Space Shuttle [SSP] for KSP

[Jeast]

If I get this arm to work, building the ISS will be a whole lot easier. Will try to use it tomorrow.

It works perfectly on stock, no FAR/RSS config yet.

It is the Canadarm 1 though, so not the ISS one.

Ill be able to, for example, move the top section of the JEM over the docking port and dock it like that as opposed to some other complicated method. Speaking of the ISS arm, I still need to find out how to get that up there...

Are you able to look at my ISS model arm to see why the magnet doesnt work? Im sure its similar settings to your model...

Must of been something I missed

Sure thing, send it to me and I will take a look.

Version 1.5 of the Canadarm 1 is comming in the next couple of days, HR textures.

Hurray Looking forward to it.

Will the shuttle be its real size if I have RSS&RO installed？If it is，will it as same as the real shuttle？Cause the previous RO patch is making me cry（SRB impulse：468.5）

[Mike-NZ]

if you have the RSS patch installed it is real sized.

what ISP is recommended?

[mark7]

well, according to wiki，“This mixture develops a specific impulse of 242 seconds (2.37 km/s) at sea level or 268 seconds (2.63 km/s) in a vacuum."

Also，it should have a max thrust of 13800 kN……

I thought that only the engines burn LH&LO will have a ISP of 400+（except for the Ion engines and NTRs）

I can definately set it to these figures. Depending on how it works out in game I may need to change a lot of other factors like weight and fuel etc.

Let me see what I can do.

Fantasticï¼ÂLooking forward to the update

Oh，theres another question，can the canadarm working solo if I dont have the Infernal Robotics installed？

[TronX33]

The SSME thrust is.... weird

[davidy12]

What happened to the Dreamchaser?

[Mike-NZ]

Artwhaley has the dreamchaser again. I have another body almost ready tho

wow what happened.

oh I think the co-ordinates are wrong.

let me fix that

no, unfortunately not.

but if you want less ram use and don't want to use infernal robotics, remove the 'parts' folder from the infernal robotics directory. backup first

[jims]

I'm using the Realism overhaul and the space_shuttle.craft file is the wrong scale, the model is a messed up. How do I fix this?

[Nansuchao]

Rebuild the shuttle from 0. The craft is for the stock model. It's not so difficult, every part has his place in the name.

[Mike-NZ]

if someone would like to send one through I can post it otherwise I will try to have one in the next update

[crash087]

for some reason it wont let me attach a robotic arm, or load anything into the bay, even getting the wings to attach to the body was a pain. Anyone have any ideas or am I alone with this issue?

[Sampa]

First of all, regarding the wings, are your bay doors open? Second of all wings attach easiest from a front looking point of view

Regarding the arm, it attaches to the back of the cabin

After using the mod for a while，I have to admit that u guys did a GREAT job，this is a fantastic modï¼Â

And to help make it better，I have a few suggestions：

1.The plume of the SSMEs in the real life is a little bit close to purple or blue，not the current yellow.

2.The plume of the SRBs is not very realistic，it‘s smaller and not as bright as the real SRBs（Maybe its because realistic plume will burn the CPU and GPU？haha）

3.Would it better to have several packs ？Cause for a user like me，I dont want the Canadarm or the Saturn Shuttle Booster （Blame the RAM limit），and to find the file then delete it is a little bit exhaustingâ€â€Ã¢â‚¬â€especially when update I have to do that again.

4.The spelling of canadarm is wrong on the first pageâ€â€Ã¢â‚¬â€>"For a well made Caanadarm, Check out Jeast's Page" I dont know if it's a typo or u did that on purpose?(Maybe Kanadarm is better?)

And above all, thank u SO MUCH for making such a marvelous mod~

(Gosh, hope my English will not trouble u guys

Thanks for the appreciation!

we will have a patch to make the flame and smoke effects realistic soon.

I will make separate downloads for things when I get time.

and I will fix canadarm spelling soon.

many thanks

Hello!! Where I can get Hubble Space Telescope (mod or something else) for my shuttle as on your screenshots??

Edited September 28, 2015 by Irenicus

[Mike-NZ]

Lionhead Aerospace mod - zeus telescope. I did a update of it

its not my mod and was for ksp 0.25. credit to original developers.

original link here:

the working telescope update here

[Chittychad23]

I finally had time to test out the OMS engines(no payload). With mechjeb; just to change the inclination 10 degrees, It would of taken 1m38s and the burn started about 1 minute before the node. The max thrust of 50 isn't enough.

[Irenicus]

Thank you so much!! At last I have this famous telescope:)))

Another question.. I am using RSS and realism overhaul. After start, on altitude 3-4 km the shuttle nose begin moving left and right, up and down. Not stable trajectory- and I will receive bad orbit. Also fuel ends early:((( I install path for RO, as you said. But it is not help.

And, I don't understand, why not working RCS thursters:(( I am using button R on keyboard, but it is not helping:((

Thank you for answers!!

[TheRag]

New test results from the RO/RSS department: Launch is great, though SAS likes to make the Shuttle wobble so I won't call that a bug. On orbit operation are good, though I suspect that fuel cell isn't working. Reentry however is impossible, the shuttle's heat tolerance is far to low to even get below 100000m, this could be due the fact that it has a heat tolerance of 1073 degrees and the shuttle has no ablator. Either the heat tolerance of the shuttle must go up or an ablating system need to be implemented.
