rextable Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I installed this mod for the first time this weekend. Wow!!!! I can't believe I've never used this mod before - It's amazing! I have a quick question though. Can someone post a picture or explanation of how the GS series parts go together? Is the RV1 return capsule supposed to go into the recess hole in the ASD truss segment. Its seems like it should. Speaking of the RV1, is the parts order like so: heat shield; capsule; parachute; retro pack? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM_AM_SVEN Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hey everyone. I am having a problem with a science return mission and maybe someone can help. I built the Mariner 2 probe for a science transmit mission in JNSQ. All of the other science experiments will transmit back to Kerbal except for the Microwave Spectrum data from the Mariner 2 Radiometer. I can transfer the data to a science storage container without any problems, but trying to transmit the data results in it never reaching Kerbal. I am going to just cheat the contract to completion but has anyone else run into this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It is failing to transmit. Electrical power never drops below 190/200 on the craft. The status text in the upper left displays that the science has 100% transmitted with no success. I have three different antennas on the craft and have attempted transmission from all three with zero success. I cheated a new copy of the craft into orbit to try. thinking it may have been something with that particular part when it was created with no luck. Tried moving the science to a science container first and then transmit it with no luck. Each time I get a message saying it was 100% transmitted however running the experiment again shows it is still available. With my current mod loadout all of the other science (magnetometer, ion trap, dust collector, and ir radiation) has transmitted successfully.

AmateurAstronaut1969 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I was looking back at some of the Saturn/Apollo update pics and remembered reading something about different types of LM’s. I saw a habitat version, but I was wondering if you are planning on making an LSAM lander, as in the new season of for all Mankind, we have very good pictures of the LSAM.

Yeah, as I said a couple pages back, I don't watch FAM and I don't know how plausible the designs of the LSAM and Jamestown are from a performance perspective. I'd like to do some LM variants, but won't promise any for the first release here. The old LM parts had a lot of issues, and couldn't really be used as a basis for variants.

Expand I mean, when the main characters land on the Moon, they use a J-Class LEM to land in Shackleton via going from Equatorial to Polar Orbit. Plus there's one scene at the end of the series that kind of ticked me off knowing how orbital mechanics work. Plus, the LSAM, not as many good shots as I was hoping for. The show does have some decent to cool moments, but it's just (IMHO) avg. PS: @CobaltWolf out of curiosity, in the next version will you guys have @Beale's new IVAs?

biohazard15 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Gemini Lunar Flyby (Titan LDC) Reveal hidden contents Today, we have a "possible" Gemini Lunar Flyby variant, on a "possible" Titan LDC. While this particular thing is my invention, I can't rule out the possibility of it being buried in some USAF\NASA\whatever paper. Since there were so many Gemini Lunar Flyby and LDC variants, anything is possible! This one makes use of MOL parts, including Gemini B. Note that only two core engines are running. According to Ed Kyle, only two LR-87s were ignited at liftoff. The other pair ignited at about T+90sec, and the first pair shut down at around T+180s. This is what I'm trying to replicate (kind of). Gemini B is upgraded with LES. Starting the 2nd pair of LR-87s at T+60s - this is done for the sake of good TWR. Jettisoning spent UA-1207s. Jettisoning LES. Switching off the first pair of LR-87s, at about T+210s. Again, this is done for the sake of TWR - to keep it above 1. The rocket is modeled after LDC-2 proposal from 1966, with one major difference: 2nd stage engine is LR-87 instead of LR-91. This is done for the sake of, you've already guessed, TWR - with LR-91, 2nd stage TWR is abysmal. Jettisoning LDC's 2nd stage. TLI stage is modified Titan II's 2nd stage. Quite plausible, I think. TLI stage performs, well, TLI. Jettisoning the TLI stage. Gemini deploys various Gemini stuff. There is a tunnel to the ship's butt (you can see the window). Making use of that Gemini B's crew tunnel. (Not functional) Couple of days later - approaching the Moon. Making course correction burn, in order not to become a Moon crater. The Moon flung the ship pretty far. So we're making some correction burns. Looks like we're about to land in Indian Ocean. Jettisoning the MOL-derived service module... ...and the descent module. Reentry! Deploying the drogue chute... ...followed by the main chute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
