Guest Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) This is a building block for my mining kit. A surface exploration drone bike, used to spot precisely which placement is the best for mining.38 parts complete, It's powered by a 48-7s and can go up to 120m/s on Duna's hills Edited May 26, 2015 by RevanCorana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 LF only SSTO +1. Do some aerospiky winged goodness, that should actually work quite well this version. Maybe even HTOL? I've wanted to do it myself, but you know, full plate and all that.Rune. Like the drawings in the sci-fi of the olden days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thick atmosphere drag would reduce the range dramatically. Edited May 26, 2015 by RevanCorana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 What's a HTOL?Horizontal Take-Off and Landing. The opposite of VTOL. But I think I read you wrong, I thought you said LFO-only SSTO.Rune. Hence why my post makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why my post makes no sense. Hmmm, I'm guessing most SSTOs nowadays just arrive empty in orbit and have to get with a fuel station or a tanker to get into any interplanetary mission, yes? Hence why an LF only SSTO is quite the go, all the LF space you need for efficient LV-Ns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketPilot573 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I made a cargo door because I didn't like leaving a giant hole in the floor. Takes up some extra room, but what am I going to put in there anyways? A rover? The ship is on wheels!Added some decoration, and then got to work on the jet boosters. This ship can't make it to orbit on it's own due to lack of thrust (sea level), but maybe if the jets can lift it to around 15 km altitude. And yes, that is 36 turbojets (the boosters cost 300k), which produce an amazing stationary thrust of 1.000001 TwR (6480 Kn).

Mesklin Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 My work is continuing for new unlimited range SSTO "Rolling stone" (with field refueling system on board), time for Dune landing testing. It was very big surprise for me: horizontal landing on Dune is very easy now, 3 times from 4 my tries were successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
