Draco T stand-up guy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I killed Jebidiah - again But it was glorious while it lasted The cmd module disintegrated when I activated the two tr18 radial decouplers. It was going good up to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjarf Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) I sent the first 3 crewmembers to my newly built Mun base, and pulled off my first surface docking during landing. It was more difficult than I imagined, and I'm now even more impressed by SpaceX landing their booster on the seaplatform. Space veteran Jebediah Kerman also came for a visit to see how the new recruits are settling in at the base. The base isn't quite finished yet, it needs a storage module for fuel (gonna store any ore in the mining truck I'm designing), a comm array and also a cooling rig and more solar panels to run the ore converter.

Hrv123 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 After zilion times finally fully working RO+RSS+other mods, and now after fixing x64 win for no more crashes all the time, enjoying in launching 800 tons rockets.

StrandedonEarth Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Launched a space station expansion with a crew return taxi. I love lifting such long payloads like this, replacing struts with docking ports (set to stage with the decouplers) that auto-connect on the pad. Very rigid. It was also fun to do a Shuttle-style launch, ramping up the LRBs to full thrust before firing the SRBs and releasing the launch clamps simultaneously. Also, the D.O.L.T. (Duna Orbiter Lander Tandem) arrived in the Duna system and completed the "Duna Flyby," "Explore Duna" and "Explore Ike" contracts, It used an experimental NERV engine to be tested in solar orbit, and tested again in Duna orbit. A very profitable mission! Last but not least, an un-named engineer posed with a mysterious craft on the Mun while trying to unlock its secrets Edited May 15, 2016 by StrandedonEarth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max_creative Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Landed on Minmus, got some ice cream for Val, and landed a +200 ton cruiser on the mun. (Don't ask.) Oh yeah, and Kerbin got hit by a class C asteroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_G Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Today, my Duna Trek mission came to a good end. All 7 kerbonauts returned safely to Kerbin, after exploring Duna and Ike. The main mission craft - Mission: bring crew, landers and all equipment to Duna and back home to Kerbin Rhino Konstellation Mk. II - Mission: Kerbaled Duna landing and surface exploration Mole science carrier - Mission: High orbit survey Solar Bird - Mission: High altitude atmosphere survey Oktopode lander & mobile habitat - Mission: Kerbaled Ike landing and surface exploration A detailed mission report with many more screenshots will follow SOON™ in a separate thread. [EDIT] - The mission report is available now. Please check my signature for the link. Edited May 19, 2016 by Frank_G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellblazer Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Time to build my ISS RSS: After about 20 launches I finally figured out the right RO engines and boosters to get the shuttle into a LEO. I managed a 400km circularized orbit while taking the max payload size (3m x 11m) at 20 tonnes (44000 lbs).

Mjarf Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Played around with rover designs today and somehow wound up making this thing... It's surprisingly stable and very fast, got it up to approx. 45 m/s. Edited May 15, 2016 by Mjarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicidejunkie Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Designed a portapotty to be constructed and deployed by my EL rover as it circumnavigates. Any stranded Kerbonauts will be able to sit and relieve themselves while awaiting rescue. Self-cleaning and replenishing with the greenhouse and drill, and doubles as a communications relay.

PointySideUp Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I had been launching like crazy for an upcoming Eve transfer window, and last night and today I completed most of the mission objectives. I launched (and refueled) a Science Smasher with a few ion scooters, a refueling ring station {and tanker drone}, and a @Rune Base In A Box (and an ore scanner probe). The Science Smasher dropped an ion scooter for a surface rescue, then "landed" successfully at Gilly to refuel and grab science. The Base In A Box landed safe enough in the microgravity using only my Nuke Tug Bus, but I'll need to revert and take the base pieces out and attach them one by one with a tug so they don't all float off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see my stuff making long distance trips. And with such a weak gravity, with patience, you should be able to put it together without any issues. Remember the rover has a six degrees of freedom monprop RCS! Rune. Gotta work on how I would drop it into Eve proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamax19 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I just tested my mod on mun after a good mun landing sadly missed the old mun base though I did manage to save munaly kerman after my pod crashed. Now for the forth landing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconiator Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Experimenting with a massive stock engine I made while simultaneously sending a massive lab to Minmus: it's 4 Mammoths clipped together with supports, so I call it the Stampede.

SSgt Baloo Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Today I tried my hand at making a workable seaplane. One that can take off from land, and alight on the water is easy. Getting back into the air from the water is harder. It took about 80 kn thrust (40 per engine) to get enough speed to unstick from the wet stuff.

Kertech Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Finally finished my first eve mission Firstly I got my Eve ascent vehicle (the Intrepid) into orbit Then the Hermes 2 with crew, cormorant lander and the Muse lander (the Cormorants in the fairing between the engines, it's only for eve descent). Then I got the Intrepid down onto eve Then I moved Jeb into the cormorant and released it from the Hermes 2 With Jeb down it was time to do science... Then short 5km run (took many a F9 to get close enough) to the intrepid Finally getting into orbit the intrepid capsule (which still requires life support) Rendezvous with the Hermes 2 And off to Gilly for a victory lap in the Muse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
