Going Orbital! IVA mission to orbit and back. A mission where we finally make orbit. The second flight in the series, all in IVA view. The rocket is also fully automated, running a custom KoS script that controls the entire flight. https://youtu.be/xOQvS9NcKKI

Fully automated mission using KoS
-
A video showcasing the KoS script I have to orbit the shuttle. It takes it from the pad all the way to circular orbit. Then we fly it back to the island runway!

Just a silly video of a rocket… with rocket intentions.

In theory using KoS and two beacons, one at each end of the runway you could write a script that maintained glide slope but throttle input would be pilots.

Hi. The hey best way to approach rendezvous is to wait till object it about 1/4 orbit away from launch site and launch into an orbit 10km below and allow spacecraft to catch up. -

Designed a new Launch vehicle in KSP using KOS. This is the testing of the Launch Escape System.

Rocket Design Help?
MoonMan22 replied to Elroy Jetson's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
With 1.6 as you design the rocket, each stage will display the amount of DeltaV on the right staging panel. At the bottom is the total for the whole rocket. Use that plus This Delta V Map to design rockets that will achieve what you want. -
Reusable Rocket Trajectories
MoonMan22 replied to reducing's topic in KSP1 Gameplay Questions and Tutorials
Hey check out my vid. Might help. Also this vid I actually re-use the booster. -
In this series, I make KSP replicas of real life rockets. Todays rocket is Arianespace's, Ariane 5.

Someone suggested trying to land a rocket on the helipad on top of the VAB. I did that and then took it a bit further by flying a 77 Ton rocket up to space (71,000 m) and then landing it on the helipad.

Fully Recoverable Launch System (Both Stages)
MoonMan22 replied to MoonMan22's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
Haha Thanks! Maybe in a few years it will! -
So I decided to take on the challenge of building a fully reusable launcher in KSP. Second stage recovery proved to be a bit more difficult than I thought. But in the end I'm happy with the result. Both the Booster Stage and Upper Stage are fully recoverable, in the configuration in the video the crewed module is also reusable. The only piece of discarded hardware besides the fairings is the O.M.P or Orbital Maneuvering Pack. The Skywalker Booster is designed to return to the launch site for LKO missions. In the event the Skywalker Booster needs to be used for GTO missions or beyond, it can be recovered at an alternate landing site downrange. The Skywalker Launcher can also be used for Polar Orbit Missions with recovery sites prepared to accommodate both stages.
