Maxed-Rockets

Proceeded.

I did that the other day. I got a sense of how overbuilt my rockets were, and how much lag has been eliminated. I started zooming out to see the other planets and felt pretty stupid.

Thx fr ponting ot me erors. In all seriousness, thanks for the help, I am only (51%) human.

Helpful guide: that only works if you upload it to an image hosting website first, and use a direct image link. http://i.imgur.com/rSNy6.png That is a direct link to an image. I suggest you create an account on imgur.com and upload your pictures there. Then you grab the direct image link and put it in your tags. Hope this helps.

Mind if I add this to the stock repository? I would like to bulk up the inventory. I like the simplicity in the design, I haven't used much beyond this: http://imgur.com/a/GjmSN#0, http://imgur.com/a/TAyAM#0, http://imgur.com/a/hftRL#0, http://imgur.com/a/qYxbK#0 in forever.

Yes, sorry I forgot to link to the album. http://imgur.com/a/TAyAM#0

My favorite is this one:

Thank you. I originally used a design like this in the last update, I am glad to see it works in full scale trials.

Hello and welcome back to another product unveil by M.A.X. AEROSPACE! Now that we have gained some lost capitol back after the success of the IP-12 and ST-2N we decided to splurge on developing a new rover delivery vehicle. Named the ST-2NR this lander design sports a survivable (barely) descent to Duna using parachutes only, but works best if augmented by the lander engines. Included with the purchase is an extended version of the base ST-2N, upgraded with the addition (to Jeb's delight) of 6 oversized SRB's. Here is the full album: http://imgur.com/a/TAyAM#0 Try it out for yourself today! Requires the Carts mod!

Full stock, very easy to fly. You have five full fuel tanks on a nuclear engine, so it has plenty of fuel.

Not too complex, the two outer tanks feed to the inner tanks, and a fuel line goes from a small hardpoint directly to the aerospike before that gets dropped off. This is the only picture with aerospike still attached.

Considering I used about 75% of my fuel and I only get about 75% of my delta-v with the LV my fuel budget might be a bit slim. I do want to do a Duna and back trip by adding a booster stage to this rocket.

That is with the smallest LV.

According to my calculations I get 4667.87 m/s of delta V from the upper stage in the current configuration, whereas with the lv-909 I would get only 3201.57 m/s of delta v. It is probably still do-able with lv-909, especially with the lower takeoff weight. The nuclear engine is crazy efficient, especially when it isn't carrying anything. I have not seen your design, so I can't answer about yours, but if you want to upload pictures I can give you some pointers. If you want to try out my design you can do that too. Designing is a practiced science, I was no good for a long time, but practice makes perfect.

It was put to good use after I forgot to quicksave while landing on Laythe... I could see potential in using this to do a manned planetary fly-by and return.

Everywhere except Moho and Gilly. I heard Gilly is unlandable anyways. Luckily a stable and easy to fly interplanetary craft was literally the second rocket I built in 0.17 so I got a head start on exploring.

Let it be known to all; that though they may be lost to us on Kerbin; their sacrifice was not in vain; but for the good of Kerbal-kind. Thank you.

Name: IP-12 Type: Minimalist Interplanetary. Description: A tiny little interplanetary lander that only sips from twelve tanks of fuel, but has fancy features like an ASAS.

Hello and welcome to the latest M.A.X. AEROSPACE product unveil! After crashing a few too many massive rockets we were pretty low on money, but in order to stay on top we had to go interplanetary. This is what we came up with. I got to Laythe using 11.5 of the twelve tanks, but had to abort the powered landing due to a lagspike. It even has fancy features like an ASAS. I have not figured out the best launch profile yet, my orbits keep getting lop-sided. Here is the full Laythe mission album: http://imgur.com/a/e8stn#0 Try it out today!

Mission Accomplished Mission Name: ST-2NP Mission Objective: Land a spaceplane on Eve. Status: Landed on Eve with no broken parts, but the landing gear are slightly glitched. For a full mission log visit here: http://imgur.com/a/GjmSN#0 The new persistence is here: http://www./?f6476hgxobkx8x3

I wanted to design a "drop tank rocket", and I think I succeeded. The main body (in the last shot) can get to Jool orbit (in theory - I've yet to time the approach properly), and the top stage theoretically has enough fuel to return from anywhere the main body gets it to. The parachute for the capsule is hidden within the decoupler, as is customary for the MkI cockpit. This is a very interesting design, I have never seen anybody put drop tanks on the inside of the rocket. Definitely trying it out later.

Put me on the list to land a spaceplane on Eve.

Oh, ok that helps! Thanks.
