[1.6.1] Chaka Monkey 161

[YANFRET]

AMLV Orion II & MLS - Orion Exploration System

Okay so we've talked about an expanded diameter reusable Falcon 9 system paired with Orion, now lets look at some applications. Here we are pairing the reusable system with MLS, EUS ( TALUS ) and the venerable “Observatory Lander” to provide extended mission lunar exploration. Presumably the lander would offer it's own return to orbit capability based on the expanded delta V pool of the related systems to get it on the Munar ground with minimal use of on-board prop. Assembly altitude is 500 Km with initial Orion circularization at Chaka standard 152 Km. 

 

 

 

 

 

PS: Bad on KSP forums for not spell check recognizing the word circularization ... really??

If you read the Topic

"[1.3.1] ♦ Chaka Monkey Evolution 131 X"

 

what did it say to you??? Right, it is for 1.3.1 and not for 1.4.x. Roll back your KSP to 1.3.1 and it works or wait until it is updatet.

[YANFRET]

Because we love you guys...

So glad to see this mod has survived the two game versions I missed while taking time away from this game!

Thanks Yanfret and all others.

Truly a great mod.

Cheers.

Also, Chaka wishes to thank our awesome 1.3 beta test team: @Space Kadet , @OV-102, @Jarlgnarök, @davidewei , and of course @MeCripp for putting in many hours of science which made the quality of this release possible.

is it possible to use this most recent version to update older versions?  I am running missions in 1.3.1 rss and just wanted to update the CMES directory,  and continue to use the originally included dependencies that came from the 1.3.1 download?

thanks for this great mod and all of the fantastic work.

Cheers.

[sp1989]

Congrats on the release! Fantastic job! Great to see this mod back.

Pieces missing for this launcher

Also really sucks getting all the way to the mun only to realize you dont have an engine. The Kerbals were really liquided. Which engine goes there.

Hello all;

For some reason I am having problems with this latest version of CME.  My standard stock ships, as supplied by the download, are getting all flimsy and trying to break apart during launch.  I am using all of the same mods (mechjeb, kerbaljoint, etc) as i have in previous versions of KSP.

I am starting to run tests to try and trouble shoot this, but i was wondering if anyone else has seen this problem with the latest release of KSP 1.4.3 and this latest release.

thanks for any and all help, ideas or other.

 

 

Found the problem.

somehow i had a corrupted version of KJE.

All works as it should now.

Cheers.

Hello, I have started playing this pack and it's really awesome!

I am reading the Product Information Cards about the Duna mission, but I am confused about how the various Tranfer Vehicle, Drop Tank, etc.., must be used, it involves a lot of docking and undocking but it's not clear to me at all. Can someone please explain ?

Thanks

Great!

The idea is to assemble the vehicle and turn off fuel consumption on all the tanks except the center one, then burn it out completely to get the fastest transfer speed possible. Once spent, the vehicle splits by un docking into the 3 sections, and the center drop tank can be discarded. Once out of the way, the drive section and habitation section can re dock and complete the mission.

 

Cheers!
