jangofett287 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 You can't do it. Nothing can get a secure connection to the rock so you can lift it. If it was enclosed in a box or had flat bits at the top and bottom it wouldn't be so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UmbralRaptor Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 This is annoying. If I could keep my rocket stable, I could probably do this with stock parts.*goes to check out Silisko's and SundayPunch's parts* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon_Fodder Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 If I put stuff under it it crushes it and stuff mounted radially has a nasty habit of clipping the tower.Best I have done so far is about 8,000m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmbralRaptor Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 A better designer/pilot should be able to get it into orbit. This is the best that I've done so far:The design in VAB. Those are 8 of NovaSilisko's HH-77 insulated fuel tanks feeding 8 of Sunday Punch's K2-X medium liquid engines.This thing was flown straight up at full throttle, because with these parts, I get a slideshow on my Pentium 4. =/ At burnout:And a bit after apokee:Unfortunately, where to go from here is not obvious. Using the higher Isp NERVA engines gives me stability problems part way up (would more/larger SAS solve this without excessive weight?). The tanks don't seem to allow vertical fuel transfer, so stacking is out. Strapping additional engines onto the size will cause collisions with the tower. Using the lower attachment point is problematic, as I now have enough weight to tend to break anything on there on the pad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerillum Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 could you put another ring of 8 onto the moon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmbralRaptor Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 could you put another ring of 8 onto the moon?Outwards? Not without hitting the tower. A second 'stage' of those sorts of engines/tanks separated by decouplers seems to give me structural/strength issues when under thrust (but this might be avoidable with careful throttling). Also, it makes my system cry.edit: Structural issues are solvable. Stability is iffy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryphius Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I've been able to get this thing well out of Kearth's atmosphere. Before I ended the mission, I think I hit 60km a short while after running out of fuel.The problem, of course, is orbit. I'll need to work on my piloting skills because right now, I can't seem to level out without the rocket flipping over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydouble07 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The rocketThis was so annoying to fly. It was impossible to keep upright with any less than 36 SASDumping the moon into orbitAfter about an orbit, back at perigeeTransferring out of orbit, cya moonTouchdown!
