LOX tank for a pressurized module for crews to work in
this is so crazy that i absolutely love it
-
This is going hard, I can't wait to see what happens with the ET

Sooo im not that good at writing entire timelines so this mostly gonna be space with some background lore.
This AH is about concept I always loved, between 1895 and 1896 Argentina had the biggest GDP per capita on the world with the inmigrant chosing between the american dream, and the argentinian dream, but with the start of the century 20, the great depression and bad political and economical measures made Argentina descend till the current days situation.
But, what would have happened if Argentina never gone into decay, with this idea in mind I've made an save to play with that lore in mind, after a time I added more lore just for fun and likely turned into an little alternate history.
Before starting ill explain the world lore and the main differences to the real life timeline:
- The apollo lunar program entered on a hiatus after apollo 17.
- The apollo CSM's never stopped lanching, but they took an different role as LEO vehicles, as well the Saturn hardware were upgraded with the newer shuttle tech.
- The american cryogenic engines replaced the soviet engines as the main used engines for launch vehicles.
- The block I space shuttle is an very more reliable and fastly reusable vehicle.
- ESA has launch vehicles derived from the USA shuttle tech, as well as manned spacecrafts
World lore:
- Argentina never entered in decadence, turned into the second great power, and its collaboratively running the space race with USA.
- The Soviet Union never stopped existing, but there are some differences, the baltic countries independiced, the Finland Karelia and Kola regions were annexed to sweden, kaliningrade was give to poland instead of the USSR, and you should check st petesburg on the map below.
- The nationalis china won the civil war, keeping it as an west friendly country, with a lower interest in space, but having a role as an NASA collaborator.
- India is an local power, but they dont have any interest in space.
- Japan - and Korea are NASA collaborators.
- After the the Succesfull landing of apollo 11 and the Failures of the N1 rockets, the Soviet Union with their economy on the brink of a crisis decided to reduce their spending on space, still holding an important position on it, but not being the big as the power they used to be, the introduction of their low cost partly reusable vehicles Buran and Burya, and the partially reusable launcher Energia helped with the cost reduction to keep their presence in space.
This is the map mentioned before.
Now with the world lore and differences explained its time for the history... on the next post cause i have to sleep.
I'll expand this TL as much as I can, I have some plans and an interesting lore to tell.
hope if anyone reads this find the idea interesting, and thanks for taking a little of your time to read this TL made by this argie dude
there's a little sneak peak

Noted.
(will fix in a relatively near future)
Cool, I feel the stock orange already works very fine, maybe a bit darker would work
-
this looks very cool, but i feel the orange looks excesively dark
-
I love it, I need more

I neeeed mooooooooreee

where are the shuttle block 2 parts? i mean, the normal shuttle parts are and work fine (excepting the payload bay parts) but the shuttle block 2 seems to have disappeared

It does not physically move the rover to the chosen location.
ooooohh, that has more sense
1 hour ago, Caerfinon said:It will only matter when the rover arrives at a location and you switch to it. It will interact with any parallax collisions directly beneath it.
basically i have to get sure to move it to a plain zone
thanks dudes
-
Can this mod understant the parallax collisions?
also, are them really important or arent considerated?
