Ultim32 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 @EStreetRockets, I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the shuttle-c engine mount with oms pods doesn't have any liquid fuel or oxidizer in them, meaning they can't use benjee's kj-10 oms engines. Now I am going to try out the new content on github. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe another beta release with all of this new Shuttle-C stuff? The official v1.0.0 won't be ready for some time, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the reusable boattail still being worked on? Or at least a decoupler matching the Shuttle C?

Yep, I'm still working on OPAM. It's a bit further down the line, after Jupiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richmountain112 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Could the OMS-less shuttle C mount have 4 engine mounts instead of 3 or is that too far-fetched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't fit 4 SSMEs. I checked it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember seeing a shuttle concept with 4 engines. Or it was an SDLV with 4 engines. Also, is your shuttle-C downsized like Benjee's orbiter?

I hope to make parts for these vehicles at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldForest Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 @EStreetRockets Btw, I think you accidentally deleted the monopropellant out of the Shuttle-C Boattail, it no longer carries any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Rogerwang (I think) made an Ares V mod, but it's kind of... well, not dead per say, but definitely not maintained. Maybe you could ask Rogerwang for the right to use the Ares V parts in ORANGES. Oh wait! There is one other large diameter core... kind of... The Jupiter Direct Heavy Launch Vehicle concept thing that used 2 shuttle stacks as boosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the Near Future mods has 7.5m tanks including a nose cone. I think that's wider than ORANGES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
