JordanCox2 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 What\'s the Spaceplane Aurora going to look like?I haven\'t decided just yet, but I\'ve narrowed my choices down to Boeing\'s X-37 or SpaceDev\'s Dream Chaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venku122 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I haven\'t decided just yet, but I\'ve narrowed my choices down to Boeing\'s X-37 or SpaceDev\'s Dream Chaser.Will the wings be separate to provide lift or will it be a single part?I like the dream chaser since it has a vertical stabilizer which would make flying it a lot easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanCox2 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Will the wings be separate to provide lift or will it be a single part?If all goes according to plan, it will be composed of several parts... A command module, RCS fuel tanks and blocks for thrust, wings for lift during re-entry, etc. This is going to be my biggest project yet, and I hope to get started after the Intrepid V is finished.

Maybe in the nose. Also will the wings have separate control surfaces built in like nova\'s winglets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I didn\'t list before was included in 'etc.' When it\'s finished, it will include everything you need to have a fully functioning spaceplane. And yes, the wings will have their own control surfaces, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C7 had made one but it got lost in a file crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNSP Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Can\'t wait for the Atlas V, but one thing, I don\'t know if it\'s just me, but the SLS was impossible to control. I couldn\'t get it into an orbit let alone to the moon, it always goes one way and I can\'t control it. Any thoughts?i also had same problem with srs...but with rsc on you can manually control it...once in orbit its easy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanCox2 Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Atlas V 411.Already tried... Ain\'t happening... That is, unless you want death and destruction! In that case, the 411 setup is perfect for a quick and timely death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanCox2 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 With the addition of a 1.25m to 1.00m interstage and 1.50m payload fairings, the Intrepid V can be configured like an Atlas V 400 series rocket as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanCox2 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Could you model an engine that has an srb attached to it so we could build an atlas v 411is without the balancing issuesWhile that would solve the stabilization issue, you wouldn\'t be able to jettison the SRB. I don\'t know about you, but the 411 configuration looks odd enough as it is... We don\'t need an SRB tagging along until MECO. I\'m working on a few solutions, but I won\'t let this issue push back the release date. I\'ll work to get it fixed in a later update. Until then, just use KSP\'s available symmetry options.will the payload fairings have a rounded nose cone too or are you only making the regular cone shaped nose?You will have both. Option A (as seen above) will make the Intrepid V look like an Atlas V 400 series rocket, and Option B (as seen on pages 1 & 11) will make it look like an Atlas V 500 series rocket.

ultrasquid Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Looking great...if ksp ever comes out with another planet like mars you will have to make the rover curiosity for the atlas V that would be great...KSP will have to enable functional rolling wheels for that, rather than the goofy skid-nubs that we have now.

JordanCox2 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey everyone!Version 1.3 has just been released! It includes everything you need to build an Intrepid V 400/500 Series rocket. The handling is pretty much the same as the Intrepid II. Just make sure to keep S.A.S. activated the entire time. If you find any problems, just let me know! I hope all of you enjoy the Intrepid V! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
