(starship resupply) In Pathfinder, you can convert the Chuckwagon into a greenhouse, and the Hacienda has a greenhouse template as well. Same as above for the resource consumption.

Be sure to transfer them into a short logistics module configured for science, then return the experiments to Kerbin @Angel-125 I tryed to follow your advice but I'm still unable to finish the experiments. I have docked a second vessel with the short logistics module but when I click to transfer the experiments the module is not selectable. see image And in VAB, I didn't see any option to configure the module for "science". It shows only KIS inventory and research kits. Maybe a problem with other mods like IFS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure your short logistic module is configured for science: From the lab, open the Experiment lab tab and press one of the Transfer buttons: Available destinations will be outlined in blue.

Angelo Kerman Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) More progress on the EDL Frame: The Frame has a built-in decoupler that is automatically set up to share fuel. What you do is attach the engine to the EDL Tank, then attach the frame to the tank as well (there are two nodes to do that). Once you decouple the Frame, it serves as a launch pad for the rest of the vehicle. All that is optional of course, you could SSTO the Estonian into Low Duna Orbit with enough fuel. I've got the EDL Tank configs set up properly too. With Pathfinder installed, you get a Bootstrap configuration that has enough storage space and resources for a small Pathfinder base.

So instead of having a laboratory/hab, you send along a small Pathfinder base instead. Or, you land a base separately, and just fly the lander to it. Or, you just use the capsule as an orbital crew transport. Or... Anyway, I'm starting to create the cutouts for the integrated landing gear. Once I get that and the gear themselves done, then all the exteriors for the Estonian are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MEM is one of my favourite spacecraft concepts ever, along with NAUTILUS-X and the Orion Nuclear Pulse Battleship. I really like the influences not only of the MEM but also the Mk 1-2. It is a perfect stockalike version of a classic spacecraft (what I love about your mods) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Configured with nothing but propellant, about 3k. If configured to hold a Pathfinder base and set up to be two stages, about 800 in the descent stage and 1800 in the ascent stage. Definitely enough to land a small Pathfinder base and make it back to orbit when you’re done- if you leave the base and landing frame behind. 42 minutes ago, Nightside said: So conical! It looks great! Thanks! The shape follows that of the stock Mk1-2 rather than the Apollo or Orion, both of which are squatter. I tried making the command pod squatter but it just didn’t look right.

Angelo Kerman Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Duna landing and orbit test, configured for SSTO, but this is a two-stage test. Deorbit motor jettison: Coasting down: Setting off the shaped charges in the heat shield end cap: Chutes deployed: Landing burn: Touchdown! Launch: Back in orbit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, @Angel-125. It just looks...too short and too wide. The same happened to me while making the basic shape of a 3.125m command pod, originally designed to be 2.5m.

DStaal Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 44 minutes ago, Angel-125 said: Not familiar with Landertron, how does that work? It's a simple little mod: You attach a part with the controller (either a stand-alone box, or some specialty engines), and on your descent arm the controller. It will automatically perform a 'suicide burn' just before impact to enable a gentle landing. Horizontal speed is not taken into account, and you have to be pointed the right way on your own - all it does is fire the engines at the appropriate time. (It does have a mode for planes as well - upon touchdown it'll fire to arrest forward velocity.) I was thinking if you put the controller in the capsule, it could be armed from there and then the last step in your landing procedure can be automated. It's fairly small, but a neat touch I think.

Angelo Kerman Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Is this the correct forum for landertrons? I don't see how the ladertron controller works. I see a bunch of engines that use it though. I'm just using the stock T-1 Dart aerospike for the Estonian (you can fit other engines too), but I don't see anything that says you add the part module to a command pod and it uses any engine...

It should be the XT-L-KRAB "Landertron Box" which is included in the download. I haven't actually used this mod though, although I will be. In fact, I just put together my own jury-rigged version with manually controlled downward pointing Separatrons to give a slightly overweight capsule a softer landing. I should have known that someone in the community would have already done a mod for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
