@Zorg or @Invaderchaos any thoughts? I was never happy with the truss interstage, though I might be able to redo it in the style of the one I made for Saturn Centaur.

I guess its gotten a bit long in tooth. Someone should do it :P. It wasnt on the Atlas V sheet so the issue hasnt been forced yet.

Didn't it just start as the Atlas-Centaur Inter-stage, and it was kind of the practice of "we are going to use multiple models/meshes and B9Part Switch on it?"

We need it longer,  We need it without Centaur connections and we need it as a bare truss...    As I recall atleast

Doncha know you are not supposed to post photos directly from ULA?

:P

Looks amazing Zorg!

Ox line Fabric work is :Perfetto:

That letter "E" at the end of "BDB in russkiy" is especially cursed for me.
I don't know which app was used for this, but even 4th grader in Russia would do a better job "translating"
It is pure linguistic abomination.

And what on Earth, Mars and Venus is this "flighp" at the boattail? What have slavic languages done to you?!?!?!

It's beautiful, isn't it?

There is a word for it, "transliteration". Essentially its just English with the letters transposed into Cyrillic.

I know, just my brain did a funny and forgot this word...
I wonder what the next update will be named... atlas shrugged?)

My most reacent launch (pictures up this page,) was an Atlas D with an Agena-C/ShuttleAgena/Agena2000 built from Atlas-Vega parts, a hypergol fuel patch and the Bell LR81 8096 engine. 

Siiiiiiigh...

I remember asking the BDB Crew for this thing. I've even posted its drawings from NASA paper (These were for Shuttle-Agena). Sadly, nothing had materialized.

I know I can make one from existing parts (and I did! and I even tried to fly it on SOCK Shuttle!), but... sigh.

I remember asking the BDB crew for a fish, but then the taught me to fish.  Now I'm in the middle of the Amazon looking for a Monster Arapaima locals believe has been capsizing fishing boats.  I'm Jeremy Wade and you're watching River Monsters.

Since you guys alway have the text on American parts in cyrillic shouldn't the text on here be in english?

It looked very wrong when I did that. Just didn't look nice to me.

Preliminary Waterfall FX for the SERJ engine. Already looking much much better!

A pity, that's actually a good idea

Sadly we have to prioritize and make calls about scope, at least for a given work-cycle.

So cool that we can actually build ETS Freedom now!

Not really... we're missing the Solar truss for ETS Freedom, which is a lot smaller than ISS solar truss.

Benjee says he has no interest in making the truss as well. We'll have to use the oversized ISS truss.... unless some mod that already has ETS stuff makes the truss themselves... *wink wink nudge nudge* I kid, of course. 

But yeah, the 3.75 parts allow to kitbash Challenger and the 3.75m Kibo and 3.75m centerfuge.

I can't seem to figure out which parts do what experiments, like the LM materials panel i thought would do materials study but it does radiation, so i don't know which experiments are redundant on my craft.

I wouldn't expect "Study Material Samples" to be a Geiger counter, sounds much more like the materials bay. Can make trying to figure out science parts confusing.

What I do when building craft with science experiments is use the mod [x] Science!, which has a science overview that has a live updating list of experiments available on your craft, so you can see what's actually getting added when you place a new part, or see if nothing new shows up when you add a new part.

As for that part being a cosmic ray experiment, it may be to do with balance for the mass (in which case it needs a description update), or it could just be an oversight when the part was being made lol

P1 Truss attached to Freedom. Yes. The entire thing is the P1 truss. The ETS Freedom Truss has only 5 parts to it. S0, which is (supposed) to launch with Challenger. P1, S1, P2, S2. 

Also, ignore the solar panel clipping the radiator... I... didn't realize these were non-closing solar panels when I chose them... problem is they are the closest panels I have to the depictions... also, ignore the fact that S0 changed shape and size... (The small one wasn't going to work out...)

Also, for those wondering, yes, the station is oriented correctly. The solar truss is "hung" from the station like this.

Edit: Cheated a new station up with Benjee's Tantares Solar Panel, so no more clipping.

Oh cool thanks, will check that out!

Yeah it's cfg file was based on a different part when made, and missed getting updated. It'll be much more like the LM MESA part next update (or on dev now) with a low transmission material bay and a camera.
