  1. I don't know about anyone else on here, but I know that I will play this game even if resources is the last thing they add...
  2. Heh don't worry about it. I don't really mind you using my layout (if you credit me).
  3. That looks uncannily like my mission log layout...
  4. I think I might sometime in the future. Although I had a bit of a derp as well. For some reason I was mixing up density and pressure, so in my graphs I wrote density instead. Pipcard reminded me in my mission log, and I edited the graph, so it's no biggy. You will want to edit this though.
  5. Edited. Thank you. For some reason my brain was mixing up the two.
  6. Thanks. Just thought graphs and maps would be a bit prettier than a wall of numbers and words; even if it did take a bit longer to do.
  7. Alright, just finished mapping all the locations in Photoshop and making the graphs. You can read the full mission log Here. Now first off, we have the approximate drop zone of each probe: (Swap the N and W on ISSO 2 Delta) Key- Mission name Payload name Longitudinal position Latitudinal position Here is the data collected: Average pressure of Kerbin - "0.96093" Edited. Changed density to pressure.
  8. Mission: ISSO 2 (Alpha through Foxtrot) Mission Objective: Find the average atmospheric pressure of Kerbin. Launch Vehicle: LV8A ~ A simple launch vehicle with two radial booster stages that feed fuel into the center stack. Payload: KADR (Kerbin Atmospheric Data Recorder) ~ A vehicle designed to take measurements of Kerbin's atmospheric pressure. Mission Outcome: KAAST Launched five* probes to land at different locations on Kerbin. Each took readings of the atmospheric pressure of Kerbin. See the Mission Highlights section for the data that was recorded. Mission Successful. *A sixth probe was dispatched at KSC to take readings. It was never considered to be "launched". Mission Highlights: Basic ascent profile of each probe: Each probe safely landed (not including the Foxtrot probe): Landing zone of each probe: Data collected: Average atmospheric pressure on the surface of Kerbin - "0.96093"
  9. Not too long. I spent 43 days on a transfer to Duna. And that was on like... Day 8? So roughly 55 days.
  10. I think this is the definition of Kerbal Space Program.
  11. These are not especially hard to see when you're in an equatorial orbit around Kerbin. Just get into a high orbit and make sure its not inclined at all (to the best of your ability) and time warp. Every 10 orbits or so will have one (make sure its a high orbit for maximum time warp).

  13. I did make a thread about it, the day that .18 came out. But it was different then because no one really knew how it all worked. I think it lasted four pages before someone finally figured it out. syvmn, you're lucky...
  14. Middle mouse button (usually the scroll wheel button) will unlock the camera from your ship's center of mass.
  15. Mission: ISSO 1 Mission Objective: Send an ADP to Duna and record data from its scientific devices. Launch Vehicle: LV7A ~ A variant of LV6D that includes 2 radial engines and does not include an SAS module in the nose section of the stacks. Payload: ADP ~ Short for Atmospheric Drop Probe. Includes all 4 scientific instruments, and light landing legs. Has 1015 units of electricity, powered by 4 radially placed OX-4W 2x3 Photovoltiac Pannels. Mission Outcome: ISSO 1 gets into a 90 by 90 kilometer orbit around Kerbin, and transfers to Duna within roughly 14 minutes of orbiting. It receives an 8 million kilometer periapsis that is lowered to about 9 kilometers, in preparation for aerobreaking. After separating from the transfer stage, it faces retrograde upon entering Duna's SOI. Hitting the atmosphere at 3.5 kilometers per second, ISSO 1's heat shield is put to the test. It skips off of the atmosphere and begins floating back to space; however it doesn't get far. After gliding about 16 more kilometers, it begins to fall back to Duna. The sizzling heat shield is decoupled and the parachute comes out. The probe lands at 4.2 meters per second, and the following data is collected: Information from the GRAVMAX Negative Gravioli Detector - "02.88m/s^2" Information from the Double-C Accelerometer - ".29g" [sometimes at .30g] PresMat Barometer - "0.0631" 2HOT Thermometer - "-032.09" Mission Successful. Mission Highlights: ISSO 1 on launch pad: Transfer Stage: Transfer periapsis: After entering the SOI: Preparing for entry: Extremely fast entry: Tearing through the atmosphere: After bouncing off the atmosphere: Decoupling from the heat shield: Safely Landed: Dayshot:
  16. Just landed a ADP (Atmospheric Drop Probe) onto Duna. Will update once I take all the readings and sort out the screenshots. Edit: Just logged the mission. All the data and screenshots can be found here, in the KAAST Mission Log. Here's a screenshot:
  17. The other day, I subscribed to the new channel as soon as I saw it. It was interesting seeing those old episodes from long ago. Anyway, I emailed you a flag! Hope you can get it to place in the correct direction! Love your videos mate.
  18. Thanks so much! And yeah ahah MLP is great /) I'll try to keep it updated with new crafts when I make them!
  19. The Kerbal Association of Aeronautic and Space Technology is an emulation of a real world space agency's approach to aerospace technology development. You can look at our mission log here or in my signature. This will more or less be a thread showing off KAAST's creations. And because the mission log shows off more space design, this thread will be focusing on the aeronautic side of the Association. All of the crafts you see have been through numerous tests, and are all declared able to take-off, sustain flight, and land safely. Crafts: A stable and efficient jet that can fly for a fairly long time. Like most crafts, it will tumble on the ground at high speeds; however with proper control, you shouldn't have much of an issue. Download Link. A variant of Pegasus A. This is the easier-to-fly model that uses different surface controls in better places. This however lowers maneuverability.. This craft features an abort sequence, press backspace and once clear of the vehicle, press the space bar. Download Link. Saber is a very easy vehicle to fly, due to the fact that it has been rigorously tested and has been made very stable. It does not include an ASAS module, like its VTOL counterpart, however KAAST did not feel like it needed one. This craft features an abort sequence, press backspace and once clear of the vehicle, press the space bar. Download Link. A VTOL counterpart of the Saber. This craft features an abort sequence, press backspace and once clear of the vehicle, press the space bar. You will want to active the RCS and ASAS system. It is possible to take off without these two things, however I wouldn't try it. Toggle the VTOL engine by pressing "2" (two). Once you've lifted off, press "1" (one) to activate the main engine. Leave the VTOL engine on for a few seconds as the main engine turns on. After you have sufficient lift, you can shut down the VTOL engine and disable RCS (and ASAS, if you want). Durring take off, do not leave the VTOL engine on too long with ASAS simultaneously activated; shaking will occur. It is also possible to land on the VTOL engine. Slow down by activating your VTOL engine and deactivating the main. Slightly pull up (if you don't have a joystick, use trim with precision controls) and cancel your horizontal motion. You will rise up a little, but keep one hand on the throttle throughout the process. Download link. This thread will be updated when more crafts are added. I will try to keep uploaded crafts on the latest version, to the best of my ability.
