Space Shuttle [SSP] for KSP

[rougeaux]

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.

I think those figures are pretty much in line with real-world performance. Standard OMS burns could last several minutes, which makes sense considering that the combined thrust of both OMS engines was only 53kN, with a maximum acceleration of less than 1m/s².

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.

the working telescope update here

I prefer cacteye but it's still good :-)

Does that one still work in 1.0? I forgot

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.

Excellent. I can work from this tonight

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!!

Will update as soon ad I can

[Tristonwilson12]

I use the telescope from Hullcam

[Bev7787]

Angel-125 updated it to 1.0.4. But it's not on the OP, it's somewhere near the last page of the thread.

[Irenicus]

Okey, thank you. I will wait:))

PS. Mod Hullcam have telescope Hublle? I was think this mod it is only camera...

And also, if using mod Canadaarm, you can't attach the arm on lateral wall of cargo bay:((( only in center cargobay:(

mike pkease dont forget the Tail and Candarm .. it need adjusting with the RSS.

I'll test it more but then the orbit might get messed up ( one side enters kerning atmosphere) and not enough rcs fuel.

[Sampa]

people, when reporting bug, please use the format that was provided?

[Mike-NZ]

mike pkease dont forget the Tail and Candarm .. it need adjusting with the RSS.

did those already and some other things for RSS

also I put all the WIKI real stats in for everything. ISP, fuel ammounts, thrust, weight etc.

its back to being heavy.

my issue now is with the huge weight the launch clamps stick to it when you launch (the ones taking more weight)

so it leans over and blows up on launch.

it works ok with the crawler pads new decoupler node. directly under COM, no launch clamps.

problem is not everyone would want the crawler.

maybe I can research this issue

did u release it??

[Mike-NZ]

not yet. continuing on it now

[ramazoti]

keep up Mike, i'm still playin this game because of you.

I do not know how to get back to orbit to the ground . Fuel was over, main engines connot be run againe. Do, I have only the engines OSM. But, Shuttle just does not fly in the atmosphere. He can not be controlled .

(Rotation, turn, e.t.c)

And most importantly : RCS engines are not running . The space shuttle have only control SAS and OSM engines. RCS is not working.

I use RSS and Reaolism Overhaul. Are the problem in this?

Okay, but why do not work RCS engines????????

PS. And I dont see a chute for Atlantis... How I must will brake? )

The shuttle,is only partially ready for,rss action. More fixes are on the way to make it fully compatible.

oms power now more than double thrust.

about twice as much OMS fuel on board

RCS now runs from same fuel as OMS engines. (monopropellant was not showing in game)

rcs power increased

- - - Updated - - -

canadarm now part of RSS config

- - - Updated - - -

fixed typo which blanked off some of the RSS config for shuttle

- - - Updated - - -

if you use an old craft file, new changes will not show

electricity generator working.

power drain/s working

should I have a minimum crew requirement?

minimum crew now 3.

fixed reaction torque setting in RO config

also added tail chute to RO patch

Mike, irl, the minimum crew shuttle flew with was 2, the four columbia test flights. Maybe use that for guidance?

[Mike-NZ]

ok will change from 3 to 2. many thanks.

do you trust only 2 kerbals though? lol

[Sampa]

Not sure, but better to have more than one, especially with jebediah flying...

[davidy12]

Does this include a cockpit for RO? There're two cockpits in one in RO!

[Mike-NZ]

yes this has been stated and is about to be worked on. thanks

[Irenicus]

Mike-NZ

O!!! Thank you so much for the path.. I will try now and report you

Later...

RCS is working... Thank you.

BUT... The shuttle can not get off the ground. No takeoff. not enough power for engines... ((( Max alt it is 12 km (( After hi is going down...

Here is my video.

I did not touch the keyboard

<strong>

and list of installing mods

Delta-V and mass befor patch

AND AFTER PATH

So... The ship is too heavy for takeoff...

[Mike-NZ]

hmmmmmm

ok I will change what I can but make keep it realistic

[Mike-NZ]

ok fixed the problem. I had the wrong fuel amount. now its more realistic. even the empty tank and SRB weights are correct also

[Sampa]

Ok, temporarily purging the shuttle from my KSP for during my space race
