Sparker Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm running a Laythe exploration mission at the moment. My ship is supposed to bring quite much equipment to Laythe and execute a aerobreaking maneuver there. I'm using FAR, so I designed my rocket to be aerodynamically stable. Well, I thought so. That's what happened during the entry into the atmosphere: So, everything was fine until the ship started pitching down. That was the most amazing failure I've ever had. The contents of this big fairing are 6 communication satellites, a couple of big kethane drills, a car and some other stuff, that's why it exploded into so many pieces.So, next time I'll install an airbreak at the rear of my rocket, because the whole load shoudn't be applied to this weak fairing.

astropapi1 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I think I nailed it on the SRB. Believe it or not, this is totally an in-game shot. No photoshop, no renders, nothing. It's my background ATM. From the same trip. Ike wants my attention. Edited November 8, 2013 by astropapi1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Znath Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 With only the first three things researched on career mode. Landed on Minimus without any guidance systems and minimal parts. The return mechanism consists of the four rockets on the cabin. Took about 5 tries of reloading to "hit" Kerbin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woopert Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 ^ I like the way the Kerbal is just standing there smiling, really cute. Here are two capsule returning from the Mun that were part of the rescue mission. One was empty (from the stranded craft in low Munar orbit), the other was the one the Kerbals were in.

Estimates for fuel required for a Eve -> Gilly return mission were a little too accurate. I had planned to save the vessel for another mission but there wasn't enough fuel to circularize.

Deadweasel Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 [TABLE=width: 800]<tbody>[TR][TD]Today the Duna Explorer mission dealt with some shuffling and reconfiguration of the ship. The Sherpa's tug plate -previously mounted inside- was moved to the external hull, and in its place a transport pod was installed. The pod is designed to be carried by the dropship to act as a shuttle for members of the expedition.The new vehicle bay was launched and sent to replace the original one, which was disengaged and guided under automation to de-orbit safely over the water.Once Venture had her new vehicle bay in place, it was time to send up one of the Kurb Burners, now stripped of its quantum struts, and its top Jr dock swapped out for a standard one. Since the dock will be too large to keep in place while the rover is operating, it has been placed on a decoupler, which will be triggered by the dropship upon touchdown at the final delivery location. This modification was performed after it was noted that the Kraken is attracted without exception to quantum struts and jr docking ports on tiny vehicles.The delivery vehicle (once again automated) brought the rover to within 400 meters, ensured it was stable next to Venture, and dropped its cargo before firing off to de-orbit.The Sherpa dropship was then dispatched to retrieve the rover and bring it back to Venture, to be stowed on one of the drive ring docking ports.Careful now... Bob skillfully guides the Sherpa into place, pivoting at the last minute to achieve the proper carrying orientation for the rover's design.Capture! Sherpa reports back all systems nominal, control authority functional and stable. The Kurb Burner doesn't look very graceful, sandwiched between those two big honking ports, but those will be disposed of, once Venture reaches Duna and the rovers are finally delivered to the research site.Time to turn 'n burn. On the short return hop, Bob tested the Sherpa's handling characteristics while loaded, and discovered the controls responded as smartly and smoothly as ever. The rover's weight was negligible as far as Sherpa's powerful maneuvering systems were concerned.Stowage delivery and lockdown was completed as smartly and smoothly as the initial rendezvous. Rover 1 was in place and ready for the trip.Sherpa separated from the rover as simply as expected, to return to its berth and await the arrival of the second Kurb Burner; the final component of the Duna Explorer mission.[/TD][/TR]</tbody>[/TABLE]Duna Explorer, comprised of:IPEV 104-2C "Venture" vehicle bay and drive sectionCardinal deploy-able ground research station"Journeyman" crew housing, supply storage and drive ring"Kurb Burner" mobile science vehicle (additional vehicle to arrive within the day)Mission details to-dateParts: 566 (+78 with the arrival of the final vehicle)Tonnage: 217.49tCrew: 5 (Commander, navigator, Sherpa pilot, mission specialists)Crew time on-orbit: 7 days, 10 hours, 23 minutesTime remaining until departure: 3 days, 12 hours, 19 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadweasel Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thats an incredibly beautiful ship. Very aesthetically pleasing.Why, thank you! Funny thing is, she wasn't designed for looks at all, it all just sort of turned out that way once I started putting the bits together.Fear not though, she'll be back to looking a little odd soon enough, once the mission arrives at Duna.
