Bill Phil Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 You know I've had this game for six years and I still haven't done the Jool V challenge? Maybe it's time to change that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRS Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 It's intense, but addicting, not joking, i daresay, one of the best challenges in KSP, more fun if you do bonus landings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT'S SUPER FUN !!! I've never visited jool before, it's too hard to calculate the hohman transfer orbit to the jool, the furthest planet that i had ever visited was duna. And it was in duna's low orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also correct for orbital inclination, very handy for visiting Pol and Bop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My laptop was underpowered when I got it, and that was like 5 years ago. I run KSP fine, although it starts to chug if I have over 200 parts or so, or if I'm in the water.

And it was in duna's low orbit. You don’t need to calculate. I’ve found that 2000 m/s is a good estimate for the delta-v, plus about 250 for plane change corrections. So long as you leave when the angular separation between Kerbin and Jool is roughly 90 degrees, with Jool ahead of Kerbin, you should be fine. Make sure to leave Kerbin prograde relative to its orbit. Don’t be afraid to make some mid-course corrections, you’ll need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be afraid to make some mid-course corrections, you’ll need them. Or in short, find the most explosive maneuver, should take like 1900 m/s, mid course corrections are ultimately essential, i failed to get my Laythe lander to Laythe with a ship that should be able to do that because i missed that part, also try practicing gravity assists on Duna's Ike, you can later use Tylo or Laythe to capture around Jool.

Aeroboi Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I never did a JOol 5 before but I'm thinking about planning such a mission. I personally like to set a rule to do a quik lap, to get there and do it in the fastest amount of time possible. Has anyone done this before? Is it a whole new challenge altogether?

To the best of my knowledge no one has done a quick lap of the Jool 5 before, although it could be its own challenge, it would still be a Jool 5 nonetheless so I would accept it here.

Normal Jool 5 may take something like 10-11 years, a quick lap...at least faster than that, but you better do it efficiently, except if you mean "Jool 5 in one sitting" or such.

Not in one sitting, I specifically mean MET. Think about a direct transfer using ION propulsion and direct encounters with the moons rather then using gravity assists. I will also try to make it reusable. It's a bit of a cross relation but it's my desired design goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...good luck, maybe you mean "that" (JacobJHC's Grand Tour in Jool transfer part), that may be challenging but as Jacob said, it's still a Jool 5, yet he'll write every important details of your entry, also try extra landings if you want .

GRS Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sorry @JacobJHC but i cant fulfill my promise...YET. But i have an idea of a Nigh Reusable (hopefully) full chemical Grand Tour, nigh reusable means it's mostly reusable, that's the "Sheep v3", last installment of my casual-ish Jool 5 craft series, the Grand Tour that envelopes a Jool "landing" will be "The Transcendent", which will come after The Millenia.

Maybe I'll do it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starslinger999 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) IM BACK After many updates and broken Mods... I'm ready for the Jool V Challenge. Going to create a forum post to document this... Just because I have school stuff and the posts will be spread out. *EDIT* Here it is: Doing a few "support" missions with probes to scout out landing sites first Edited February 3, 2019 by Starslinger999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and for @JacobJHC, maybe you can see my plannings of Sheep v3 in The Ultimate Challenge thread), also, had to take some break now.
