Drakomis Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Put two tail-fins on the sides so they are below the level of the wings. It\'ll blow up every time it hits the ground.Jebediah thanks you. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andras Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Well, it blew up the first couple times, but not the last two test runs, so I dunno, but I have blown up the crew capsule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andras Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 As a pilot, you should note the differences between air speed and angular velocity.Maybe you should have tried it out before posting. The V will climb, then slowdown, then start to accelerate and climb again.I just had a flight last for an hour using only the vanguard fuel, and MECO at 2200m. After establishing a glide I climbed to 5300meters. I actually took 38 screenshots documenting my flight. I crossed over KSC twice before landing after almost an hour in the air. On the way out to sea I climbed to 9088meters before turning around. I took it down to 165m before climbing back up to 4150m and then turned around for landing.

lefayad1991 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 can someone please make a larger version of this? like 2 or 3 times as big? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherDalfite Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I\'ve found an alternate way to launch this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigibro606 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have tried my darnest to crash this dang thing into the ground and make it explode.It\'s impossible, ladies and gentlemen.Behold.The first safe space vessel.http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=2281.msg64231#msg64231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarkun Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 can someone please make a larger version of this? like 2 or 3 times as big? The KW Challenger guys are working on a big shuttle I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 The KW Challenger guys are working on a big shuttle I think.Yes, it has a wingspan of about 6 meters and a length of 9, with a 1.5m cargo bay. It\'s going to take a while for me to finish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaSilisko Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 If you get it working, you\'re a god.Right now it\'s an SSTO spaceplane like the delta-glider. I\'m going to have two versions, one that launches on an Atlas V, and the SSTO version.Currently I need to fix the ailerons. The payload bay doors work, though.

Aiyel Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I\'m currently using the Vanguard as part of my munar exploration rocket using Silisko Edition. Basically, it\'s vangaurd-adapter-ASAS-small tank+ legs-lander engine.I stick that baby on one of my awesome-sauce launch stacks ( i have several experimental stacks capable of putting that thing in munar orbit, playing around to find the most efficient-and awesome- one.) Boost it, set it on a collision course with the mun, and go from there. The lander stage, with an ideal efficiency level, will be sufficient to bring it to a safe landing and put it into munar orbit again, using the vanguard\'s engines for the TKI burn and course correction.
