Oblivion Aerospace (OAP)

A small parts package of heat shields for Kerbal Space Program (KSP) that also works with the Deadly Reentry (DR) add-on.

Cabin notes by LostOblivion

• Features:
  • Currently features the Conical Heat Shield inspired by the sphere-cone heat shield on the Mars Science Laboratory.
  • Comes in three sizes: 1.25m, 2.5m, and 3.75m.
  • Works great with Ferram Aerospace Research (FAR) by ferram4, in that here-cone shaped heat shields offer greater control (by lift) over blunt ones.
  • Comes with an auto-shroud adapter that meets flush with the shield. It works st like the stock heat shields. Just add something to the heat shield's bottom de (like a decoupler) and the shroud/adapter will appear!
  • Supports the Deadly Reentry plugin by Starwaster, based on the works by thanKell, ialdabaoth (who is awesome), and r4m0n.
  • Unlike the heat shields in DR, the Conical Heat Shield does not have an ni-decoupler. Instead, it has a single decoupler on the top attachment point ellow/black ring), allowing for more custom designs.
• Known issues:
  • Stock KSP has an issue with rescaleFactor on root parts. Since this mod uses rescaleFactor, you should avoid using these shields as the root part on your vessel.
• Future:
  • More heat shields based on real-life ones, like a Galileo-style reflective heat shield.
  • I've been playing with the idea of a giant heat shield with a "hatch" at the center, allowing for engines to fire through it once the hatch is open, allowing for a more realistic spaceship design with g-forces pointing the same direction during both burns and aerobraking (like the one in BBC's documentary Space Odyssey: Voyage to the Planets).
  • I have plans on making all heat shields tweakable in size, like the brilliant Procedural Fairings mod by e-dog.

Help Wanted

• Variant Textures and code to make it work always welcome!
• Model updates to Unity 2019
• Have a request? Glad to have them, kindly submit through GitHub.

Good work! I'm happy to see that my small mod can continue to bring joy through @zer0Kerbal's continued efforts. I wish him thanks, and the best of luck.

Great mod! Curious would you be able to have a heatshield that has a ability to store a docking port in it Like the proposed Gemini space station? Also would be cool if you could add a heatshield that can retract and detract and act like a decoupler so you could put it on a second stage of a rocket for full reuse. Those would be cool additions!

[KerbalabreK]

Wait, is it a new mod?

*Posted March 28* but only supports ver1.0.5

Bruh i'm just interested in these cone shaped heatshield

expecting a new version for 1.12.x

You should be able to fit a docking port on the inside - but not on the outside, not unless you want it to burn like a marshmallow tossed into the sun.

Well - there is the stock inflateable heatshield, and then there are popup heatshields in Radial Heatshields (RHS) which I am currently trying to update. I am trying to put both a top and bottom decoupler on them.(top off by default)

 am working on updating it. Just needed to get the link for the OP for the documentation. Old version should still work. YMMV

This parts addon's only dependency is Kerbal Space Program.

[Starwaster]

Although it says it supports Deadly Reentry, it references the stock ModuleAblator and not ModuleHeatShield, which is DRE's extension of ModuleAblator. That's probably not too much of a problem since DRE will patch any references to ModuleAblator it finds. The main difference between the two being that DRE's version has handling for what happens when ablator resources are exhausted. It also establishes soft limits with gradual failure for max temperatures of parts, which you may or may not want to do anything with in the heat shield config.

 

Also, I see that you are thinking about doing a  heat shield with a door for engines. If you're interested in suggestions, might I suggest an inflatable shield with a hard cap? (this could be a single part or two parts; a hard heat shield with openings for engines + inflatable attachable shield extending the diameter). What I have in mind is based on a concept they are considering for manned Mars missions. (see below)(note landing gear. The shield would not be jettisoned, rather would be retained and inflatable retracted after landing)

Thank you @Starwaster. All the stats were adjusted to reflect stock (including maxTemp) - so what you are saying is all 'stock' heat shields are compatible?

Would you kindly PR a module manager patch for this? Would be very much appreciated!

I would love to do one of those - just don't currently have the texturing nor the modeling ability; so was some verbiage included from the original author.
