what speed is safe for the tansmitter?

[FITorion]

I've got a probe falling into Jool now... how slow does it have to get before I can safely open the transmitter? It's the second transmitter... radial one...

please someone check or if you know say.

[FITorion]

well... I just waited for my chute to fully open...

1.7m/s is safe.

Then my chute came off and I explodes 250m below Jool.

I've gotten a test flight in lower Kerbin atmosphere up to 350m/s with no breakage of the Comms DTS-M1.

Did a re-entry to Kerbin with the transmitter out at about 3500 m/s. No damage to the transmitter.

Make sure you're not coming in warped, remember KSP has issues with warp < 500m

Same here. It is indestructible.

funny you should mention that... I did a ballistic flight to do my reentry test. Straight up to past Minmus orbit... almost Kerbin escape. Then back down again. No orbit. Just a straight fall back to Kerbin. I had full time warp on expecting it to kick me back to 1x once I got to 70Km... Nope. I went into Kerbin and back out of Kerbin with no collision and no time warp drop.

I had to do the test over because the second hop encountered the Mun on the way back down...

I encountered this bug several times.

When the time-warp level is high enough, there is a high propability that you will fly straight through a planet instead of colliding.

Danny vid which includes the fly through the planet bug.
