Mission 61: Futurebase-4 Description: A wheeled laboratory module identical to Futurebase-2, except for a slightly larger transfer stage. Mass at launch: 5585 kg (14660 kg with transfer tug) Launch vehicle: Symphony-10t-4S Mission objective: Land on the Mun and dock to Futurebase-3. Click below to see more: https://imgur.com/a/2TNWK

(Actually the terrain settings have been changed back to "default", and the render back to "fastest". It's the terrain shader that makes things look better.) Mission 60: Futurebase-3 Description: A stationary base module with one habitation module, three docking ports, a pair of solar arrays, and a communications dish. Mass at launch: 10025 kg Launch vehicle: Symphony-10t Mission objective: Land on the Mun. Click below to see more: https://imgur.com/a/yFMtI

I made a country known as "Hatsunia": which has a space program (in Orbiter)
-
The Symphony-10t is boosted by nine Toroidal Aerospike Rockets, can lift about 10 tons of payload into Low Kerbin Orbit, and (with Mechjeb) lands precisely back at Kerbal Space Center.

Thanks a lot! Mission 59: Moon Rabbit 1 Description: A manned Minmus lander derived from the Reusable Crew Vehicle series. Mass at launch: 9115 kg Launch vehicle: Symphony-10t Mission objective: Land near Futurebase Minmus and head inside. Crew: Shepsby Kerman, Henly Kerman, Derrigh Kerman Click below to see more: https://imgur.com/a/yFMtI

(You may notice that the terrain looks a bit better. That's because I downloaded the Active Texture Management mod, allowing me to turn up my graphics settings a bit.) Mission 58: Futurebase-2 Description: A wheeled laboratory module with two docking ports and scientific equipment. Mass at launch: 5585 kg (11718 kg with transfer tug) Launch vehicle: Symphony-10t-2S Mission objective: Land on Minmus and dock to Futurebase-1. Click below to see more: https://imgur.com/a/Dh5w4

Mod Virgin - Career playing with "Better Than Starting Manned"
Pipcard replied to Dave Kerbin's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
I really love the solar panels on the Hall-1 transfer stage. The probe that lands looks really cool, too. -
How did you start your KSP learning curve?
Pipcard replied to nobbers12345's topic in KSP1 Discussion
First day, I got a satellite into orbit. Granted, I have Orbiter experience. -
After a 7-month hiatus, KASDA is finally back! I left KASDA for a long while because I wasn't sure what to do next (also, I was doing other things on the computer). After career mode and science points were introduced, I was wondering if I should start over. Eventually, I decided to keep this sandbox playthrough going. The thing is, I realized that Moon Princess 7 wasn't very fun to drive in the lower gravity. So that "mission 57" is now non-canon. Also, the Symphony launchers are now designated as "t" instead of "k". Mission 57: Futurebase-1 Description: A stationary base module with one habitation module, one docking port, a pair of solar arrays, and a communications dish. Mass at launch: 8299 kg Launch vehicle: Symphony-10t Mission objective: Land on Minmus. Click below to see more: https://imgur.com/a/ancEm

This is a problem that needs to be fixed when we have budgets: FL-T800 Fuel Tank (1.25 m) - Fuel/Oxidizer: 360 L/440 L - Cost: 1600 (2 kerbucks/liter of propellant) Rockomax X200-8 Fuel Tank (2.5 m) - Fuel/Oxidizer: 360 L/440 L - Cost: 900 (~1.13 kerbucks/liter of propellant) Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank (2.5 m) - Fuel/Oxidizer: 2880 L/3520 L (8 times the propellant in the X200-8) - Cost: 12500 (~1.95 kerbucks/liter of propellant)

Are your asteroid capture missions manned or unmanned?
Pipcard replied to katateochi's topic in KSP1 Discussion
Well, NASA's planning to do it unmanned, so... -
I want to see your Asteroid Tugs!
Pipcard replied to spikeyhat09's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
First attempt at redirecting an asteroid (to this orbit). It's a C-class. -
It looks 1.5 times wider than the 2.5m tanks.
-
Isn't this scenario based on NASA's plan to redirect an asteroid (which isn't headed on any collision course) into lunar orbit?
-
Does anyone here play Orbiter 2010 to practice for KSP?
Pipcard replied to The Russian 1021's topic in KSP1 Discussion
That image seems to be post-processed. Here are the actual graphics, with a high-resolution Earth texture pack (yes, I made this Hatsune Miku XR2 skin): For now, the default Orbiter has zero terrain. But the sole developer of the program (Martin Schweiger) plans to add terrain. It isn't procedurally generated, however, so the data (heightmap and textures) will probably be many gigabytes in size. There is in fact a procedural terrain generator add-on (Orulex), but it isn't always accurate. Since I had experience in Orbiter, I didn't need to learn how to get into orbit, rendezvous, and dock in KSP. -
That reminds me of the Kottos and Gyges-class airships from Ace Combat 6.
-
Very cool SSTO design. Those rules probably don't apply to names.
-
Like a couple other people, I'm in favor of "Kerbucks".
-
Actually, you can store multiple crew reports, but they have to be from different biomes/locations.
-
What kind of computer does it take to run KSP on high settings?
Pipcard posted a topic in The Lounge
For the lowest cost? Especially with the "one processor core" limitation in the Unity engine. also, I may want to record video. -
Cool probe design.
-
What was your first flight to Eeloo like? BTW Happy 2014!
Pipcard replied to GamerMitch's topic in KSP1 Discussion
I only went to Eeloo once, and it was with a small lander probe. -
Duna Exploration Mission (Updated in Near Real Time, Pic Heavy)
Pipcard replied to Taki117's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
Where's the inflatable heat shield from? -
Landed on the fourth moon of Jool.
