Kerbalized Rockets

[XSP-Xenon Space Programm]

??? because of WHAT (<- this is what i kall bat inglisch)

[Panichio]

Baikal done.

If anyone wants it, I can put the .craft file up. I absolutely love to open the payload fairings while flying vertically. It usually rips a wing or two off and you have to try and land it... (Although I haven\'t successfully done that yet).

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

Might as well redo the StratoLaunch System (got a working one now. Just needs more work on it )

Cool.

Any suggestions of rockets to do? I can\'t find any interesting ones...

Mercuries and Redstones might do. We have a Gemini capsule already

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

Rolling out some Titans. Feels good to be back 8)

Titan II (Thanks Tosh!)

Titan IIIC-MOL

Titan IV

Vega rocket ready for launch to LKO (Low Kerbin Orbit)

15 Seconds after lift-off

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

Got a copy of Vega also. Too bad we got no right-sized SRBs to do the job

[Alfastar]

And now I presents: The Thor-Agena-A (used in the years 1959-1960 for spy-sat launching)

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

Good to see someone who is definitely on par with my interests

I\'ve searched around the internet for more rocket designs. I saw 3 interesting ones and kerbalized two of them.

-Conestoga 1620 (a definitely Kerbal rocket from the 1990s)

I\'ve launched it by firing all the SRBs simultaneously, making me attain an abnormally high Ap, unknowingly that they should have been fired by batch (2-2-2-2 or 4-4). Also, the original has only 6 - I\'ve made it 8 for uniformity purposes.

-Scout (The first all-solid multistage rocket from the 1960s)

It\'s hilariously tall by kerbal standards, but very stable (thanks to 8 struts I\'ve put every stage). Too bad it handles poorly.

Y BURAN SO HARD TO KERBALISE

Y IT KEEP FALLING OVER

WHY

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

You mean the shuttle? You can\'t definitely kerbalize it.

Or Energia? 8)

The rocket.

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

Ahh yes. Pulling it out isn\'t actually easy.

You might as well kerbalize some other rockets out there

[mincespy]

In the process of kerbalising the Sänger...

Brother....

This was my definitely inferior attempt, made way back when 0.9 was current (notice the absence of the air pressure gauge, and the palm trees.)

It flew decently, more or less following the original\'s profile, but during first stage boost it was in constant danger of shaking itself apart, due to the usual wonky behaviour of mod decouplers (they seem to be very hard to get right).

The Conestoga family is VERY interesting, and I mantain that Squad should include an assortment of small SRBs tuned for making designs like that possible; to be used for satellite launch in the very early phase of the campaign.

(I would like the campaign to start from Sputnik and Vanguard, and manned spaceflight to be attained after this introductory phase, though it would be brief)

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

oh. didn\'t knew that. And it looks much closer to the original

Anyway, I\'ve finally revamped my Vega after watching the livestream.

I\'ve now used CaptainSlug\'s PLF Set for half-sized fairings, and changed the entire last stage. It flies well, except for minor wobbles on the first stage that requires constant watching.

Here\'s the AVUM orbital stage (which is the only liquid stage on the original):

Could\'ve modded myself a small 2m tank, but that would be violating the rules

[mincespy]

Top stage of the Sänger done.

Although, maybe it isn\'t perfect that the top stage can reach orbit all by itself. Maybe I should swap one of the fuel tanks from RCS fuel.

[Alfastar]

Who needs a orbital rocket to Kerbalized it? I Kerbalized a ICBM, the R-26!!!!

Lift-off for a ICBM test

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

Redone my Ares I replica. Now uses a 1.75m tank on the second stage instead of 2m to make the bulge less obvious.

[Alfastar]

Time for a new rocket to kerbalized it: Kosmos-1

(launch was in darkness because secret payload)

[Guest Flixxbeatz]

Pro-tip: fasten the first stage LFE with struts to alleviate pad wobliness.

Anyway, because the UR series filled my mind with lots of f***, I decided to go and kerbalize other rocket.

Presenting: Ariane 5

Because of the available parts, I have no choice, but to upsize it. Probably the second biggest working rocket I\'ve made (the biggest is the Bahamut)

There\'s a major flaw in that rocket: under-powered first stage engine. To compensate, I have no choice, but to power the engine up (increase its thrust, and fuel consumption also).

[Alfastar]

Lets kerbalized the Energia-M (I try it so realistic as I can on KSP) Payload: Unmanned munnar Lander impacter.

[Guest]

Using plenty of mods (no dedicated parts pack though) I\'ve made a pretty accurate and perfectly usable Saturn V.

Not only does it look like Saturn V, it\'s also very flyable and capable of getting to the Mun.

Here is the screenshot of the 3rd stage or Saturn S-N. Basically a Saturn V with two NERVA engines. This thing can not only get to orbit, it can fly to the Mun and back, then deorbit and still have fuel left in it\'s 3rd stage. No lander yet, because it\'s the demo version of KSP.
