Leberschnitzel Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Finished my new spacestation and transfered the additional fuel tank from the old one to the new one:then proceded to force the old one out of orbit with the rescue capsul for the crew and watered the rescue capsul and safely destroying the old station. It was a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrianCEV Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Today i orbited a stock-based CSM with my flag on it,but i didn't make it.Here's a few picsIn orbit before final Deployment:After Deployment:Mods:http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/sdhi-service-module-system/(the service module,docking port,heat shield,fairings,fairing base,and abort cover),http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/30472-0-21-x-KSPX-Kerbal-Stock-Part-eXpansion-mod-reposted-v0-2-3(abort tower)http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/44135-0-21-x-Universe-Replacer-v4-0/page39?p=577914#post577914(clouds on kerbin) Edited October 12, 2013 by OrianCEV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyne Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I started Kethane scanning on Kerbin and began preparations to do some test-landings for large Kethane bases on Kerbin. Basically a lot of practice, trying to wean myself off of using Mechjeb entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maccollo Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Designed a single launch to Tylo rocket with a 3 man crew. There's no annoying asparagus nonsense in this thing. This is good old fashioned serial staging!I call it Tylo 5, cuz I thought it kind of resembles the saturn 5... Maybe not that much, but a little.Only tested it to orbit so far, but my calculations (eyeballed guesstimates) show that it has enough delta V to complete the task.

jue623 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 First trip to Minmus turned out to be a survival mission, thanks to Bill "The Idiot" Kerman. I said "Let go", not "Throw away the command capsule"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumboman Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Finally managed this:Sadly, failed attempts cost the lives of Jebediah and Bill.But at least Bob now has his little base with crew and view on Kerbin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alephzorg Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Today I landed my second base on the Mun, near an Arch, and docked my Mun Exploration Rover that found it. A 50km drive from the first base.And I landed my first automated rover on Moho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adge Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Unsuccessfully attempted to land on Mun, resulting in the death of Samton Kerbin.Successfully landed on the surface of the Mun with Munar Mk 2, in a Samton Crater. However, used up too much juice landing and now the lander & Kerbonaut are stranded on the Mun.Unsuccessfully attempted to land the main ship in an attempt to rescue the stranded Kerbal. Touched down just fine, but the main ship wasn't designed from landing and thus had no landing gear. My heart was in my throat as it toppled and swayed gently on the engine before falling gracefully to the Munar surface, causing the command module to become detached from the main part of the vessel. So far, Mun has cost 1 Kerbonaut's life, and has stranded 3 others.Bill Kerbin is currently solo-flying a rescue mission in an attempt to bring the 3 stranded Kerbonauts back to Kerbin safely.In the words of Gene Kranz: failure is not an option, people!

Mr_Brain Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I completed my first rendezvous with docking (all manually, of course). I know, I'm a n00b even though I've been playing for over a year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorbane Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 How do you get 4 Kerbonauts out of orbit with only a 3 man pod (and KAS)? Like thisHang on Rayrim!erm... oops... eh he's got a komex suit he'll be fine.Looks happy to be going homeannnd another oops moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarcurado Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Tried to make a spaceplane that is launched from a big airplane, all in Lack Luster Labs parts and stock.Honestly, making the "big airplane" was easier than making the small spaceplane (it is space only and atmo-gliding though) The problem is that I begun making the spaceplane before the launcher...Also, a difficulty I met was: the time I ejected the spaceplane, it used to crash at the airplane and spin (because of engine placement, it was slightly up instead of in the middle of it), so I fixed it. But, after fixing, I couldn't take off anymore, for some reason, it just rolled right, even though the landing gear was perfectly vertical.So now I just use the spaceplane for short atmospheric flight, it actually works, taking off and manouvering perfectly.I also made a Tow + Refuel Truck, with LLL, KAS and infernal robotics.The current version is slightly different from the picture, it has a generator so it doesn't have such energy problems and also some other little things.It was easy to make and every problem I came up in the making was easily corrected.

joethebeast22 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 1st successful return from the mun with all hands present and accounted for upon landing back at kerbin, that capsule was doing about 3,000 M/S upon reentry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaverickSawyer Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Tried to do a tethered pseudogravity ship (ship-cable-ship, all spinning madly). Wound up learning that it was wise to put a breakaway decoupler between the winch and the capsule... and that it was a good thing I used the old (but still useable) ST Escape Pod as my capsule. The craft started to tumble, and all attempts to regain control simply added tot he problem. SO, I cut my losses, ejected the winch... and watched it come howling back around and slam into my Service Module, obliterating the fuel tank.Still managed to MANUALLY deorbit and land some 15 km off the coast of the Space Center. Not bad work, and I learned a valuable lesson about the next step of my project: Going bigger with a pair of Crew Tanks. Let's just say that I'm going to be adding two cables per crew tank, not the wimpy single cable I used today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonegalen Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Worked on getting a functional Crew Transfer Vehicle with my standard Delta II/IV/IV Heavy-inspired lifter family. The single core IV worked great. This is the II.Then I stuck my X-19 Pterodactyl on a vertical launch stack because, why not? It sure as heck wasn't making it to orbit on it's own.Javascript is disabled. View full albumI think I hate the Pterodactyl.

capi3101 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Did some boilerplate tests of my boosters for the Constellation Space Program challenge. I can report that the designs worked as intended (though getting the strutting down on the SRBs was quite a challenge) and I should be officially joining the challenge in the very near future. Today I'll be working on this notion of a "pressurized rover" the challenge calls for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpeach Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I tried to land my space shuttle at night, I was able to do that before..I have failed this time, the kerbal is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
