How's it goin'?

I'm working on Voskhod's IVA. Vostok's looks normal in unity even with new part tools (((

This is quite peculiar.

[Guest]

Did you try re-exporting the Vostok IVA? Maybe if it looks right, then it will work right when converted with the new part tools.

He does have a good point.

But when you are done withe the Voskhod IVA, I suggest making a Voskhod 1 pod and IVA. If not, then I suggest the R7 Family or the first versions of the Soyuz (i.e. the 7K-OK, 7K-OKS, or the 7K-T.)

I think the 7k-ok is good enough, and MrTheBull already said he would make a rocket for the Voskhod which is an r7 rocket (unless you're talking about early rockets such as the Sputnik launch vehicles). Voskhod 1 pod and IVA aren't that different, only there is no EVA tunnel and three seats instead of two. If he makes just a Voskhod 2 IVA I would be fine. I would personally like to see a shenzhou in the future.

Err, the "Sputnik launch vehicle" was *actually* the R-7, just without a warhead. The later ones were R-7-deriveds with upper stages.

So was the voskhod one.

[NathanKell]

Sorry, the Voskhod one was what? R-7-based? Yes. (Derived from Vostok/Luna 8K72 with more powerful upper stage and updated engines. Usually classed as 11A57.) An unmodified R-7? No.

[Pockrtplanesairways]

Still, I'd like a Soyuz 7K-OK. I mean, it did come next. It did the first docking between two manned spacecraft.

EDIT: Also, when do you think the Voskhod IVA will be out?

Yeah that's what I meant I just didn't word my post correctly and I wasn't clear enough :/ oh well.

[NathanKell]

mahboi818: ah,, gotcha. :]

Pockrtplanesairways: In the list of things, ranked by how unknown they are, I think "Pockrtplanesairways wants that Soyuz" may rank below even "water is wet"

I agree with you, but the lunokhod wasn't that well known either, and now there's a mod of that. So a Soyuz 7k might just be possible...

Yes. I want the Old Soyuz 7K models

[mahboi818]

Yes. I want the Old Soyuz 7K models

Maybe soon MrTheBull will actually consider it, if not, Bobcat might decide to make it.

[Pockrtplanesairways]

Nope. Bobcat said no. He is not making any more soyuz models at least for a loooooong time.

So, how's dat IVA dere?

You gotta give him some time. IVA's take a while (at least I think they do). And I'm sure he's busy with other things as well.

[Pockrtplanesairways]

He sure doesn't wanna forget this:

Globus.

And it shouldn't take too long. He already has a baseline (Vostok IVA). And you should also test the Vostok IVA exported from the new part tools.

some pictures of what I'm currently doing

[mahboi818]

Looks great! And it looks like you have Kerbin in your desktop background

Also I read that the Voskhod airlock was jettisoned after use. Are you going to make that a feature?

Cool! When do you think it will be released? I'm anticipating the moment it comes out!

Happy easter! How's the progress?

Edited April 25, 2014 by sal_vager

[MrTheBull]

Work in progress...

[Pockrtplanesairways]

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh. When do you estimate it to come out? Oh, and when you choose to update the Vostok, make it less brown/tan more grey for the Block E and the capsule and the fairings too.

[Guest]

I've just found something out about Vostok upper stage. It turns out the small nozzles extending from the sides are vernier rockets, not ullage motors as I thought before. Ullage motors were introduced in Molniya, Vostok (and Luna) both used hot start technique, and had four small verniers for attitude control.

[mahboi818]

I agree with that. The capsule should also be more spherical, like Voskhod.

[Pockrtplanesairways]

Did Molniya get released finnaly ?

Wait, you were working on a Molniya? Woot!

Oh, and yeah, this link:http://danielmarin.naukas.com/2011/03/24/los-mitos-de-la-soyuz-1/ has a lot of pictures of the 7K-OK.
