So What are the Updates for the TL @GoldForest? To be honest, decided to take a break from SISS, then when I decided to get back into it, the forums was in the ICU, so that did a blow to my drive to resume this, so I put this on the back burner again. As of right now, I have nothing really planned except the international stage. The Russian stage is still a mystery to me. I thought about using Tantares new MAK parts, but MAK is soviet, and we're way past that era. Like I said, SISS 4 is 2040s, possibly 2050s. I doubt Russia would be using tech that's from the 1970s/80s by then. (*He says while they're using 80s tech in the 2020s*) Edit: Sorry if you got four pings from me. Forum glitched out. Thought it wasn't posting my reply. Edit 2: Might forgo the "Russian" segment. Edited October 30, 2024 by GoldForest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldForest Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 (edited) September 20th, 2035 That's no Mun. It's a space station! Icarus Solar Shield Orbital Cheating Construction So, yep. New project. So, the two hint posts should have given it away. I'm putting a space station based off Icarus 1/2 from the movie Sunshine around the sun, really close to it too. I need to do a little more testing, but basically close to 5,000 KM. Enough to really cook anything. Going to need plenty of radiators. Also, just to warn you, it might not be very big, at least the station part of it. The shield itself is 439 parts, give or take. Yeah. I looked into welding mods, but couldn't find any for 1.12. If someone has a suggestion, please do make it. I'd be grateful for not having to deal with the lag lol. Anyway, on to the photos. Oh! And yes! The first teaser image is the front of the shield reflecting the sunlight! And the second image is the back of the shield in complete darkness. Full album: Imgur: The magic of the Internet Orion approaching from the "Dark side" of the shield. One of the few times Kerbals will ever see this side of the shield. Kerbal for size. Yeah, it's big big. Orion inspects the "Dark Side" and leaves. About 80 km away... and you can still see the darn thing! Yes, the model is loaded in thanks to distant object enhancer! ~35ish km away Edited March 21 by GoldForest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldForest Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 October 29th, 2035 Shields Up! Icarus Second Solar Shield + Core Module Flown by Saturn C-8C The second shield, which was able to fold up into a neat 3.75m diameter package, was launched aboard a Saturn C-8C, a modern upgrade to the ancient C-8B design. The only differences are the engines really. And the fairing being attached to the second stage instead of the third, which allows the second stage to be encased with the payload, increasing aerodynamics. Up to like... 600 parts I think... but surprisingly only 177ish tons... I would expect the main shield to way more....

Which reminds me, I need to find the point that the solar shield can survive without overheating. Kind of need-to-know information if you're going to orbit a star that close... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
