Ah, didn't see those. Sorry.

No problem.

I was looking at the "LMSC-D614944-1" document from the 25 kW Power Module Evolution Study dated Jan 27, 1979.

(NASA-CR-161145) -THE 25kW POWER MODULE EVOLUTION STUDY.
PART 3: CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS FOR POWER MODULE EVOLUTION.
VOLUME 1:  POWER MODULE EVOLUTION Final Report
(Lockheed Missiles and Space Co.) 228 p HC G3/15 14335

I don't know it's NTRS number.

Mostly completed docking adapter. This will fit as shown in an S4B fairing.

The PMA esque adapter is separate

with 0.9375m radial nodes. In this configuration it will fit in a shuttle bay with APAS 89 (maybe 75s too).

Image

The fore and aft ends can be switched from 0.625 to 0.9375 as well

People always say to take a well earned break after a release, it's funny because I feel like we get demotivated near the end of every release and finally being able to work on new stuff guilt-free is a huge inspiration boost. :)

Anyways, couldn't let Invader and Zorg have all the fun...

Oof, sorry your LEM has cancer. ;.;

@GoldForestI see people using the standard Saturn tower and swing arms with these 2- and 4-booster variants of the Saturn V, but if those had been a reality, the mobile launcher would have undergone extensive changes. Most likely the liquid boosters would have been fully fueled up from tail service masts, much like how the Shuttle's ET and the SLS core was fueled through the orbiter from two TSMs. Swing arms would only have been used for upper stages.

not sure if these have already been reported but I'm getting several issues with the new Saturn v parts https://imgur.com/a/qLfE4TZ

Make sure:

- b9partswitch is installed and up to date

- you dont have a saturn rescale patch from an old install of BDB Extras in your gamedata

- you're not using old craft files

Are you running a modded tech tree?

Negative. Should I be?

Looks like Bill and Jeb were tossing a football when it hit the LM, now it needs to wear that thing.

It's the LEM Shelter, a LEM modified to support two astronauts for stays of up to two weeks on the surface. So basically no ascent engine and an airlock.

Fascinating. Wonder if its related to the other LM based shelter that took a Command Module and bolted it to a Descent stage.

As far as it is known, no. This does comes from the same study that gave the LM Taxi (a 2 man LM capable of being powered down, but there is also an 3 man LM taxi from a different study), LM Lab (spacelab for Apollo basically) and the LM Truck (unmanned descent stage capable of carrying cargo to the surface).

Guys, can you please point me at manual about building and proper usage of new Apollo Venus Flyby? I do remember there was a post in this thread. Friznit's wiki has a picture and some general building instructions, but not how to configure and use it.

You pretty much just have to select the hydrolox fuel type in the part's right click menu and put the whole thing on top of a Saturn V. There should be the option to change it from a fuel tank to a lab once you're on a flyby trajectory.
