Invaderchaos Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Couple new things! Apollo-Soyuz Test Project Docking Module, Apollo-Soyuz Test Project SM Paint Switch, and Toasted Skylab SM Paint Switch are now up on github! (Tantares is needed for the APAS 75 port and Soyuz) Spoiler Edited January 31, 2022 by Invaderchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to make a Skylab cinematic video, and so I was trying to get the solar panel to break at the right moment. It would’ve broken off when in space, so I couldn’t open it in atmosphere to break it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaintedLion Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 If we're going to have an ASTP DM can we have a B9 switch for the SLA so it can attach? I assume it's a 0.9375m part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still figuring that out, but yea its pretty likely. And yes, it has endcap switches for 0.9375m and 0.625m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaintedLion Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Are we also going to get more colour options for the Saturn 1B first stage fins? They're partially black irl. EDIT: Also, were the ScanSat modules removed from the Apollo SIM instruments? I swear they used to have them.

Invaderchaos Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Ok to be proactive before anyone says anything about Saturn IB massively struggling to carry the Apollo CSM and the ASTP docking module to orbit, I just found out the ASTP CSM’s total weight is 5,000 kg less than Skylab 3’s CSM. There will likely be another variant for SM propellant amount to reflect this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pTrevTrevs Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 So, is there a particular reason why ASTP and Skylab had slightly different service modules than lunar spacecraft? I know Skylab’s CMs had the white paint to protect them during long-duration spaceflight, but ASTP didn’t last any longer than a flight to the Moon and spent a lot less time in direct sunlight.

Skylab CSMs were also required to enter a semidormant state and act as backup attitude control for Skylab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadermonkey Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Something that could be interesting is the large asymmetric payload fairing, which was a concept for the atlas v heavy concept (concept-ception) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will likely be another variant for SM propellant amount to reflect this. There were also some dry weight reductions as well. Removal of unused tankage and plumbing, along with a reduction in consumables for the shorter missions being the main factors. Is there any way to reflect this? It may avoid reducing fuel amounts to unrealistic levels. Edited February 1, 2022 by DaveyJ576 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt spot any module manager errors (I might just be missing it) or do you mean in the SCANsat module? If there are any issues would appreciate the specifics (or a pull request ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper2 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 First, awesome mod, the saturn revamp is really great i think i found a bug on the SLA, it seems that the one with the jettisonable panels have to much drag, i'm playing on KSRSS x2.5 and a saturn 1b struggle to get into LEO and the rocket tend to flip, when using the SLA with the swing panels all is fine. anyone can confirm this, or is it only on my side ? btw i'm not using FAR, so stock aero model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one I’m not sure about is ASTP, because it actually involved extracting something from the SLA like on the lunar missions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn IB with Skylab configuration CSM will make it to a 100x99km orbit with swing panel SLA with ~140m/s to spare, but when using jettison-able panels the vehicle will end suborbital and almost stop accelerating at about the 200-300m/s point on S-IB and end up somewhere around 30 seconds closer to apogee, 500 m/s slower and have an apogee about 25 km lower at stage separation.
