DunaRocketeer Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Couldn't sleep last night, and naturally was thinking about my current flight, and also thought it was a good idea to make a Mission Report on its current progress: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFarnsworth Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I built the lowest tech spaceplane that I could. Note that I don't have smaller decouplers, or docking ports, or parts for building a small enough satellite yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat2ch Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) It's of no use, I have to make the best out of my slideshow called Duna mission. Watch the fire aerobrake. You can dip down to 20 km without a problem and usually this should slow you down enough to make an orbit.

micr0wave Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Took some time but now i have finally a setup (modwise) that runs nice and also found some motivation to play some KSP. Here's last days 'work' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think dual-rotor designs would need a tail boom? Or does firespitter not allow for counter-rotating parts? Meanwhile, I crashed into a crashed vessel...

WWEdeadman Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Test landed a supposed-to-be-manned supposed-to-be-rover on Eve. Front wheels burned up, back set of heat shields didn't detach and I landed it in water. Also, this was a "surface outpost" contract, and it didn't count the "on wheels" part as fulfilled. Rare wheels where still in tact, so yeah... (I'm playing on 1.0.4, so I don't know if the contract still wouldn't trigger in 1.0.5, nor whether this would sink (it probably would)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workable Goblin Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I finally started the RSS/RP-0 campaign I badly wanted to do after seeing Scott Manley's latest series on it. It took a week or so of fiddling around with mod installations and auto pruner and etc. etc., but I finally set it up to be relatively stable (it only crashes every four or five scene transitions!) and fairly quick-loading yesterday. So, naturally, today I was mostly playing that. I built airplanes. A lot of airplanes. Big airplanes (well, as big as they would let me), small airplanes, fast airplanes (840 m/s! Any faster and the engines would explode. Literally, they're running at 795 K and have a max temperature of 800 K), slow airplanes (DNE is about 200 m/s or so...), every kind of airplane. I was particularly proud of the two airplanes I built using Derwent Vs and no other powerplant that could exceed the speed of sound in level flight. In reality, that wasn't really achieved with jet airplanes until considerably more sophisticated and powerful engines were available. Another one I'm proud of is the ~5,000 km range drone that can cruise at Mach 2.8 at 25,000 meters altitude, a bit like the Lockheed D-21. Only mine, well, works, and it uses Avons instead of ramjets (which I haven't actually unlocked yet). I'm thinking of writing a kOS program for it to automatically do a surveillance run of the biomes easily available from Satish Dhawan (where I decided to have my base), then return to base. That would be tricky but doable, I think. So far, I haven't actually launched any rockets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does firespitter not allow for counter-rotating parts? Not really that technical, just trying out what balances and fly's. lots of things to tweak.... Flying and landing better now, hover works great...so, formed the Low and Slow squad..with a new medium size config. Just needs a new paint job...

FungusForge Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Haven't even reached the -1k mark and the seafloor is already screwing with me. Bumped into the seafloor believe it or not. Jondin planting a flag in what I believe to be one of the eyes of the smiley face. An image of the sub resting on the seafloor at night. Just an idea of how much more terrifying the dive could've been. Raising the sub. Jondin had difficulty getting back into the sub, so I just tied a cable to him. The Sub floating gently on the surface at long last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 100 tons left after harvesting. Other 500+ tons is from overengeneered and tweakscaled mining complex (3.75m nukes, 10m fuel tank, etc).
