I did a download on it about a week back and they did not appear to be in at that time. Yes. You need to download the 1.11-developement, not the master. @CobaltWolf The Mutineer lower stage/adapter and the upper stage does not fit.

I will put it on my to-do list for this weekend But when I am done with it, it will be an upgrade selection on the standard J-2T (I think I remember how to do that!) @GoldForest @Zorg I have PR-ed (I think) the request with a fix. The J-2T-400K is now part of the J-2T-200 family (I have tested it on my local build.) I have also deleted my M55 simulator which was based on Algol Given we are almost 100% of the way there to making our Saturn II INT-19 with bespoke parts!

When you consider the somewhat poor reliability record of the Atlas at the time, along with the fact that the Mercury spacecraft flew without a single computer, analog or digital, it makes the accomplishments of the program even more amazing. You also get a true appreciation for the intestinal fortitude of the men who flew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your first embed isnt loading. But the lower image looks mostly correct. But they are not meant to be used together with the rack part. The rack is for the Plutonium Brayton Generator and would be used instead of the solars. Simply clip the solars into the hollow section, one higher than the other.

AFAIK it was all done prelaunch and the system used a sequencer, basically a timer, for all events. Edited April 8, 2023 by tg626 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of surface experiment parts in BDB, and more if you also include the stock ones (most of which are based on Apollo surface experiments anyway), and it's not really possible to fit even one copy of everything into the same lunar module, much less multiple copies. That said, getting all of the surface experiments set up is incentive to run multiple Apollo missions. Each real Apollo mission carried a variety of different experiments, rather than the same selection but repeatedly deployed elsewhere on the lunar surface. Since I haven't had build time for this since I originally posted the question, I have come up with two modes that I can think of sticking to the BDB asthetics- 1. J-Series LEM with 1 LRV and three Inventory modules, 2. Non-J Series with 4 inventory modules. The first makes more sense where you are looking to do a single lander and will need the LVR to get to and from your second site. Let's face it, working on the moon was exhausting and the safety margins required the rover to get anywhere. The second relies more on a second lander such as the SHE-LAB being deposited at the site ahead of time... although I don't recall if the LRT has the cargo slots. But, that doesn't exclude the same sort of earlier automated lander bringing the rover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, if this is what happened in FAMK then we'd get space AUG's...ah well. On that note, I mentioned that the history of Saturn/Shuttle-derived vehicles is a deep rabbit hole. Well I found a rabbit hole within a rabbit hole via Saturn C3 So many different proposals. I might have also done a bunch of them. The 1960 proposal The November 1961 proposal And one where nuclear treaties are an immensely personal problem. I had to shorten the tanks A LOT though. Otherwise many of them didn't have enough TWR to even go, you know, up. Bonus Apollo CASM (Advanced Service Module) using universal storage II. Not sure when these will be in the wild (meaning KerbalX). But I wanted to share my madness with y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for variety in launch platforms. C3 would have been an interesting addition to what was built. But that can be said of so many paper projects.
