golkaidakhaana Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 @Well If possible, could you please consider adding a roll control vernier/ aerodynamic RCS pod for use on a single SRB stack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Atlas rocket; after it drops its' booster skirt, leaving a single main engine, it relies on an extra pair of verniers to control its' roll. Similarly the Titan second stage uses a single side-mounted exhaust for this purpose, and again similarly Soyuz 2.1v has a single NK-33 with 4 clustered vernier engines.

"maybe" European launcher like Vega... use RCS mounted on upper stage to control the roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 New RCS Pod 3 way for upper stage control : a really small for roll control on small rocket and a srf attach monoprop fuel tank. I've just also take the time to set camera switch for Hermes IVA, and fixed some weird poly : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Actually testing if a texture variant with the new shader could be interesting.... like a "X-24a" Hard to balance with other part... Let me know how do you feel about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josselin2196 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If thinking about new launcher, i find some old picture of super heavy launcher derivated from Arianne 5. Very sad than ESA does not have a proper budget and ambition. Space X could have had some competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space X could have had some competition. i know all of them, only H620 & H920 was unknown for me (those with us booster) We have already some parts to try to reproduce some of those concept, i don't have planned to add more part for that. Thanks for the share Edit: from what i read i think A5 H620 and H920 are probably purpose by Mars society, not really by an industrial, so just probably a "theoric" rocket Edited November 10, 2019 by Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the share Edit: from what i read i think A5 H620 and H920 are probably purpose by Mars society, not really by an industrial, so just probably a "theoric" rocket Mun Mission with Ariane 543C: Hermes with Fuel extension and a lander ready to take off: "5,4,3,2,Unité, Allumage et Décollage!" Not very easy to keep trajectory but manageable: Booster separation, jeb expect explosion but perfect separation "Trajectoire nominal" External Tank Separation ( too close): Separation of the main tank: It's a go for the moon: Homman Transfer: Muun Arrival: Jettison lander cover and injection tank: It's just a good bye (hopefully..): Time to descent: Landing: Perfect Landing, outpost deployed: Next Time attempt to make a duna mission with a Ariane 5SH Thanks @Well for this amazing mod, will be difficult to go KSP 2 without this masterpiece.

josselin2196 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Time to go Duna with a Ariane 5SH, difficult to design, engine a little low on thrust. Ready to take off: Mission Crew: "5,4,3,2,Unité,Allumage et Décollage" Thanks Mech jeb, very difficult to keep balance: Booster Separation: Trajectoire Nominale Unlimited Power, Approved by jeb. Jettison fairing; Main Stage Separation (Many "test" flight die by vulcain destruction No Kerbal Harmed, Jeb don't count): Circularisation and Duna transfert burn: Good bye Kerbin.. 240 Day until Arrival, a bit little but Kerbal are not hard to please: Hello Duna: First braking, our engineer are proud of our re-ignitable Vulcan. Thanks Ike for the Help!!! just a few 60m/s of deltaV for Duna entry: Transfert Stage Separation, end of Knes Part Use Brace for rentry!!! Bob, I tell you this heatshield have some problem!!!!!! Heat Shield Separation: First Burn: Parachute Deployment: Deployment Complete, prepare for final burn: Final Burn: Perfect Landing the new 1.8 ground look beautiful: Bob is happy to be the first Kerbin to walk on duna. Forgot the rover, next time probably: Mod Used: Knes by @Well, Duna Direct by @bcink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
