[1.0.5] FASA 5.44

[m00f]

Also, whoot a 1000 posts!!!

m00f gets to request ONE part.

NASA made or planed to be made from 1958 to 1976.

I think that I will ask the community to diecide on two parts that I think that would be interesting:

The "fasa style MEM" http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/65304-FASA-Style-Munar-Module

Or the explorer-1 satelite

Thank you, frizzank, for making this awesome mod, and good luck in the future!

I think Explorer one parts would be good.... also a part with a hydigen fuel cell... the tested them on gemini for latter use on appollo

The Gemini already has a fuel cell aboard. Right-click the capsule while in flight.

[tmikesecrist3]

thats a fuel cell not a battery? I will have to check when I unlock it in the tech tree

[MaverickSawyer]

Yup. Gobbles monoprop, but it does top off your batteries.

I also second the Explorer parts idea. Perhaps a radiation detector part (similar to the ones that were installed on the real Explorer 1 that helped discover the Van Allen Radiation Belts) for more science.

[tmikesecrist3]

well a radeation detecter might be a bet of a porblem he might need permission form the person that does Ltech. as they already have one... and the fuel cell uses mono perpelent... hum I figered it would use liquied fuel and oxidiser.....

[NathanKell]

Why would frizzank need permission to make a model, and/or an experiment?

Regarding fuel cells: all it takes is adding/editing the ModuleGenerator in the part.cfg. You add your input resources (LiquidOxygen and LiquidH2, say) and their rates; you add your output resources (Water and ElectricCharge, say) and their rates. Presto, done.

(Although ModuleGenerator is kinda broken, and Squad still hasn't fixed it...)

[tmikesecrist3]

the reasion think frizzank might need permission is becouse some one already has that exparment as part of there mod... and where ip is consurned I tend to think its better the Error on the side of caution.. the the rad dectecter in Ltech uses the moddle for the graveionlie I think... so it might not be an issue

[frizzank]

If I did do it it would be faked, meaning I would use another detector as a template and just call it a radiation detector. Kind of how I am doing the Goo irradiator now.

[MaverickSawyer]

How hard is it to make a science part, anyways? Can't be too hard. Just come up with a list of results for Biomes, and away you go. :/

[tmikesecrist3]

Might be worth talking to the person that does LTech he has one already....... and a sky lab core and some camras that take "photos" out side the ship.... I dont know how late into nasa you want to go frizzank

[frizzank]

1976.

How hard is it to make a science part, anyways? Can't be too hard. Just come up with a list of results for Biomes, and away you go. :/

Here is the code for the gravity scan. Create a new definition, id, title, scan data and text for every planet and biome. After your done, I will create a new radiation scanner part.

EXPERIMENT_DEFINITION
{	
	id = gravityScan
	title = Gravity Scan
	baseValue = 20
	scienceCap = 22
	dataScale = 3

	requireAtmosphere = False
	situationMask = 51
	biomeMask = 51

	RESULTS
	{

		KerbinInSpaceMountains = The field appears to be strongest along these mountain ranges.
		KerbinInSpaceDeserts = The dunes appear to have a very stable gravitation, though some spikes would indicate the underground terrain varies in composition.
		KerbinInSpaceBadlands = The sensor reads the gravity over the badlands of Kerbin. 
		KerbinInSpaceIceCaps = The sensor detects variances under the surface of the ice. Is there a landmass under that ice?
		KerbinInSpaceShores = The sensor passes over the shores of Kerbin. The readings appear to be nominal.
		KerbinInSpaceWater = The sensor shows a surprising variance as it passes over the oceans. Hinting at the varied topology deep below the waters.
		KerbinSrfSplashedWater = The sensor has detected changes in the local gravity that seem to be related to the passing of the Mun.

		MunInSpace = The instrument surveys for changes in the field of the Mun. This data will help to accurately calculate the mass of the body.
		MunSrfLanded = The sensor conducts a detailed survey of the local gravity. 
		MunSrfLanded = After calibration the sensor is able to detect the interplay of gravity between Kerbin and the Mun.

Its easy to tell someone else to do it...

I was thinking a magnatomater might be interestiong if there is not one already in the game

[frizzank]

I like the idea of a Magnatomater could base it off the gravity detector as well.

[tmikesecrist3]

oh yes its a gravity decter not a magnatomater..... lol a spectral camra that would tell you what gasses where in a could or a amtispore

[MaverickSawyer]

Oh, there's already TWO magnetometers: KSP Interstellar has one, and DMagic Orbital Science, which I have been using to great success. It's a space only sensor, but it goes out on a boom and looks quite nice.

[zakkpaz]

was the thrust for the Gemini LES reduced? because its no longer powerful enough to get away from the rocket even if its still on the ground

[wasmic]

Hmmm, 1976. That leaves Skylab on the table. But making Skylab would also mean making the Apollo CSM, a Saturn V and a Saturn IB. It could be a good long term goal... assuming that you don't have other plans.

[czokletmuss]

Frizzank, are you planning adding Deadly Reentry compability to Mercury and Gemini capsules? It would be sweet - right now stacking additional heatshields beneath the pods looks kinda silly

[m00f]

I think that for my one part request, I will chose the explorer-1 satellite. The FASA style munar module has 8 parts, and seems a likely candidate for the pack already. So, I would love to see an explorer-1 satellite soon in this amazing pack!

I'd say that the Explorer-1 was a good choice. It's pretty important and all, being the first satellite that the US put in orbit IIRC. Which reminds me that noone has done a Sputnik yet.

[frizzank]

Since the Explorer 1 satellite is so tiny, I'm also goign to give you this monstrosity as well, the juno upper stage.

[NathanKell]

Woohoo!

With IR's turntable we can even spin-stabilize it.

[tmikesecrist3]

yeah there is allready a sky lab core its part of the ltech pack... alos there is an appollo missin pack that has the satern 5 and the apollo CSM now the problem is that the satern five in that pack does not fit in the bab, it als may well be over built for kerbal given how much smaller kerbal is compared to earth... I also think Mun is also closer to it then earth... I just used a altless rocket to put a porbe in Mun orbet I dont know of that would be posable...

[tmikesecrist3]

juno that became the redstone or was it the atles didnt it?
