Enture Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Dear fellow Kerbalnauts... I'm happy to announce that today, Jeb, Bill and Bob became my Program's first Kerbals to set foot on another planet! My little brother rejoiced much. And they have enough fuel left to reach Low Duna Orbit, waiting for a Return Vehicle, which is always an appreciated bonus...•Upper Stage separation:•To Duna! •Some time later... enjoying an Ikerise during the start of the EDL:•Chutes deployed! The spacecraft is still transsonic, and the surface approaches alarmingly fast... •Nearly there: descending at 4 m/s...

doggie015 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 ...And they have enough fuel left to reach Low Duna Orbit, waiting for a Return Vehicle, which is always an appreciated bonus... Why not have the outer tanks on radial decouplers staged so that they are used during landing and jettisoned to save weight thus giving more Delta-V for the ascent?

Awaras Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It's a mini O'Neill cylinder - type space colony. Nice! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Neill_cylinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatshtisthis Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) I got it into orbit using rockets.And it's an O'Neill Cylinder which is also known as O'Neill Colony. Edited October 8, 2012 by Whatshtisthis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplemunrockets Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Utterly ineffective. The current version of Kerbol is more interesting to look at, but has neither heat, atmosphere, nor solar wind. That was just me attempting to be funny. But you are destroyed by some invisible barrier at around 120,000m, even though the visible surface is much below that. I think somebody did land on it, though, most likely due to a glitch.I believe it was NovaSilisko (I don't know if it was before or after he became a dev), and he did it through save hacking.

Whatshtisthis Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Here's another screenshot of the O'Neill Cylinder I built.Apart from the 3 pilots, it can hold 60 kerbals. Edited October 8, 2012 by Whatshtisthis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPwner Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 That's from the kethane mod, the kethane sensor, not a camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendane Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Since the Kethane mod isn't updated yet, I had to find other ways of refueling my kerbals. So I thought why not put some huge fuel tanks on the Mun ( and later other planets / mun's ) and refuel them that way using the refuel part from the orbital plugin. A real pain to get into orbit, but they hold around 10k fuel after landing, enough for a couple refueling sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got some bugs, but they're the same bugs that were in 0.16, so it's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks really neat.Also, what mod are you using for the ion engines? I'm using DSM with the plugin, but the only ion engine aloud for use isn't very efficient.
