    Project Havoc - Mission to Eve After the Laythe Mission was such a success, KSC was confident, they could finally investigate places, which where unreachable until now. They want to send a manned mission to Eve. But not like most plans, they didn't intent to use large stacks of rockets, to get the men back to orbit, they tried an attempt to use the dense atmosphere instead of fighting against it. Project Havoc was born (inspired by the same NASA idea: https://sacd.larc.nasa.gov/branches/space-mission-analysis-branch-smab/smab-projects/havoc ). Although they planned for everything, they were maybe a little overconfident. But we will see, what surprises Eve has in stock for them...

    I would say not that many, but my modlist says otherwise. ;-) I'll edit it into the first post. Part IV: The Return Home http://imgur.com/a/T6eDH

    Part II: The Fuel Problem Saving cost by not launching all the fuel the giant ship needs from Kerbin, getting it from else where is quite a challange. Where still a lot could go wrong. http://imgur.com/a/W9b4p

    Hi I'm not quite new to the forums, but haven't been active a lot. Now I decided to share some of my epic missions with you. I'm playing this almost vanilla, just with some minor mods for precise planning, better visuals and of course, to make it more plausible: life support. An (almost) complete mod list: Distant Object Enhancement Environmental Visual Enhancements Kerbal Alarm Clock KAS KIS Persistent Rotation PlaneShine SCANSat scatterer Stock Visual Enhancements TAC Life Support MechJeb SimpleContruction Planetary Base Systems Konstruction Link to my gallery: http://richman1050.imgur.com/ The pale blue dot, circling the green giant has captivated generations of Kerbals since the beginning of astronomy. With the beginning of the space age, Kerbalkind got to taste what it could be to visit it's mysterious twin for the first time. But to find out, what it would look like to visit the beaches of this far off world, there was alot lot learn, a lot of progress to be made, and a lot of mistakes that were awaiting brave pioneers. The KSP, the Kerbal Space Program, as it was officially named had quite some successful missions: Landing a unmanned UAV on Duna: Duna Direct: The Ravenstar: The Rolling Thunder: But all these missions served only one purpose: the get to Laythe one day. Finally, KSC accumulated enough bright minds, technology and of course funds to start with this humongous undertaking. Part I: The construction of the DSV Hermes http://imgur.com/a/8QevU

    Some really nice cinematics here. I got my last project finished short ago. And as always, it tells the story of another of my supersized craft that was unexpectedly a great success:

    Also orbinaut here. Thats a nice simpit you have there, HarvesteR, respect! How did you managed to spread orbiter over three screens? Is it just in Window-Mode on an expanded desktop?

    As far as I know, they use your option . For the 'somehow' you can use a reaction control system driven with rocketfuel, or gyroscopes like the use on the ISS. That way they achieve the often mentioned 'spiraling-out' of an orbit.

    Nice chart. But it still looks a lot like our solarsystem. It would be nice, if it would also be a completely different system, regarding the distribution of rocky planets, asteroid belts, and the gas giants.

    Everytime I try to build one of these big stacks with the big tanks, the things breaks apart immidiately after it gets accelerated. Are there maybe some collision issues, or why are these tanks (resp. the connection between them) so fragile?

    Da du bekanntermassen im Weltraum keinen Luftwiderstand hast, der dich abbremsen könnte, musst du deine Geschwindigkeit auch nicht anpassen. Die Geschwindigkeit variiert mit deiner Bahnhöhe. Je höher du kommst, je langsamer wird das Raumschiff (gebremst durch die Schwerkraft), irgendwann ist es dann so langsam, dass es wieder beginnt zurückzufallen, und schneller wird (beschleunigt durch die Schwerkraft), an diesem Punkt hast du dann die so genannte Apoapsis erreicht, den höchsten Punkt deiner Umlaufbahn. Während das Raumschiff schneller wird, je länger es sich abwärts bewegt, so steigt auch seine Fliehkraft soweit, bis es wieder an Höhe gewinnt. Den tiefsten Punkt deiner Umlaufbahn, die Perapsis. Bist du genug schnell, um den Planeten beim Herunterfallen zu verfehlen, bleibst du auch oben!
