Well, yeah, but a) Our moon stuff still has 12 days minimum left. b) Pretty sure we win when they're both done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Yammomoto Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) @CobaltWolf those f-1s are really cool looking. you could stop texturing them and I wouldn't care. pls release textures I want.

I hope you know all the in thread complaining about it is more a joke. I'm hopefully going to get the editable files and change the textures to the way I want them (the way they should be).

CobaltWolf Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Can anyone provide reference for the S-1C Retro motors? The ones mounted next to the fins? I have a diagram but looking at reference images of the real thing there doesn't appear to be anything there where they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a diagram but looking at reference images of the real thing there doesn't appear to be anything there where they should be. Found this, showing more detail on the retro motor positions. Saturn V S-IC retrorockets I'm not seeing discrete ports for the retro exhaust, but you can definitely see the exhaust in launch footage. My guess is, given the expendable nature of the stage and relative thinness of the metal that comprised the skirts, the exhaust simply punched its own holes. It would also solve the inherent aerodynamic and weight problems introduced by cutting holes in the skirts then needing to reinforce them.

Also I didn't know the fins blew off and then fired the retros which is cool. That's how I read it atleast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take a close look at still photos of the S-IC falling away, the fins are still visible in place. That NASA doc can give the impression that the skirts were blown, but it wasn't the case.

CobaltWolf Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well I don't like that... Quick mockup for a possible solution. Thots? (Also, yes, the shrouds aren't finished yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think you've hit on a good solution that answers both the engineering and aesthetic sides of the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also, yes, the shrouds aren't finished yet) I like it. I think it's simple, aesthetically pleasing, and extremely functional. However what about making them smaller, using one, and putting it on top where the fin starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phineas Freak Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 The "problem" with the S-IC retros is that they had blow covers that protected them during the ascent (and were ejected at retro activation). You could just make the texture look like there is an actual cover but no actual port hole. Source: Saturn V Flight Manual (page 82) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Lots of Saturn hype here, but let me take a moment to share my Pioneer 4 Moon flyby in SSRSS. Spoiler I hate night screenshots as much as the next person, but because the Moon's orbit is inclined relative to Earth when its axial tilt is factored, I had a specific window in which to launch, which just so happened to be at night. If all goes well this will be the first time I've seen the Moon close up in SSRSS or RSS. TLI with the second stage of the SRB cluster. Unfortunately the rocket briefly flew out of control during launch and my efforts to re-correct it resulted in both an alteration of the craft's orbital inclination and the remaining fuel in the first stage to be expended, making it near impossible to adjust the orbit. Because of this I was forced to settle for a somewhat distant flyby of about 1,000,000 km. Next time I think I'll go with a liquid fuel upper stage...
