Enceos Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I tested out the reentry of Kerbals with just their EVA suit. Several descent profiles, in the best one I could only shed 500 m/s with drag + jetpack, that was not enough to keep a Kerbal from burning up. Looking at the post above, there's something fishy about it. Kerbals don't have enough thermal capacity to get through reentry with normal heat setting.

Vexillar Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) Hi Enceos. Un-reproducible results should be challenged - so I take no offence at you calling out. I'll say that I was a little surprised myself. The trickiest bit for me was getting that little rocket into a stable, lowest possible orbit without running out of fuel. Well, apart from failing utterly to land within kms of KSC as I can't judge an atmospheric reentry window for toffee flavoured snacks. For the avoidance of doubt - Normal settings on Sandbox, 1.4.3 with MH on Windows. I didn't try 120% heat. This morning I did a clean vanilla install with no mods whatsoever (just 1.4.3. and MH) - in case of unexpected mod side effects. As before - Normal settings, Sandbox. At first I thought it wasn't going to work - I didn't get my circularisation spot on, so the orbit was a bit higher than before - Jeb's EVA fuel ran out before the reentry effects started - but sure enough, though he glowed red, the temperature bar didn't max and he didn't explode. Will post the screenshots shortly - hope I get the imgur link right this time (last time, I kept getting an error so couldn't edit the original post - apologies again for the bad etiquette of a double). https://imgur.com/a/gnj8F1t Edited June 5, 2018 by Vexillar Imgur link added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vexillar Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Val got a bit fed up of Jeb going on about how he'd space-jumped from 70+km and thought she could do better. So she had a word with Bill about building a contraption out of one of his stock of unused flea boosters, re-arranged the universe to provide 120% heating and took it up to 80+km just to shut him up. The results are, I think, definitely more stylish that Jeb's, even if Val read the de-orbit co-ordinates from his post-it by mistake and also had to swim home. https://imgur.com/a/oSuTKX3 ( @Enceos - regarding Jeb's attempt, compare @Chemp 's screen shots with mine - the speed/altitude profile is pretty similar. One key element seems to be keeping the kerbal in retrograde-to-surface both in the EVA pack burn and the the entry into freefall - kerbals have a lot less drag going feet or head first, I've found.)
