RCgothic Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 When I try to translate right it blows up the approach. I figure I'm trying to dock with a bad thruster cluster and that's why it's on manual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also turned it OFF on oblate, expecting to fly away, but again no cigar. Cool thing, you can fly all around the station, but need to stay fairly close We should do races to see who can make it around the station AND dock successfully as fast as possible.

RealKerbal3x Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I haven't tried it yet, but I want to change the controls to be IJKLHN, because it's more familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Steve Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) We need a speedrun leaderboard lol Starting from the first control input I got a docking in 1:55 ish. 5 minutes ago, RCgothic said: When I try to translate right it blows up the approach. I figure I'm trying to dock with a bad thruster cluster and that's why it's on manual! AFAIK it's a mobile issue. Switching to desktop solved it for me. 5 minutes ago, sevenperforce said: We should do races to see who can make it around the station AND dock successfully as fast as possible. Ninja, but I had the same idea without a fly-around. I'll have to attempt both eventually. Edit: Got 1:40 ish for just docking Edited May 12, 2020 by Ultimate Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leaderboard would get lost with all the other stuff in this thread. Roger, will do. Would Science and Spaceflight be the right place, or Off Topic?

Hmm, I'm not sure...it's not 'science' (so to speak) so I guess it should go in the Lounge.

RCgothic Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Whilst everyone is over playing docking sim, SN5 is now in one piece. And a new nose cone is out of the shed. Edited May 12, 2020 by RCgothic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 It occurs to me, watching them stack SN5, that they can build a launch tower VERY quickly now, that's pretty trivial compared to welding tanks together outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbiloid Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Will they publish an SN construction simulator? (With cryofueling, tank bang, fire test and so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first there’s a plain field, so you need to build tents, workshops, etc. Research new tech to build SNs faster or improve their chances to survive the milestones like pressure tests, cryo fueling, then static fire, short hops, 20km flights, and finally, orbit. The goal is to make orbit in the least amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCgothic Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) SpaceX gets a commercial ride-share for two Starlink launches. 3 extra 83kg microsats per launch. I doubt SpaceX will be reducing their standard 60-sat dispenser, so either Falcon 9 found an extra 250kg performance on top of 16.8t to LEO or Starlink sats have each got 4kg lighter. I think it's probably an extra 250kg for Falcon9. 17.05t to LEO and 63 sats at once is seriously impressive! https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/s/skysat Edited May 13, 2020 by RCgothic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCgothic Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Additional confirmation that Static Fire of SN4 is delayed to Thursday: And OCISLY and JRTI2 are both deployed together for the first time ever. OCISLY is going down-range to catch Starlink B1049.5 and JRTI2 is conducting sea trials. Practice for the side-booster ASDS FH mission later in the year!
