Always a good place to start Direct link to the Skylab infoz is: https://github.com/friznit/Unofficial-BDB-Wiki/wiki/Skylab BTW welcome to the Forums. And ignore my snark above. Ask any questions you want. But it is always a good Idea to start with the first post as they often have that kind of info. ah thanks! i finally have skylab in orbit and can start practicing rendezvous, not only that but thank you for adding a link to other rockets i can build! ive been struggling to build Titan II but i now know how thanks to your link that ive never knew existed, helped me twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there was a concept to use an S IVB as a lander and the rl 10s would do the landing burn instead of the j 2 because they have fiber throttling and more restarts.

Having just updated the mod a bit ago, I was very pleasantly surprised to see SNAP RTG's and nuclear engines, I don't keep up with updates or anything (is there a discord or something to join for this mod?) so it was quite the suprise. Not really, pretty much just the thread here. I share things as I make them usually. There should be another update sooner than later, with all the stuff people have been working on while work starts on Saturn. 11 hours ago, derega16 said: Will new S-IVB have some sort of anti-boil off option?

I should maybe start by saying I didn't care for it? Ah well... So, I've seen that, and I've seen the Jamestown base. They're also on the more realistic end, as far as the show goes. But I don't know how plausible they actually are. I'd need someone to look into them for me and figure out if Jamestown can actually land the way they say it does, for example. And just to loop back for a second here, I'd also add that anything from FAM is definitely a long ways out. The priority for me right now is getting parity with what's currently in the mod. So stuff like the Eyes Turned Skywards parts take precedence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golkaidakhaana Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Is there any possibility of adding interstage nodes for the crewed Gemini SMs , and / or a 0.9375m version of the Gemini docking adapter ? I ve been trying to make a Gemini rescue vehicle with a Habtech APAS port and I ve noticed it is very annoying and somewhat difficult trying to align the interstage / decoupler with the SM , as the interstage can only attach to the docking port , leaving a gap between the interstage and the SM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APAS and now IDSS is great (international, big enough for people and small cargo, can fit on anything from Apollo to Soyuz to Buran without major modification (Gemini will need a structural hull resize), and so was Gemini (Modular, adaptable to different mission types from orbital rendezvous to spying to Moon landing, potentially reusable (if the Rogallo wing went through). Shame it was only ever used for docking practice). Why not put two together? Edited March 21, 2021 by OrdinaryKerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, both the LSAM and Jamestown are actually overpowered. Both use 4x LMDEs. I don’t know about the fuel/delta-v situation on the LSAM (those must be fuel tanks that make the upper module bulkier, right?), but I believe it was mentioned Jamestown was a shortened Skylab-based wetlab, so it should have had plenty of DV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorg Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 3 hours ago, awills714 said: Hello! Just wondering, will we get RO configs for the revamped Saturn? In nearly all cases RO configs for stockalike mods are written by contributors to RO rather than the authors of the mod (and the configs are usually distributed with the RO install). I do expect someone will write configs but its not going to be us though since none of us use RO and it would require someone who uses both to do so.
