[0.22]copenhagen sub-orbitals 'TYCHO BRATHE' now released!

[tjitte]

a few days ago, I saw a video on youtube about building amature, suborbital rockets. it was abaut the guy's from denmark, you migt have heart of them, called copenhagen sub-orbitals. what i saw looked pretty 'kerbal'; their first idea was to put a standing man in a narrow, long capsule as seen below:

I'ts 0.625 meters in diameter and abaut 3 meters long, 3.5m if you include the aerospike.

the capsule is almost done and ready for release, jut fixing some small issus

nvm, all things are working fine and the thing is now available on spaceport!

Aerospike.

[Torminator]

That is about the worst/most Jeb idea I've ever seen.

Your model looks great, though. Love the shaders you used to render.

[Nazari1382]

I actually have one of these on spaceport, right here: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/copenhagen-suborbitals-tycho-brahe/

It is a simple capsule to make if you are new to ksp modding, but doesn't serve much purpose besides being a light one-kerbal container. There is also a copenhagen suborbitals mod with more parts by another modder. You should try making the Tycho Deep Space.

[tjitte]

haha sorry I din't see that

looks great tough, I'm only missing an interior...

also you should know this is not my first mod, I just havent done any since 2012 and only done 2 small simple mods. with this one i hope to create a much more detailed mod, so i hope you don't mid that I continu this project

[Nazari1382]

Not at all, looking forward to your work!

If you could figure out how to use sfr's plugin, it may be possible to have the Kerbalnaut viewable through the dome from the outside.

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

Let me know if you need any information and/or pictures of specific parts.

could you send me a link to it? that would be great

woow I din't know you were playing ksp :0 anyway if you guy's could get more detiled pictures from the inside, i would love your project even more

Cool parts, reminds me of a one manned space submarine hehe.

Yes his plugin is awesome, in unity make a cube or cylinder where you want the view to be able, then rename it to one of these:

"WindGlass"

"SideGlass"

"UpGlass"

Then in your part.cfg

MODULE

{

name = sfrInternal

}

Also you can setup an hatch from his plugin in unity, where DoorAxle should be the name of your hatch obecjt in unity

doorTransformName = DoorAxle

openAngle = 145

. Sorry if its confusing but its easier then it sounds

There isnt too much to see on the inside if you mean the cockpit itself.

Kristian has some pictures on this blog. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/11/diy-space-low-tech-standard-solutions/#more-85545

And a couple of his drawings. http://issuu.com/copsub/docs/cs_sketchbook01/94?e=0

In the other end(the white one) with the parachute, there are some sequencers(small silver boxes), and a bits of wiring.

The side of the capsule. With wire for the parachute system.

You might want to scale it with the Heat 1X which is in my pack. I meant to do this months ago but never got around to it . . . Nice model though!

[mushroomman]

I just noticed that it kind of looks like a pillcam

Still it has to be one of the most insane and awesome rocket designs out there.

[tjitte]

Thanks! these pictures realy helped that picture of the inside of the capsule in the blog helped aswel. you are right, these nothing in there, but i just needed to know what color and texture i ahould make. also this gave me some insight on the seat.

I'm now making the parachutes, if anynone knows how to animate them and set them up in unity, please let me know

[tjitte]

Here's a litle upday for today:

I added some details and chanced the chair acording to to pictures. i also tryed modeling some parachutes, but i think i finish them when i know how they work in unity

[Captain Sierra]

This is the most downright nuts thing I have ever seen. Brilliant piece of engineering but there is a market of people who want to be sealed inside a tiny capsule and launched to the edge of space and back?

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

We dont seek a market, we are not a company trying to earn money.

Looks amazing. There was only 1 main chute, and a drouge as far as I remember.

If you at a later time could do the HEAT 1600, that would be cool.

[Captain Sierra]

We dont seek a market, we are not a company trying to earn money.

That does not change the fact that yall ofer there at CSO are insane. Brilliant, but insane. I wonder what the practical use of this as some form of escape/return capsule would be? Better than nothing if you're stuck on a de-orbiting space station

Still very cool, still looks very scary.

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

Not more insane than a Mercury-Redstone, which is what we actually are going for in style, size, and look-a-like. Would you call NASA insane?

[tjitte]

are you sure it are only 2 parachutes? your wesite say's this:

PARACHUTES

Parachutes are a vital component to ensure a safe spacecraft impact on water. The spacecraft holds 4 parachutes: a 5 sqm powerfull drogue for the first initial aero braking, and three 45 sqm main parachtues for the final descent.

In 2010 we decided to produce our own cross type parachutes. Cross parachutes are one of the most simple parachute types, easy to produce, providing soft deployment and stable operation. The parachutes are still undergoing development.

also this video show 3 parasutes poping out:

ps evrybody who launches maned rockets to space is insane, awesome-ish insane

[Copenhagen_Suborbitals]

You are correct. I Didnt recall correctly. Im sad to say we never saw them deploy during the 2011 mission.

[tjitte]

it's indeed sad that the parachute din't delpoy corectly...

anyway, I nowUV unwraped the model and begining to inport the model to unity and make textures for them

[CERVERUS]

You continue with HEAT 1600,Tycho Deep Space,Tycho Deep Space II etc?

Greetings to you tjitte!

Greetings to Copenhagen Suborbitals,the amazing team from Denmark!

[tjitte]

yea I think I would make moremods from copenhagen suborbitals, begining with the deepspaceII. but first wil make the heat 1x rocket

here is an update on tycho brahe:
