Enable RCS on launch, but when out of the atmosphere please disable the Vernors, but leave the monoprops. Hibernate the Probe on the trip to the mun, and deploy antennae with 1. Wait till the Mun phase angle is ~111*, then burn till encountered. Then put it into a 30Km Munar orbit. Cost is 22,750 funds. Maybe I could secure some government funding for such a monumental mission? Thanks, Seabo14 Sorry, but thanks to KCT, your rocket won't finish building in time for your launch window.

CairoJack Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Due to the efficiency of the upper stage engine I have changed the characteristic of my craft: Cobra I Costumer Price: 15,000 founds Payload to LKO: 1 ton The first stage is reusable @TheEpicSquared My rocket has a payload which can get into a LMO. It weights a bit more than one ton (I succeeded in going into a LKO with it) so if you run out of fuel you can use the payload engine. Can I have a government refund for this mission ? https://kerbalx.com/CairoJack/Cobra-I Edited April 9, 2017 by CairoJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icantmakemodels Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) @Skylon: Yeah, I was thinking of switching out the Vector for something more reasonable like a Swivel or Reliant. It currently has a fun tendency to do style flips after an over-correction wobble. ALSO: @TheEpicSquared -- Athena I is now The Helium Rocket. All the noble gasses (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn), and "Steve" are reserved for future ICMM industries rockets.

Uace24 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I would like to present the Kerbal Launch Alliance Our first LV the Theata 1 is a mostly recoverable Launcher that is capable of putting payloads into any orbit for up to 25,000 funds. Further launchers are in development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to get it up tomorrow. I'll also try to do 2-3 missions. Oh, and for the Iridium I, I can safely up my payload rating, as I just tested it. The Iridium I is now officially capable of putting 4.5 tons into a 150km equatorial orbit. And I've reduced the customer cost as well, to 21,000 funds. I can still make good profits this way. @Skylon Competition is rising between us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Damn I'm being beaten here noooo! Time to up my rating. Also did you make any changes to increase payload and decrease price? I am currently re-testing the Arthur 1 with around 3.375t. DeltaV is tight but... we'll see. Also do the delta-v maps take into account atmospheric efficiency? This thing has 3,500m/s vacuum. Well, that's not taking into account the extra dV from fairing deployment Edited April 9, 2017 by Skylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I was 60m/s short of orbit, so I'm rating it for 3t now. Costs now at 6666/ ton. And for some reason I thought my rockets were costing over 15,000 to launch, but they are just over 11,000. So I can lower the price . @TheEpicSquared I've updated the craft files now.

Skylon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Also @TheEpicSquared to make my Arthur Series reusable I would make these changes: Add parachutes and maybe two lithobraking parts to the upper stage For the upper stage I would add the smallest fuel tank, decoupler, parachutes and move the RCS onto the fuel tank How much development time and cost would this take?

Skylon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Just built the ArthR-1. Not tested recovery. I could slash prices in half while still maintaining profit percentage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Signing up as a PP and a LP. Here's ComSat A, with two low gain and two high gain, it matches @TheEpicSquared's requirements for a comsat that is useful to the "government." https://kerbalx.com/Mad_Rocket_Scientist/Comsat-A Stats: Cost: 6118 Mass: 483kg Part count: 12 Dimensions: 1.9m high, 1.7m wide, 1m long Intended orbit: 200x200km. Comes with decoupler! And here's Astral, my first launch vehicle: https://kerbalx.com/Mad_Rocket_Scientist/Astral Cost calculation: Base VAB price (fueled) is 3725. Launch cost is 3725*1.1 = 4097.5. Most of the first stage is recovered (the fins break) the unfueled cost of that is 1064.9. 4097.5 - 1064.9 = 3032.6. Adding recovery ops cost back in: 1064.9*0.2 = 212.98, 212.98 + 3032.6 = 3245.58. That counts the launch clamp as expendable, is that right? A profit margin of ~23% brings everything to a nice, round 4000 funds. It can carry 1t to LKO, and .45t to TMI, bringing it to 4 funds/kilogram to LKO, slightly undercutting @TheEpicSquared Iridum I's 4.2 funds/kg. I don't know how to calculate success %s, especially as we are using two part failure mods (kerbalism + dangit) it'd be great if someone could could how to do that. It has no mechjeb module, and so it needs to be flown manually, here's instructions on how to do that: Do not launch with RCS on. Wait until you reach 100 m/s, then begin a gravity turn. There's not very much control authority on it, so after a while you'll just be holding d. Stage when the SRB runs empty, don't worry about the parachutes, they're supposed to stage with the SRB. You might need a small boost from the 2nd stage engine at this point. Get rid of the fairing when safe, but before you start the circularization burn. Start the circularization early, a good way to judge how early is to use a maneuver node. Don't use RCS unless it is absolutely necessary i.e. when orienting for a burn, not while burning. It should just take 1t into a 75kmx75km orbit. Use FMRS to switch back to the SRB, it will descend under parachutes to the water with no control.

qzgy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) As a payload provider, I plan to send a absurdly massive comsat into keostationary orbit. Name - Super Array (insert greek letter from alphabet here, starting with Alpha) Provider - Me? Do I insert a company name? Basically a comsat used by kerbals to get TV anywhere Intended for keostationary orbit, inclination ideally zero. Includes small orbital adjustment engine, to make it easier on LP. Other required stuff in image. As of yet, no launch provider seems to be able to carry it into orbit, so I'll let the first person who can carry it do that.
