We have a fairly complex catch all patch that creates a PF version of each base and we havent managed to update it yet to work with the new PF. This is being worked on in a special feature branch on github but I havent managed to figure it out yet. Hopefully we can get it working by the next BDB update. Thanks! Which version of PF do you recommend istead, for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmateurAstronaut1969 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 From my recreation of Space Station Freedom from Eyes turned Skywards - I present... Freedom Expedition 1. Launch Docking with Challenger I thought I’d just post this here because I thought it was cool, but also, I was thinking of Starting a Thread to Recreate Freedom. There used to be one, but after like 2 missions, it kinda stopped. Would you all like to see a thread for it? If not, I’m going to recreate the whole of ETS (Hopefully) once the Full Saturn Update comes out with all the ETS parts Etc. P.S. - Sorry for the bad image Quality - I had to upload these from my phone instead of straight from my PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heliotrope Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) One thing I love about this mod is the new alternative history upper stages like the Shuttle/Centaur and Agena-SOT. If you were in charge of NASA, would you have chosen a reusable Agena-SOT as a interim Space Tug or an expendable Centaur as a high energy upper stage for the Space Shuttle? (If there were plans for a reusable Centaur, let me know!) Info for Agena: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19740024172/downloads/19740024172.pdf Info for Centaur, or atleast the RL-10: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20150008246/downloads/20150008246.pdf?attachment=true Edited July 23, 2021 by Heliotrope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have much if any documentation but it would have been based on the Centaur then standard D.1x tankage but slightly shortened. Insulation was no discussed in what I have read but I am going to assume SOFI like the only slightly latter D.2. the Avionics section would be all new and there would be manipulator arm attachments so the stage could be grabbed and brought back into the cargo bay. I believe lockdown was by two clevis type "hitches" for and aft. Incidentally, IIRC this was the Centaur R.1S proposal. That is Recoverable, version 1, by Space Shuttle (R.1S) But I could be wrong. I keep having AR.1 pop in my head as I type this (don't have my docs handy to look this up ATM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroMatthew Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Wow amazing LEM. I have a quick question about the future of BDB. Will we ever see more rocket come in to BDB some rocket I would like to see are Pegasus, Sea Dragon, Antares, and others? I am just wondering if we will ever see these and more rockets to be added in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs haven't said anything about Pegasus, think @DylanSemrau has plans for it as a part of one his mods; Cobalt has already said Sea Dragon is not on the cards and will not be considered; and Antares is unlikely, although no-one has said anything definite on the subject.

pTrevTrevs Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Why does everyone and their mother go so crazy over Sea Dragon these days? Is it just because it was in a mediocre TV show? That abomination is nothing more than a napkin drawing, probably done after midnight in some musty break room in Huntsville, by engineers whose lucidity and sobriety were questionable at best. oh yeah, nice LEM, by the way.

Also Secondly, a major reason people want it is because the only other Sea Dragon mod is some old RSS thing with mediocre textures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen that TV show but Sea Dragon made it much further than a napkin drawing. One corporation (Aerojet) submitted several hundred pages of design to NASA, and a 2nd corporation (a division of TRW) vetted the design. Sea Dragon died off because no one needed to launch that large, that frequently. The economics of Sea Dragon needed at least 120 launches over a 10 year period.

I think it was the other way around. I think DS plans to add Antares to his Photon Corp mod, and there hasn’t really been anyone who is doing Pegasus.

thunder175 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) @CobaltWolf Have a weird request. I can't get the Blender .mu import tool to work. I was trying to import the antenna models in order to measure the dishes to get an exact, or at least an approximation of their size in order to build RealAntennas configs. RA just needs to know the dish size in meters and does all the math itself. Do you know or have a listing of how big the dishes are in BDB? I'm updating them as they come up in my current career and right now up to Gemini. I'm trying to find the real world specs but am having no luck for many, especially some of the probe antennas. For example I was looking at all sorts of JPL documentation from the 60's the other day trying to get the exact size of the Ranger antenna and couldn't find it anywhere. I can't do anything but guess on balance for the omni's, but dishes might be able to be added pretty quickly given that we know the size to the parabolic dish on each model.
