Dan61 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Neat! I may do something like that as well.Jeb on top of the Mun Arch! He fell off the arch after this pic .Apologies if everyone else is aware, but I jet packed a Kerbal through the arch the other day - and he just disappeared in a puff of smoke! Mission log says he's dead ... or transported somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhnifong Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The largest lander Ive landed on Eve so far. But it's still insufficient to get back to orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekku Zakku Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Wow, nice try thought! Certainly looks like it has potential. I wonder if anybody's done the math for what kind of rocket it would take to even get into Eve orbit =P (Edit: I'm sure they have, but even from what I've seen in terms of "Eve Landers", I'm surprised none of them are capable of doing it) =/ Edited September 27, 2012 by Ekku Zakku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, very nice indeed! Please keep it up! Meanwhile, upon approaching Eve: (now that I think about it, Kerbol being directly in the camera's FOV should be much brighter, but oh well...)

nhnifong Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The lander on top is meant for eve, It's a fine fine machine, and the only part of this whole ship that works right. There's a few too many nuclear engines (24) in the interplanetary stage. but I'm impatient and they don't have much thrust.This managed to clear the platform one time, but when it tilts, the joints between the large grey tanks break. After reinforcing them with struts, the next thing in line will break. It can't accelerate at more than about 1.1 Gs but it's hard to get a fine control over the throttle at 2 FPS.

Ekku Zakku Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 HAHA, wow that thing is massive. You want to send me the craft file in a PM so I can see if I can do anything with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNapple Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Do air-breathing engines work on Eve? I still can't play KSP, so I can't test it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the amount of nuke engines you have. They weight so much you are gimping yourself, Cut em down to size, yar! Also, remember you can alt+ </> to give physics time warp to speed up your orbit transfer times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubal Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 My first manned trip to Duna started with an unmanned mapping probe charting both the planet and it's moon:Duna Mapper 2Dropping the interplanetary booster stageParachute-assisted landingFirst photos on Duna's surface, but what's that in the background? (And who is holding the camera?...)Liftoff, and final goodbyeIs the fuel bug still present? I'm a bit surprised I actually made it back, and even did a powered landing on Kerbin (with MechJeb help) since the parachutes were expended on Duna.I did take more than one try though....The mods used were MechJeb, ISA MapSat, and the Protractor on the mapper. I didn't take any screens of the ascent stages, since it's in flux and explodes 5/6 times on the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

segaprophet Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 A Cicada MSAT-II LRM satellite during a failed aerobraking maneuver over Laythe. Came in direct from interplanetary intercept, 6000-7000m/ps. Set Laythe periapsis at 18,500m. Satellite violently decelerated and lost control - was unable to regain orbit and crashed into Laythian ocean.Does anyone know a good aerobraking altitude for Laythe?

Accelerando Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 23-26km is my usual Laythe insertion altitude. This was for insertions at both 5000 and 7000 m/s if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
