OrdinaryKerman Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Right now this one has "acceptable" performance and no game-breaking incompatibilities, so this will probably be the only one I play for the foreseeable future. Timeline so far <placeholder for earlier launches I didn't document> Quote some basic world info: Dates are marked dd Month YYYY or dd-mm-yy and times are hh:mm:ss, basic stuff. 'formal' dates use the After Kod calendar with 6 months of 61 days (except the second month Kraken with only 60 days). Quick calendar for 1971 (aka Year 1 on the ingame calendar, i picked it bc computer tech on starting KSP does seem to be a bit more advanced than 1950s Earth) Edited May 10 by OrdinaryKerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryKerman Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 (edited) Evyad, 29 Erbol 1971, all times UTC attempted launch of Space Geographer 1 (CAI name: SPY GLASS Mark 1 Flight Alpha, just a straight-up irl KH-1 Corona because I lack imagination). Launch "scrubbed due to loss of pressure in combustion chamber resulting in flameout", according to the Central Agency for Intelligence. Rolled back to VAB, investigation pending. 09:56 - SPY GLASS 1 rolled out to pad. Resuming countdown. 11:27:35 - RL79 ignition 11:27:44 - Contained failure of turbopump, small explosion on flameout. Rolling back for replacement and inspection of engine section. Publicly released imagery of the vehicle on the pad, from a WDR some days ago Edited May 9 by OrdinaryKerman added an image, edited in post because i couldn't be bothered to spend a lot of time tweaking TUFX for this one shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdinaryKerman Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 (edited) Munyad, 32 Erbol 1971 - Completed full duration static fire of Belle-A to confirm readiness for future missions. Estimated reliability now 84%. Minmyad, 33 Erbol 1971 - Approved driving trip for Astronaut Group 1 graduates, also vibration testing some space equipment at the same time (Jeb Kerman is a god-awful driver). Felix the cat allowed onboard for his first time outdoors in weeks since he went to near-space. Came out surprisingly calm.
