Constellation Mission Packs Discussion Thread!

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

Well, I changed my DTV copernicus from before. I'm sure that and the landers and the SPRs will be different. Rockets largely the same as with the Orions. So there should be some variation among us all.

[DMSP]

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

Thanks!

Yep, I think so.

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.

Thanks again!

I think it might be the structure. I had this one adapter which kept overheating. It blew the whole thing apart. I replaced it, and the problem was solved.

Started work on the Altair, this will take a while...

[LABHOUSE]

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

I was serious, I actually made it.

[Zucal]

Hah! Want to hop on board the pain-train of recreating the whole program?

[DMSP]

Jump on board!

Yes do! Kiss your sanity and free time goodby!

My Altair blew up

*Time to work*

Yeah, I guess our two MTVs will be different at least, although you've seen mine already. How different are your landers and SPRs from before?

The landers are a complete redesign. To look more like the shape of the proposed ones.

My SPR is nearly identical to my last one. Just a little shorter.

I already have made an Ares launcher (with orion).

Are you going to make everything else?

[Yukon0009]

Aaand damn it, Orion corrupted.

Goddamit.

[Zucal]

After this I decided to remove the LES shroud, I don't like the yellow stripes on the fairing and it looks fine/functions better without it.

[Majorjim!]

Aaand damn it, Orion corrupted.

Goddamit.

Damn.. My Ares came so close to doing that. Do you save two copies each time you save? I have saved craft many times doing that.

MRS, might be helpful if you added all the Constellation videos, some reference images, and maybe MJ's thread in a spoiler in the OP. Good for a quick reference check.

[DMSP]

Did any of you guys notice how the habitat is inflatable?

What do we do?

I'm actually planning to make it inflatable...

[Yukon0009]

How? Lots of antennas?

[DMSP]

How? Lots of antennas?

That's a secret. I'll only show it when my pack is released.

Well that sounds, well.. good luck! I have a working method for the hab. Its not ideal, but it works!

Great Idea to add some pics and vids for reference in the first post. Maybe not my pack though.

I will add that! Good idea!

Also, I'm sad to see that your Orion doesn't use fairings.

SEVEN PAGES! INCREDIBLE!

And, where are all of you getting the designs for the DTV, SPR, and other Duna hardware? I can only find info on Ares V, Ares I, Orion, and Altair.

Here's a old PDF of Constellation (A bit out of date, though):

EDIT:

Mistake, I didn't mean that I had some better source of info, just that I couldn't find a lot about those other bits.

Hey man, post the reference pic by all means. But posting someones work will just encourage people to copy it and that's not the idea at all.

Cheers.

Oops, I didn't mean I had a better source for Orion and such, just that there doesn't seem to be much data about the MTV, there are some some pictures of it, but no pages on it. Not even a wikipedia page!

This is very helpful.

This is very helpful.

Indeed! Thank you! This goes on the OP...

I can't link anything right now but there is plenty of info online.
