So I let go of the ladder and fell until Jeb hit the bottom ladder. When I grabbed the ladder again, the Kraken struck. Poor Jeb was accelerated extremely quickly to 32 m/s before he let go of the ladder and died from lithobraking. Luckily, I had a quicksave so my multi-launch Titan JNSQ Mun mission can go on. Expand Can confirm the presence of the phantom forces on the lander pod. Heck, most of the BDB ladders seem to have this issue. Not sure what causes it.

Expand That's why the fix would be to put: MODEL{ model = Bluedog_DB/Spaces/BDB_Gemini_LanderCan_Int/BDB_Gemini_LanderCan_Int rotation = 0, 180, 0} In the IVA config (you'd need to move the config out of the model folder, as well, or you'd get duplicated model). Of course, that wouldn't reverse the props. When I get back to playing KSP, I might upload a fixed IVA config, but this won't be for some time.

CDSlice Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Who needs the Saturn V when you can have a Big Gemini? In JNSQ, Minmus is perfectly reachable by a large Titan with some minor tweaks as Jeb, Val, Bill, and Bob are about to prove. These are some large screenshots so the rest will be in the spoiler. Reveal hidden contents We have liftoff! Two 8 segment SRBs provide plenty of thrust for takeoff. Sunset launches sure are pretty. Booster separation was nominal, it is up to the imported Czar engine to provide the rest of the thrust to get into a nearly orbital trajectory. Final boost to orbit was achieved with just enough dV for the rest of the mission. A better view of the transfer vehicle. The cargo bays are from Universal Storage and hold the lander and other science equipment. This is going to be a one launch mission. Almost at our minty destination After a retro burn to stable Minmus orbit, Val goes on a quick EVA to inspect her lander. Satisfied with the inspection results Val begins her descent burn. JNSQ Minmus required much less dV to land than was expected. Val never had to detach the bottom tank. The lander is basically the Donna except with stock landing legs so that it will fit in a Universal Storage cargo bay. Plenty of science was able to be gathered, including sand stone rock samples. After an uneventful take off from the minty surface Val docked the lander to the Big Leo mother ship to transfer the science over. Time for the trip home Landed safe and sound with the help of some retro rockets. In your face Saturn V! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started drafting the models for Vega revamp. I'd like to get it done in this update due to the relationship with Juno IV and Ranger. We've been doing work on what a... "X-405H 1970" would look like. Think, if Vega had been refined to the level that Agena had. Maybe we'll see an alternate tankage (or rather, tank extension) as well. Been getting work done on Nimbus. I think the end goal isn't to recreate any one Nimbus (there were 7, or 8 depending on how you count) in particular, but rather a collection of parts to approximate the range of them. So here you have what I'll call an "early" Nimbus, followed by a "late" Nimbus. The late Nimbus is missing some experiments from the bottom. I'm seeing what instruments fit our existing experiments, and then some of the bulkier ones are going to be compound experiments using DMSA. So you'll need all three (or so) on a satellite to run the experiment off the "main" one (usually whatever one needs to animate, if possible)... maybe also be able to have several tiers by chaining them off of each other (Experiment A runs solo, B needs A, C needs B and A, with progressive levels of science return approaching the full value of the experiment) so that you can build multiple "blocks" of satellites. The cool part is that by making these compound parts, I can force y'all to greeble more for the same science return, and make things much more legoable! Also, shoutouts to @MaverickSawyer for writing a new bd_weather experiment! It has a ton of great flavortext blurbs for all the stock planets with atmos! You maybe have noticed the peculiar RTG on the "early" Nimbus there. It's a SNAP-19, same as the ones on Pioneer, just mounted differently. I think I'm going to try and do a small lineup of the early SNAP RTGs. Here's a basic one (probably needs more mounting hardware) and the Nimbus one. If anyone has ideas for more of them (extending out on arms for example, different bundle configurations) let me know Also, OGO has been sitting on the backburner for a while but I'd like to get it done sooner than later.

biohazard15 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Here's a MM patch that adds support for Near Future Exploration feeder\reflector mechanic to some BDB antennas. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sVZkk1cDl0d3okMhuxQ47oWe1xOS3X21/view?usp=sharing Supported antennas: A27-C antenna Belle B81 antenna F21 helical antenna HLR-PIO6 (Pioneer 6) mast antenna J15-D dish antenna KD2 antenna M17 solar antenna MSC dome antenna Transtage antenna Apollo whip antenna Apollo VHF antenna Note: NFEx plugin currently does not support antenna animations via MM patches. You can place feeder beam source to where it should be in extended position, but this would look somewhat silly in editor. Note 2: N100 omni antenna and Helios antenna array are not supported - the first is omnidirectional, and frankly I don't know what is the second one and where the feeder beam is supposed to be.

Guest Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Does anyone have an idea how the motors Juno III was supposed to use looked? All I can find is a "more powerful motor from Grand Central". I'm pretty sure the rocket would change very little externally, but since those added about 10kg to the LEO payload, I'd figure the motors would have to be longer or thicker than original ones.

And it wasn't really tri-fuel it's that the turbopump needed the HTP to run. The problem with keroxide is the performance tops out below what you can get from kerolox let alone cryogenics. Still... maybe an alternate engine config/plume using B9 would be appropriate? I won't make that alternate tank... well, actually, maybe I'll have to... I have this image which I'm 99% sure represents "Gamma Centaur". It's what is very distinctly an RL-10 mounted to what is very distinctly a Vega structural mockup. You can see that they removed/modified the spherical tanks to match the configuration in the diagram below. I'm still figuring out things for the 6K stage, I'll have to get back to you on that. Not sure having separate avionics is worth it, I think it's going to be a bit funky regarding the sizes.
