Trekkin Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It\'s a revised version of approximately the first thing I did in 0.15 - make a little rover to skate around Minmus. I haven\'t tested it on the Mun yet, but it\'s got more than enough fuel to do less than perfect orbital maneuvering, and it\'s fairly intuitive to operate. It helps to pitch over with W after jettisoning the descent stage so your heading alterations are intuitively A and D. SkatingOn the padAlso, the ASAS is a huge help.

WindWolf Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 This is great!Do you use the RCS to get it upright for ascent to orbit or do you use the engine and 'take off' like a plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekkin Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 You can do either, but I don\'t really see a reason to bother trying to tilt back. It\'s faster to just take off horizontally.Personally, I aim for the tallest hill I see, open up the throttle, and do my best Jeb impression as I reach orbit, but that\'s more of a personal preference.

WindWolf Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Sounds like completely reckless and irresponsible way to fly - I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exovian Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 This is now the next payload for the Mun Runner Applications Program. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
