Thank you!, I hope your Saturn fly on my J-2 in a speedy time =)

Good, meanwhile I achieved my first orbit (It was not easy ;). But for some reason I'm not getting any torque with the this pod. So I'm unable to make a flyby to the moon because I cannot orient towards the maneuvre node.

As you are using RSS I assume you are using RO and the resized Mk 1-2 capsule.... Because in RO inbuilt reaction wheels for torque is not present for capsules.you need to bring RCS for that

Note that only the two stack probes (now 2m and 3m) have much in the way of torque; even then you'll want to bring RCS. Everything else doesn't have any torque to speak of.

From the OP in RO

Oh, I congratulate you!!! Circumnavigate the moon is not so difficult, you will understand how to do it by repeating it 3-4 times.

I see, the problem is I forgot to set MonoPropellant fuel with stretchy tank. So I have empty tanks :(

Excellent. :) Will you include ullage/retro motors? For S-IC, they were 8 retros, located in pairs on engine fairings. On S-II, there were 8 ullage motors located on aft skirt (jettisoned along with it, shortly after separation) and 4 retros mounted on the forward interstage. Now, S-IVB was a bit more complex, being restartable. It had two solid ullage motors and two liquid ones, all located near where the interstage connected to the tank. The liquid thrusters were pressure-fed hypergolics (MMH/N2O4), with very low thrust. Presumably, they were used to start the engine for the TLI burn, with solids providing ullage immediately after stage separation. Also, there were 6 attitude control engines (using the same fuel as ullage motors), also located near the aft end of the tank.

Here's a good breakdown of where (roughly) those engines were located.

Yes, I'm doing it, thanks for the info! But still not fully understood in all retro-engines.

Which ones do you need help with? The 1st stage retros are particularly interesting. They're hidden under covers in the flared engine mount fairings. They could be made by cutting out a hole in the fairing, then making a part with a jettisonable cover that would fit snugly into the hole. Upon staging, the covers would blow off and the rockets would fire.

As for the 2nd stage retros, check this out:

They're in the interstage, pointing directly forward. This auxiliary propulsion system module is where the RCS and liquid ullage motors were mounted. My guess would be one thruster pointing upward and two to the sides, with ullage motor pointing backwards. There were too such modules on the S-IVB.

Thanks, I figured out with all the retro-motors ,Retro-motors will be separate parts.

Send me a PM with the rocket, then. I'll see what I can do. I'll probably be able to give it a shot this weekend. And if not, next weekend I'll be doing a lot of flying. :)

Okay, now I have found a mistake in the J-2 overheating, I'll fix it and send it to you in a personal Rocket.
