[Rocket Builder] NASA [SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM]

[NASAFanboy]

Hi there, the National Aeronautics and Space Agency is a govermental agency, focused to spreading the human presence around the solar system. We are currently working on the Space Launch System, which is to take hu-kerbals beyond LKO since the last Apollo 17, and bring us to Ma-Duna, while doing ambitious missions such as the asteriod capture.

Currrent Projects

Space Launch System: 90%

Orion MCPV: Finished

SLS Block I: Finished

SLS Block II: WIP

Asteriod Capture Probe: Finished.

Project Constellation: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/27091-Project-Constellation-%28ARCHIVES%29

Space Launch System

Asteriod Capture

One of the most ambitous plans in the history of NASA, the Asteriod capture probe is currently on a mission to find, identify, and capture an asteriod and tow it into lunar orbit, were it will be visited by astronauts in 2021. The probe is one of the largest constructed in the histroy of NASA, is currently finding an asteriod to "capture".

Mods Used: Circular Panel Mod. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-18-2-ci...-solar-panel-2 (Its for 0.18.2, but works with 0.19.1. I resized it to 2.)

Space Launch System Block One

Liftoff!

Orbit/Transfer Stage

The Space Launch System is one of thelargest rockets built to date, and contains tons for fuel for transfers and such. The rocket has been tested in a manned lunar flyby, and is very very nice for missions beyond LKO.

Mods Used: Jool V Launcher by Bobcat. Its for 0.18, works for 0.19.

Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle

Launched on an SLS Block I, this craft is the successor to the STS system, and is the only surviving part of Constellation. Man-rated, and Jeb proof.

Do you need an Ares I? I made a good one if you want it.

I possibly could use one, but I will be modifying the BACC booster to make sure it can acutally GET into orbit.

[Giggleplex777]

How's this?

I uses clipped BACC boosters to get the second stage to 16 km or so.

I'll be updating its LES.

Edit: New version:

Now do Ares 2

[Daze]

Now do Ares 2

Maybe do you mean Ares IV or V (or also the SLS Block II) ?

[NASAFanboy]

Got around to building the Ares. It looks ugly. I will change it tommorrow, and get a download up pretty soon.

[NASAFanboy]

By the way, the decoulpers that hide the service module are fairings, and you will see a lot of heat at 13000 meters at the top.

You must decouple the decouplers one by one, from the bottom.

BTW, giggleplex, where did you see the rescale factor for the booster?

Just throwing this out there, but wasn't the Altair designed to take 4 crew members down?

If so, might I suggest using this mod? It makes the Hitchhiker a command pod and has an IVA allowing 4 crew members(although 1 and 4 are in the same seat...) It would require a fair amount of tweaking the ascent module, so... Not sure it's worth the effort, just throwing that out there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, isin't that supposed to be "National Aeronautics and Space Administration"?

Keeps the name smaller so it can fit as a title.

[NASAFanboy]

Bump. Sort of depressing on how noone replies with a an actual review......

Downloads are going to be up soon

[Giggleplex777]

I see you took some inspiration from my Ares I.

Does the escape tower work? Mine does.

[NASAFanboy]

Ares I has been finished.

[The Jedi Master]

I'll work as another test pilot.

[NASAFanboy]

Great news! Ares I is up and ready for launch, comes with 90-day warranty!*

*Warranty is anulled and voided if Jebediah is put at the controls.

[NASAFanboy]

The Mars Transfer Vehicles are finished! Yay!

[Whirligig Girl]

Ooops, I guess which ever one launches the altair lander, I assumed it was the Ares II.

I'm working on the Ares V, but KSP will not cooperate with the .cfg edits.

I'm working on the Ares V, but KSP will not cooperate with the .cfg edits.

Apparently (haven't tried yet myself) you can clip SRB's into each other and they still work. Just in case the edit you want to do is related to getting a good five segment SRB. You know how to clip parts by bringing up the dev tools, right? (ALT+F12)

Rune. Did I guess right?

Hi,

I think we both have been make something similar, I made a Orion and an Altair too

[NASAFanboy]

The LES works much better than expected.

[Giggleplex777]

How much thrust does it have? I'm guessing that you changed its config file.

[NASAFanboy]

1st stage can boosr you to around 80000m, and 2nd stage can get you into a massive orbit.

I was asking about the LES.
