artao Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 YAY!! WOO!! \o/My first successful docking. Took many many many attempts.....I just really like this shot. Kerbin Mapping Satellite KMS Alpha.....This one clearly didn't make it. Nice burn-up tho.....Again, I just really like this shot. From the back-side of my Kerbin Mapping Satellite, KMS Beta. This one I'm trying to send off to Mun, as it turns out TWO mapping satellites around one body is utterly pointless.It's taking QUITE a while tho, what with only having these three Ion engines.

RogueMason Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 It was decided that in order to strengthen the already solidifying ties between Kerbin and Duna, a fuel depot was to be placed in low Duna orbit. Currently, the Duna Fuel Depot is unoccupied and has about a third of its current total fuel aboard, but a refuelling vessel will head out and transfer two crew in the process.It is also likely that another large fuel tank will be docked to allow for greater refuelling potential. After all, Duna has become quite a lively place in recent times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Owl Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 High Flight Station under construction. This was the only time I tried having both models of shuttle docked at the same time. One frame per second. And a cool looking shot of the Great Eagle in orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekes Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 It's an Aerospike clipped inside a LV-N.so whats your ISP? Like 500s for 200N of thrust? And is that what the engine's for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giggleplex777 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) so whats your ISP? Like 500s for 200N of thrust? And is that what the engine's for?It's 449s for 235kN. The Aerospike greatly increases the TWR of the rocket and can be toggled off to save fuel.The engine is for heavy lifting interplanetary tugs and is lighter and more realistic than having 5 NTRs attached to a fuel tank. It may also be useful for landers once I figure out how to make it stack attachable.It's based off of a LANTR: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/enginelist.php#id--Nuclear_Thermal--Solid_Core--LANTRAnd this: http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/realdesigns.php#id--Basic_Solid_Core_NTR--Shadow_Shield Edited May 19, 2013 by Giggleplex777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekes Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Well now that you say its so useful im gonna build my own, for my Cruiser Mk VII (It runs on 4 NERVAS and so we could shave off like 8 tonnes if we ditched three of them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skycrane detaches after landing and flies off with solid-fuel motors.Is it acceptable to post pictures here that contain anomalous features?

Sabor Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) On the 9th mission in this thing, transported 3 additional Kerbals to the station. 6 Kerbals on board, now. See if you can spot the screenshot in this thread I stole the design of the station from. Though it's hard to keep everything lined up when you attach them to one another using that stupid wobbly armGorgeous.Can you post the craft file and what mods you used in building it?I uploaded it to KerbalSpacePort but it has yet to appear, there's also a Filedropper link to it in the B9 thread, since it's mostly B9 parts, around page 74 or there abouts, as well as a list of other mods it uses Edited May 20, 2013 by Sabor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
