Well Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) @hraban Beautiful. OK, he is not too much has the narrow in the cockpit finally. " Bill confirms that solar panel works, fortunately because it's the hour of its TV program preferred " ------------------------------- I like the hold, and the part defers tilted for reservoir and driving compartment. As the hold closes entirely by top it is unusual, but that brings exactly a little of variety, especially with the touch of yellow color. I like very much this concept.

As the hold closes entirely by top it is unusual, but that brings exactly a little of variety, especially with the touch of yellow color. I like very much this concept. Before there is a beta release, I would like to create a docking and storage module. It should look the part shown similarly in the cargo bay. CD-Hermes (Karuda) received a few TACLS internals. So a water purifier and a carbon extractor system is now integrated. The hatch at the highest point of the hull has significant advantages, particularly when landing in the water! The yellow area, and part of the wings accommodate the necessary Monoproppelant fuel. As main Engine use 2 'REX large Orbital Maneuvering Engines'. For orbital maneuver so are 1469 m/s deltaV at 0.22 TWR with full load available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) @ Hraban I find this shuttle perfect for kerbals But, EVA will not be risk so close to the dock? (Collision) You already have certainly to configure everything, but the airlock would not be better a little more forwards Becquet You have him maybe configured in this place to be able to reach it by the wing?

CobaltWolf Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 very nice Hraban! I think its my favorite of your little shuttles. How many have you made so far? I lost count at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hraban Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Here the BETA of CD-Hermes. Search by tag 'cd' you find 3 parts. - Hermes space plane - Hermes storage and docking module payload - Hermes decoupler attach to 2.5m launcher Hermes Beta 0.1 For reentry they reduce the orbit to less than 90 km. Up to an altitude of 25km is a setting angle of 15° - 20° to keep. Thereafter, the angle of attack can be lowered slowly. Use it the RCS thrusters for attitude control. Do not expect great maneuverability. Who KSP Typical flight behavior expected (ie totally unrealistic) must attach control surfaces. It is envisaged adaquately space.FAQ:Is Contares FAR Compatible? No!Why is the spaceplane of one part? Because I want that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 @hraban It is little late for me, I was going to switch off the computer. But I test it!! Thank you for your work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 @hraban She is very difficult has to control, she is going to ask for a little of training! But she is very beautiful during flight. On the other hand the ignition of the cockpit (light on), lower the general luminosity of KSP, strange bug (test on clean install without mod) (my ksp for dev) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there is a problem with the cockpit interior lighting. I'll check and fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 @hraban During an waterlanding with the reservoirs of mono propellant empty, the buoyancy is correct and stable. During the final approach , the overdue often passes in front of and I totally loses control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have time, please test it with small rudder at the fins and two small airbrakes (as flaps) on the upper rear of the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) @hraban I have already tried, it is almost compulsory to make her controllable. Stock elevons are not too much adapted in size, but she become very pleasant has to pilot.

For stability and manouverability i have a idea and test it next days. The spaceplane is always to light on weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I think that would be needed a center of mass more forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeter45 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 one small request with the hermes would it be possible to move the center of mass or position of the docking port so they line up? would enable boosting the shuttle to higher orbits via external means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for nothing the fragile and extremely light-built module is transported in the cargo bay. Let your imagination run wild and find a more elegant solution.

hraban Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Revised Beta for spaceplane Hermes: Hermes BETA 0.2Notes on reentry and target approach:Initial orbital altitude 80 km.With a planned landing on the VAB with Mechjeb support is recommended that potential landing position to be set to 95° W 37' 1". Has Mechjeb the braking phase achieved with a target position under 2km then disable Mechjeb. From that moment the landing must be done manually. Hold an AoA of 15° until the space shuttle begins to rise. Reduce AoA to 0 ° and wait until the spaceplane go under 900m/s. Now go into the target approach with an AoA from -10° to -20°.

Well Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I wanted to test without any addition except train landing. Even without any elevon the control is really better! Beautiful Light on always "buggy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 @hraban A lot of scientific experiments do not survive at the reentry (explode) in the CargoBay Conductivity? The speed in final approach is crucial, too slow we lose control, too fast it is the crash. The DrogChute help really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any information about the use of this parameter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) @hraban It allows to manage the heat dissipation, parameter seemed since 1.0 I believe with radiators. For a shuttle I do not think that it is of a big importance can be to verify cargo boat bay of stock game? To compare? The problem here is that Hermes is a single parts, thus the parts most exposed transmits all the heat in parts the most fragile.
