New Horizons Mod!

[RenatsMC]

Hi i have noticed that there is no Horizons Mod. I'm sure ksp community know what is Horizons.

And finally it's 2015 and it's awake from it's sleep back in January and on it's mission to send back more data from Pluto and Kuiper belt

Since Soonâ„¢ will be KSP 1.00 would be nice to see new Probe out there ?

This would be great. Would the pack include the launcher as well, or just the probe? And would it be balanced for RSS, or the default Kerbol system?

can someone illuminate the uninitiated on the concept of a horizon mod?

Should go in the Addon Requests section.

Seems like a cool idea, and doesn't look that hard to make.

True. It is cool and people who play around with RemoteTech http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/83305-0-90-0-RemoteTech-v1-6-3-2015-02-06 will love it .

First Probe then we can think about launcher. First i want to see it in default stock game of KSP.

You mean shine some details of the Horizons mod <<< or ?

Complacently agree with you i just wanted to see what ksp community thinks first.

I think he meant more about what part of this or what aspect is it you wish you could see be part of the game or have a mod of.

The outer planets/dwarf planets? The ship itself?

Don't tell me what to do!

Honestly, I wish Stock added a few more bodies really far out there, something you might NEED to to have to do an orbital slingshot procedure out of Jool to get to. Of course, nothing would stop a player from just building a KSP monstrosity and visit the outer worlds with a 400 ton vessel (plus the fuel).

For the probe itself, it's easy enough to make one as it is (you might have to get RemoteTech for the dish).

I'd love to see an all-included probe body covered in gold foil. Some reaction mass, electric charge, some experiments (I'm told you cant mix two experiments on a single part...), some reaction wheel control (like, almost none), some monoprop, included RCS blocks (small, weak) and, of course, absurdly priced.

I'll probably eventually make a custom config (or new/dupe parts) for RemoteTech so I don't have to use the XBOXHUGE dishes. In real life, small dishes are more than enough to receive data from the earth. I might give them absurd prices and kill the data transfer rate for science to nerf them comparatively to bigger antennas, though.

I came across thos New Horizons Probe 3D Model a while back when I was looking through NASA's website. Maybe it'll be useful for someone?

Stock RTG, Remote tech2 dish. We got 2 parts already done. Now just the body left and instruments.

For the fuel tank you can use the mod: Fuel Tanks Plus, it's not the same but it looks nice
