Fun fact mike- each mms satellite was named after each of the Beatles.

never knew I would learn so much as I do on these forums and through related research.

check this:

Both the shape and size of the X-38 were different from that of the Space Shuttle. The Crew Return Vehicle would have fit into the payload bay of the shuttle. This does not, however, mean that it would have been small. The X-38 weighed 10,660 kg and was 9.1 meters long. The battery system, lasting nine hours, was to be used for power and life support. If the Crew Return Vehicle was needed, it would only take two to three hours for it to reach Earth.

For a good example of this, look at the pilot episode of Farscape. The Farscape module (essentially an upgraded X-38) is launched from a shuttle in orbit. Very cool show. If you get the chance, I'd love to see an X-38 Farscape configuration.

We hope to have the shuttle mod up and running once again in time. With a simple layout, controlled mature environment with a basic set of rules for posting.

Any issues arising will mean that person will be contacted via PM to resolve any issues and will not be responded to on the forum.

I have someone specifically to handle this along with myself to keep things smooth.

I am guilty of immaturity myself and caused issues no doubt. But this mod is my passion and only want to see it pregress at its own pace.

Many people enjoy the SSP and with the way things were it was causing confusion and chaos for different reasons.

But for this to continue, moderators are looking into the issues and determining its continuation.

If you have questions I will answer what I can via PM, otherwise I hope to see you all in the new thread to have a good time and enjoy the expansion of the SSP!

due to the space shuttle page being closed for some odd reason, I figured I can ask a question here.

anybody know the proper orbit altitude for the shuttle? settings for mechjeb? I thought 150km was good enough but i ran out of fuel by 100km.

hello.

in real life an orbit would be 400km but for ksp I would run any station you have at maybe 125km for 2 reasons.

one speed faster timewarp than if you were at 100km

and so multiple trips to orbit would work out less distance travelled.

once we have a page up and running we can increase fuel levels for the next version if required.

thanks
