FINALLY!!! It looks AMAZING for your first try @hraban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hraban Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Non Kerbal payload added. It's not all but need more internal stuff that work in Unity 5. So firecans, first aid set, toolbox and other small equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hraban Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Here is the BETA of PINBOL (Kliper) The PINBOL is build to reenter from KSP-Stock low orbits. Do not reenter from orbits higher then 85km! Do not forget to install a parachute. PINBOL is not build to land on gears. Unfortunatly there is no Paraglider in KSP so a standard parachute with more then 25m diameter will help to land safe. - Transparence of windows in IVA will not work - IVA view is very simple and will be better - PINBOL has two airlocks, one at the end and one at the top - Search for PINBOL in VAB so you find also two hollowed decoupler there makes no trouble on decoupling Edited June 7, 2016 by hraban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc-Zer0G Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Great! I've been waiting to try out the PINBOL. Question: I know it's but BETA, but will it fly with FAR/Future FAR support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VenomousRequiem Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Only really managed to get a quick abort test, but it actually flies! Wow! No offence to @Beale but I think you might have actually executed it perfectly. And there's something about the style and colour of the interior... The colour really captures the soviet space program, you know what I mean? LIke it's about the colour seen inside of Mir and such. Very nice work. Edit: Ahhh this thing is so cool! I did a full flight test and everything works fantastic. Parachutes are for wimps. I figured it glides well enough for me to do it without one, and it landed fine.

It flies wonderfully, still didn't tried with landing gear but I think is possible. Anyway, I had to Hyper-edit pinbol in orbit, because at least with Tantares launcher (as you showed in page 20) is impossible to fly: too top-heavy and the craft is uncontrollable. P.S. I would add a little more solid fuel and force to the abort system. It's a little weak (only a few meters from the launcher sitting at the pad) and burns for little time Edited June 6, 2016 by trooperMNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tell mechjeb was struggling, yeah, but it's flew fine! And i agree, the abort rockets need more thrust. It can't really get the spacecraft away too well. Speaking of aborts, one of the tests i did was ejecting off of the rocket and then flying back and landing back on the runway. I don't know why but i felt super cool afterwords.

The Excape-System becomes more power so a zero/zero abort take a safe high of 250m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc-Zer0G Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Abort engines indeed need more thrust. RCS alone is enough to control the craft and preform a safe landing. However, without SAS or RCS the craft is unstable. I'd suggest moving the CoM forward just a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non of the Shuttles or Gliders fly stable without Computer-Control. In the Mod the SAS is the Computer-Stabilizer. I will test with more Center of Mass in front. In my Landing- and Reentry-Cases i dont use the RCS, only the SAS. Update: CoM is set to 0.2m+. ESC makes now 300m on zero/zero. Download BETA is updated.

hraban Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 There is definitely no information about the system which catapulted the DNEPR from the silo. After analysis of the available images and video sequences I start from the following:On bottom of the silo is a propellant charge, expected to be a solid rocket booster. The propellant charge transfers the energy by a sabot on the rocket. This sabot falls back after leaving the silo and is kicked by a dorsal Booster aside.The Barrel body is simply too small as he could be a booster.

CobaltWolf Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 iirc it was something like compressed air. Are you looking at English sources? If not I could take a quick look. I know for sure I've seen descriptions of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
