Constellation Mission Packs Discussion Thread!

[Majorjim!]

Lol, I just finally found this.

I have a good idea for the habitation, but I think I might want to wait for Unity 5.

I have a slow and laggy mac.

DMSP out.

Oh, my Orion is complete.

Photos as soon as I can get Imgur working.

I also found a bunch of Constellation Animations/Videos.

Sorry to spam you guys with videos...

- - - Updated - - -

And our favorite:

Yup, I've been watching those videos for a while for inspiration. In fact I intend to recreate that last video in full.

And that is why I did the simpler Altair version.

Oh and no pics yet, but 6 man Orion is buildt.

Cool! I'm happy to have a three man Orion and just do two launches. I think making a larger crew capacity always ruins the look of the orbiter.

That first one is part of the cargo versions isn't it? I think it's part of the Moon base parts.

I will too. I'm also doing the moon missions and the moon outpost.

Yup. In fact, I'm designing my mission around having 3 people. It makes it easier for the SPR rover, Altair, etc.

Three Kerbals for the whole mission?

[Zucal]

Three Kerbals for the whole mission?

Possibly. That may change, but I want to make sure I'm not burdened by having to have extra crew capacity. The crew lander can hold a max of 4 I think, and the SPR 3. I mostly have the current limit for the MAV, but if I can make it have 4 or more then I'll see.

Ok. There should be two SPRs if you can fit them in. I have toyed with the idea of 4 Kerbals instead of 6. As my hab module only holds 4.

[Zucal]

I do have two SPRs, at least I plan to. One for each lander, right?

Yeah thats it. One per lander.

Alright, I just made an Ares I and an Orion. Photos of the first mission will be soon, the Orion has a lot of Delta V. Too much actually.

Kewl! What pics are you guys basing your Ares v on?

[Zucal]

Using this one to get a good sense of scale for the two launchers.

[LABHOUSE]

As this has never flown, both are 'correct'.

Different versions of it, same craft.

[DMSP]

The Second mission for my Orion is rescue a crew of 3 stuck in a Nautalis-X Replica in a Inclined Elliptical Munar Orbit. That's the last test before I finish the Orion and Ares I.

[LABHOUSE]

Is it bad I want to make a human mech suit for kerbals for added realism?

Lol. Launching the Orion. Time to save some crew (It can be unmanned).

[Zucal]

Almost done Ares 1. Doing a static fire for the Orion because I had an overheating accident a while back, then I need to mount Orion on top and do the LAS.

[DMSP]

So, I'm about to dock, when I realize something.

A) An Ares I got me all the way to the Mun

I forgot Booster 'chutes

C) The Orion has no RCS

I'll continue to save the crew, but I need to do some revisions.

[Zucal]

DMSP, can you show us your Orion/Ares I?

[DMSP]

Ok, It's uploaded but Imgur isn't working! Dangit!

I'll be back ASAP!

Here it is!

Honestly, this is one of the best ships I have ever made.

Good job dude! I think we have to accept all out Orion will look the same!

[Zucal]

Lookin' good, DMSP! My Ares 1 kept shaking itself to death, I just discovered it was the mono prop tanks in the Orion clipping.

Edit: Hmm. That didn't totally fix it.

[DMSP]

AHH!

I forgot the Mono again!

Thanks for reminding me, and good luck!

[Zucal]

That's my worst fear, we'll present our recreations and find out they all are almost identical
