Guest Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Have you thought of also making Tsylkon and Dnepr carrier rockets? They're all derived from R-36 variants, so you should only need to make a few more parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themorris Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Have you thought of also making Tsylkon and Dnepr carrier rockets? They're all derived from R-36 variants, so you should only need to make a few more parts.Perhaps...my first aim is to finish the ss-18 to get a workflow, so I can create a rocket silo for it. The rest depends on my mood and my free time.But right now I have a bit of freetime and continue modeling the first rocket. I was unable to find pictures of the engine of the second stage, so I had to improvise.I also couldn't find any blueprints of the warhead.WIP:greetingsThemorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themorris Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 So the second stage has two engines?Did you find something about the warhead?greetzTHemorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sierra Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I dug this up on the warhead, not much but something. Apparently it used a very compound warhead with up to 10 smallish nuclear warheads and an assortment of dummy warheads.Designated 15F143U, the warhead section of the R-36M missile featured its own propulsion system and could carry three different types of reentry vehicles, RVs. A multi-warhead version of the warhead carried a cluster of ten reentry vehicles in two configurations.Each reentry vehicle carrying nuclear charge was equipped with its own solid-propellant engine developed at NPO Altai and designated 15D161 and 15D221.The R-36M was also designed to carry a single warhead designated 15F141, apparently the most destructive warhead in the Soviet arsenal.In all configurations, the missile carried an assortment of dummy warheads, along with live charges. Both, live and dummy warheads, were equipped with their own solid-propellant motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 There isn't gonna be much info on the warhead, R-36 has been only recently decommissioned. Details might still be classified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themorris Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yes, this might be the problem here. But if we don't know how it really looks like, we don't notice, if it's a bit wrong:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themorris Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I found something about the start sequence:I also think I found something about the second stage:And the warhead/the fairings: Edited August 22, 2013 by Themorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You might want to check the data on Tsyklon-2 and Dnepr LVs. They're both derived from the R-36 and share a lot of components. I believe they're also commercially available, meaning they're less likely to be classified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themorris Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 @Dragon01 I think I will do so, but tomorrow.for now i finished the raw modeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floki Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) It's armament varied depending on the model. I know one had 10 MIRVs (I crap myself thinking about it) and another that just had a large (really excessive) fusion warhead. From my previous research, I know that the MIRVs held a lot of other thing besides the nukes like countermeasures (i.e. chaff, guidance computers, thrusters, etc.) and some may even be decoys.I couldn't find much on the second stage engine besides what I already posted and some info that isn't very useful in KSP. I'll see if I can find anything else, just don't rely on me.Edit: More info.http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/russia/icbm/r-36.htmhttp://www.russianspaceweb.com/r36.html Edited August 22, 2013 by Floki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themorris Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Hi,I've startet working on the starting procedure of the R-36M. It's now like the real one. It gets pushed up, fires the kickstage away and ignites the main engine.Here are some pictures:I've also fixed the inverted controls of the engine.Textures are coming as soon as I got the whole missile imported and working.greetingsThemorris Edited August 26, 2013 by Themorris type error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found user guides for other launch vehicles just as detailed, but nothing as impressive as this. Also, that thing is looking good, can't wait to see the final product.

Themorris Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 What ICBM do you have planned after the R-36?I thought of the Minuteman III.After that, I think I will do some older mrbm's or icbms, like the thor or the redstone rocket.CheersThemorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themorris Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just finished texturing the main fueltank:The first two stage are working so far, but I think I have to do it with a single warhead, the other ones are useless as long as you can't control all at the same time.

Themorris Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 It's done...The whole thing is imported and WORKING!Now comes texturing and balancing.I think I publish the untextured parts with a craft file, so you can test it and report me bugs(if there are some)You'll find it in the OPCheers Themorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerbal01 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Can you tell us which part uses MJ so we can remove that part in its .cfg? I don't really want to use MJ. Can you put a .zip archive file up too? I don't really want to take the time to convert it to .zip myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to take the time to convert it to .zip myself.I know that there are more people out there who won't use mechjeb, so I will upload a version without.The part, that is using mechjeb is ss18_reentry_vehicle_guidance.cheersThemorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
