Johnnyd Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 This is my first real video showing Kerbal Space program. Starting with a launch into orbit to acheive the proper velocity, I hold a consistent orbit at 80,000meters @ 2278.5 m/s. I maintained this Orbit and deploy a satellite near the end. Concluding in a reentry to Kearths atmosphere and then landing at the launch area. I hope you Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon_Fodder Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 You landed on the ramp not the pad.....do over, you failed ;PNo that was pretty cool. Most of my rockets end in fiery death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyd Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 HAHA yea i know it was as close to the launch pad as I could get..... After 38 minutes you get kinda nervous hoping that you don't hit the tower or spontaneously com-bust into a fiery grave of green goo.... Well that's what I did the first time at least lol.

robotroadkill Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 What video software did you use to capture the mission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyd Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 I used Fraps to capture it. Payed roughly $38 or so when I bought it a while back. This software works well if you take the render that it gathers and encode it with a better format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckellingc Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Not gonna lie, you had me worried after you released the sattelite and started your burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyd Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 The first time around I overshot the Kerbal Space Center. My resolution was to slow down my velocity so I could make re-entry a bit more precise. My reason was at 2,300 m/s it becomes very hard to enter the atmosphere were you want without really good thrust! Thanks for watching my video.
