katateochi Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Those orbits are absolutely beautiful. And remind me of Lissajou curves, for some reason While on the subject of geometric satisfaction... finally managed to make a stock fairing detach somewhat decently:http://i.imgur.com/Vos4lIx.pngVery nice (geometrically satisfying) stock fairings!! I'm going to steal that idea in 3..2..1, stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidboi Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 MEV Cassiopeia (top) and MEV Cepheus (bottom) rendezvous in low Kerbin orbit before heading to Duna. After the 3-kerbal crew of commander Macley, pilot Jenbrett and specialist Patkin boarded the Cassiopeia, their light orbiter was docked on the Cepheus' cargo hold for transport.

Can't imagine how long it took to set up the action group though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenchant Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Can't imagine how long it took to set up the action group though.Not that long, it's activated by staging anyway. You basically attach a cubic octogonal strut facing outwards, then put a decoupler with 1x1 panels on it and a sepratron somewhere in the mix. Attached with double 6x symmetry. I'll share the craft file if people want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlamedSteak Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I don't think I'll ever get tired of looking at the 8k texture of Kerbin. From 200km, it's the best view in all of KSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois424 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Stock parts, no mods... I decided a month ago to make a good Mun rover.I was never able to make anything stable and safe, until I read this forum and it's rover threads. Thanks everyone on the forums for the tricks - Docking Mode (unless it goes airborne then you need the staging to maneuver it to safety) - Disabling front wheel's breaks - Disabling steering on back wheels, and motor if needed - Center of mass middle, wide suspension - SAS active in most case makes it extremely more stable.The one with the solar column was extremely frustrating to get off the KSC pad and onto the Mun itself... And found it unstable (I played it yesterday, and it was stable enough, beating most design I ever made bar one). Called "Lunar I" (extremely imaginative of me, I know) it can easily cruise around speeds of 25 m/s without problems. It doesn't like to fly tho, and crashes into a million pieces if I try to "drop" into a crater from the rim. In a more polished version, I would remove the 'Gigantor XL Solar Array' on the top of it's column as I never use it. For the rest it stabilizes the whole thing so it stays. It's also a better rover for manned kerballed mission because of the seat on the front.The other is a personal challenge I issued myself. It must look like the Spirit/Opportunity Mars Rover, be stable on the Mun, and push at least 25m/s without flipping or destroying itself. After 2-3 tries, I settled for a small one and boy was I in for a treat. Since I suck at launching things, it took me a week to figure a good launcher that worked... But once on the Mun, it can be stable at speeds of 45-50m/s, has survived jump/falls from a crater's rim until touchdown below (but not at 50m/s heh) It has all the scientific stuff from 0.22 (most on it's "neck" and the material's bay underneath for center of mass with the SAS strapped on), and an antenna to transmit the lot. It's INSANELY good and will be looking on sending my first mission ever to Mars DunaI drove the two of them together (a 5h drive from my "Lunar Spirit" Rover taking much risks) for family photos... enjoy the different angles !( Sorry for the lot of pictures, but rather proud of my hard work after so many weeks ! ) Edited December 22, 2013 by Francois424 spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlamedSteak Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Or Aquabreaking. Nothing worse than completely balsing up an aerobrake. Especially when you're doing it as far out as Laythe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you're doing it as far out as Laythe.Or lithobraking into Duna with a recreation of the Copernicus MTV, carrying four kerbals. At least they had time to transfer to the Orion capsule and perform a somewhat-powered-landing on Duna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tw1 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) "Kerbaboy" got himself into a bit of a predicament. It was a lovely Mun and Minmus that night. That's right.A Kerbalised nativity scene. Not quite Biblically accurate, but the traditional set up. Nice all the same.

KAO Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 transport rover just arrived to one of my three Munar basesthis base is 7Km and 15Km away from the other two bases, which are empty. So, I must populate them.arrived at Lunox-3 after a 7km tripposing in front of the rover with cargo doors openthe rover was initially designed to build small seismic readers all across the region using KAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
