Alright. PM me your skype info.

Ok. I am using my Mac, not my Windows, and I need to create a Skype account first because I don't have Skype yet, but I will join. Also, do the engineers write out the KoS scripts? I'm not really good at writing out KoS scripts.

You don't need to make kOS script so far.

Hello.  An update on kOS:

I am personally terrible with kOS, and have never really understood it well...and I'm a programmer.  That's why I have begun using the kRPC mod to write the programs in actual C#, and I therefore have more control over it.  It's currently going very well.

I'm building a Surveyor workalike for this, complete with an Atlas-Centaur launcher and lunar descent script. Probably ready in a few weeks though don't count on it.

I used RP-0 and ScanSat for the instruments, that OK? 

Not sure about RP-0 because of the avionics, but SCANsat is fine.

We have another launch attempt of the Asimov1 rocket again today! Be sure to join us on today's launch attempt on the Real Space Program Twitch TV.

So I take it the launch was scrubbed yesterday?

Asimov I Launch Recap

 

A thundering sonic boom was heard across the Gulf of Mexico, as Explore Aerospace's Asimov I sounding rocket plummeted through Earth's atmosphere, at approx. 16:13 this afternoon, just over an hour after its launch from LC20 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Due to an unexpected power anomaly mission control lost signal with the craft at T+12:42. The craft reached a maximum recorded altitude of 2227.4 km and a projected apogee of 2500 ± 300 km. Its maximum velocity was 5163 m/s and its max acceleration was 24.1 g's.

 

“Other than the power anomaly, the mission was a huge success.” Said an anonymous Explore employee.

 

“We expect the cause of the power failure, to be a malfunction in the flight computer prior to launch, causing the craft to start draining electricity prematurely.” Said The Launch Operations Director for this flight. 

 

Although the failure, among others, has caused some doubt among RSP critics, they are still pushing forward to reach their ultimate goal of sending a man to the moon and back. ZooNamedGames, the head of RSP hopes for this launch to be a vital learning experience in its attempts to reach this goal.

 

Let us hope that their dream comes true.

May this also be a tribute the the many people who died on 9/11.
