Yes please! Also good opportunity to practice more IVA's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the Columbus MTFF station With Hermes Edited April 8, 2019 by DiscoSlelge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 For an early french space station for Viking Mission, my best concept for now is a small space module/station at 1.25 scale inspired by this soviet module. I really like the shape : (maybe with solar panel) IRL the only space station designed by french at this period is the Minos / Trisat automatic platform later Solaris A Pressurised manned module have be planned to dock on it later, so the idea is to make this manned module ( soviet inspired / on top ) and an automatic crystals station. With this way, Manned Mission or Automatic Mission with cargo vehicle is possible like irl This automatic station is supposed to produce crystals in orbit, i need to find the gameplay for that. I've already make a Cargo Variant of Viking for that crystals transport ( And Science / KIS / Ore and other stuff ) Of course all this stuff is for Viking vehicle, at small size ( Minos / Trisat concept IRL ) An other automatic station is needed for Solaris Concept, because Solaris is really bigger and can't really match with all this stuff. So Minos Trisat for Viking are for early career ( low crystals rate producted ) And Solaris vehicle and station for later career with big spacecraft and big rate of crystals look fine for everyone ? Also this is my roadmap, but i have also other stuff i want, and of course idk what i'm going to make first. I generally work, depend on my time and motivation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be amazing to have it for Viking <3 I agree with your roadmap idea, and spending love into small station, it would be a fine addition for an early techtree career !

golkaidakhaana Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 @Well Would it be possible to make a science/antenna nosecone for the Viking capsule in place of a docking port for non-rendezvous missions, similar to Mercury's nosecone?

I see what you said, that could be a little part yes. At the first time i've thinked to a science part at 0.625 scale you could add on the bottom of the inline parachute, so we could recover the capsule AND the science part. Idk Actually i think the Diamant B avionics/probe core at 0.625 scale could make a great little top section for Viking : The Parachute could go on top of the avionics or on top of the capsule ? But anyway you're right i probably need a cover or something for simple mission without docking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 I don't have so much time for modding actually, so i still work on L3S / Ariane 1 I hope to finish all the part needed for Knes 1.0 Update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Avoid the engine being integrated with the endcap, and especially avoid stacks which connect by the engine, like in stock KSP. This is very bad for rocket stability. The rocket should go tank->decoupler->tank for the best stability, or tank-engine mount-decoupler-tank, but only if you need it. Engine should attach to a separate node on the tank, and either have no bottom node or have it only for aerodynamics. The reason for that is that KSP physics work best when connected parts are of similar mass. The more light parts (like engines) you put between two tanks, the more wobbly the rocket will be. Ariane 4 is big enough that this may become a problem, and it's annoying to have to autostrut everything. Also remember to use proper node sizes (similar to stock parts of similar size). This will also serve to reduce wobble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt any modder is dumb enough to put the wrong amount of engines on their stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that the same for 70 % of the French Rocket i have in my mod. KSP allow us to play with many "concept" of spacecraft and rocket.

Cheesecake Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) @Well Do you have plans a slighlty bigger upper stage fot the old Ariane-5-concept?It has a bigger diameter like the first stage. Also can you make a suitable adapter für the Hermes for the Ariane-5-concept? Edited May 4, 2019 by Cheesecake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My actual European Hermes is not supposed to be launched on this variant, i don't have tested, TWR ? I can't make an adapter for it because the Adapter is the ressource module, i could see today what that look like.... but idk. Maybe a simple decoupler with a fairing could work ?
