about

WTFQ974.png

The objective is to develop an interplanetary transport system. The transport system will have several stages. Three stages are currently planned.

The idea for this mod comes from the nasa concept MTV ( Mars Transfer Vehicle Concepts concept -2014)

The main objective is to provide a space transport system with a direct approach, to closer planets within the solar system.

The development level is constantly documented, but we have not planned a completion date. Possibly, pre-releases will be published for testing purposes. Regarding this, I would be very grateful later for feedback! This would shorten the development time, and the suggestions of the forum user could be taken into account.

Best thanks to anyone who made a bug report and suggestion, thank you all for helping me making this mod better and better !

I like it! I always wanted a omni lander with everything integrated. Only comment is that legs could be a bit beefier.

In relation to the ship the construction looks a little thin. but enough wearing. difficult to chance it, because i have invested some time in the lander legs concept, this was the final result.

- There are also parachutes, to landing save the ship. 

(the chutes-pair are at moment in development)

I like the first and last images. I'd prefer the last to be in game---unless that is actually EVE/Scatterer.

You've got a great eye for graphic design, BTW.

:) all images are 'not in game' but only Blender Cam/Rendering Screenshot. 

the last background-picture are real from here http://study-mania.org/nations-sign-major-deal-to-curb-warming-chemicals-used-for-air-conditioning/

Maybe put it in orbit in RSS, everything maxed visually, and see what you can get.

My gut says it should be an in game pic.

the LBSI_SS%20AVALON-Cryogenic%20Engine%20Bl

looks very similar to the Spacex Merlin Family (1D Vacum)

Also here I tried to choose a medium between good detail grad when modeling.

But balanced enough not to burden the memory consumption

@tater By the way, I've tried unfortunately, RSS does not run with my current ksp version 1.2.1  - maybe I'm doing something wrong, went with me up with version 1.13

test%20object%20release%20-%20upperstage 

Upperstage consists of the following components :

+ SS AVALON
+ LandingLegUnit
+ Inflatable Heatshield Unit
+ Adapter ServiceModule to SS-Avalon
+ Service Module
+ Cryogenic Engine Block

: the "upperstage" can already be played. But not yet optimally configured.

To fix the re-enter issue, you just need to move the Center of Mass of the pod close to the heatshield and it will reenter by itself. IRL the same method is used, but sometimes (Soyuz), the CoM is slightly offset from the central axis, to give some lift.

just created  transferstage with engine (not yet texturized)  - of course the completion of the habitat module is still open. 

*The design with inflatable-habitat I have given up in favor of this practical solution.
 

previous design - inflatable-habitat

XQvH2CU.png

- current habita design is like ISS-Cupola - but not shure

L7FZr8h.jpg

But I'm not sure if the whole is not too difficult for the transfer stage.

- looks almost like a tower from the series 'games of trones'.  :)  - I do not like the series at all

 Maybe I should apply a quite conventional contemporary design. a simple 2-man Cupola as in the ISS.

new: added better structured ServiceModule Dockingport  frontdesign ... - but it will still change - I do not quite like it yet.

- but better than here - ok, textures are missing completely at moment.
