Whats the weather like on Eloo?

[Omicron314]

Omicron314, that video annoyed me. It sounds to my extremely non-expert ear that they're using a very poor choice of terms, since the guy comes right and says that temperatures CAN NOT hit or go below zero Kelvin. I think a much better term would be reverse temperature or bizarro temperature.

Well, I can't really say; I am no expert either. But having watched those videos, I agree: they are hardly temperatures anymore. They only call it 'hotter' and 'colder' because of a few similar characteristics. Perhaps the term 'imaginary temperature' is more fitting?

This statement contradicts boffinbox's so I question whether or not this is sarcasm?

boffinbox and brotoro are both right (sort of). Landing on Eve is easy as pie, just throw a few parachutes on it and it will be fine (kinda like landing on Kerbin, actually), Getting back, however, is a pain in the rocket nozzle. You need approximately twice as much rocket as you would need to lift off from Kerbin, plus, you have to get it to and landed on Eve first. (whereas kerbin liftoffs are the beginning of the mission.)

This is an unmanned rover mission. I just needed to know what was needed to land on the surface of Eve and explore. Thanks for the answer

well, -94°K is simply not possible (except maybe for kerbals ) - as you can't go under 0°K in real life (0°K is the 'Absolute zero' ) - in reverse, we cannot determine the absolute hot with certitude there are only theories -anyway, the highest temperature should have been during the big bang (no jeb, your rockets experiments does not yet reach this kind of big bang )

I've landed rovers onto Eve with just parachutes. Those small stock rover wheels are a bit fragile, so if you can, use the medium wheels.

Boffinbox's post appears to be talking about landing on Eeloo.

I was entirely serious about landing on Eve. Only parachutes are needed. Be sure the parachutes are connected to the main framework of the lander, or the sharp deceleration when they open fully could pull apart a heavy vehicle.

This is my Eve rover. It lands using four parachutes. It can be used manned or unmanned.

yeah sorry i made myself sound confusing because i always opt to return kerbals. it's stuck in my head. sure you can easily land on eve, but you are not going home unless you are super-prepared

Step one complete. Landed a rover next to the Gilly mission crashsite. Ok, it was probably more like 200km away, but twas just a short afternoon drive to the pod. Now all I need to do is land the return ship on some high ground and drive over there.

Im using the tiny wheels but shouldnt 5 parachutes be enough to ease it down? How thinks the atmosphere?

The design Ive got now the rover gets touched down going about 2.3 m/s on Kerbin. Because of the increased gravity of Eve will it be faster?

It's an unmanned simplistic super tiny rover. It doesnt need to come back and Id prefer if it didnt haha

[Flixxbeatz]

What about weather forecasts at Moho?

Well the gravity on Eve is a little less than 2 times stronger, but the atmo is 5 times thicker, so it should touch down slower, at least I think, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[RocketTurtle]

Here.

[Odo]

Bwahahaha! make one for duna!

[Tw1]

This must be from when Moho still had atmosphere.

[Flixxbeatz]

This must be from when Moho still had atmosphere.

Needs more temperature and less clouds

[ThePyrateCaptain]

Since there is no weather in the game, I would say non existent.

[RocketTurtle]

Yeah, I forgot to cut the clouds, I'll fix that later...

[Odo]

Landed my first Eve Rover! This is the only other planet Ive been to, other then Duna and Kerbin

This was my try at a very minimalistic rover, hence the 3 wheels, and really barebones set up.

Even though it looks unstable, I was able to do hard turns at 10 m/s at kerbin (its max speed without a hill) without flipping, and here on Eve it is pretty much impossible to flip it due to the very high gravity, so I have turned it going a solid 18 m/s and it didnt flip!

The fastest Ive gotten this little rover is 25 m/s, any fast then that and its front wheels blow out

[Tommygun]

He's so tiny.

Congratulations, nice teeny weeny rover too.

Thanks! His name is Tommy. lol not really hahah
