CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well today I made the shrouds Comes in full and half. (just because they are cool like that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 give me details and pics and I will think about them LK LanderSoyuz 7K-L1, equivalent to Apollo CSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibb31 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Those shrouds look a bit weird... Can you make one that fits the 1.25m tanks ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Those shrouds look a bit weird... Can you make one that fits the 1.25m tanks ?of course those are just sort of shaped like the Atlas V skirt is all that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairu Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 give me details and pics and I will think about them Single-chamber RD-858 + two-chamber RD-859 - descent/ascent engine cluster of LK:If I did not have exams soon, I would have went to the museum and took pictures myself If you\'ll decide to make it, I think it would be enough to make only the external part - after all the engine must be protected from the lunar dust.

Nibb31 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 If you want to do a landing engine, this is what the Blok E engine of the LK Lander looked like:It was used for both landing (the LK Lander used a Blok D module for most of the descent, and then dropped it and used the Blok E for the final descent) and takeoff. It left only the landing gear platform on the ground.There are lots of detailed pictures of the LK Lander here:http://www.astronautix.com/craft/lk.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 haha. I like how they vent he pump exhaust out nozzle cones problem that is it is rather none modular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well, you\'ve got the CM, a tapered fuel tank, the ascent engine and it\'s lander 'gantry'. I\'d say, make the landing engine 1m, the fuel tank 1m to 0.75m, turn the greebles into SAS/ASAS/Mechjeb and find where that thing has RCS tank and thrusters, and it should come out pretty modular. If the radial RCS tank would be side-attachable, everything that\'d not be fully modular would be the legs part, which would have to go directly on the engine.

Nibb31 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The LK had one main engine (the central nozzle) and one backup (with 2 chambers, the 2 nozzles on each side). If all went well, the 2 side nozzles didn\'t fire.The RCS thrusters were above the crew module in the upper segment, just below the docking plate.The LK didn\'t have a proper docking mechanism, just a contact plate with lots of little holes that the LOK (the modified Soyuz that served as a command module) could catch on to, a bit like velcro. This system saved weight as it didn\'t need any of the heavy docking equipment that was used on Soyuz. Then, the single cosmonaut transferred between the LK and the LOK by EVA.The landing legs part would have to be a conical decoupler (that would go from 1m to 0.75 if you follow Dragon\'s idea) with 7 holes in the bottom for the Blok E engine nozzles and deployable legs attached on the side. Plenty of work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 well we will see about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kairu Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I believe that LK-700 is more suitable for this pack. Direct-landing scheme, and it was designed by the same company as TKS and Almaz.But for now the question is only about a landing engine, and that one from LK is good too. (And I actually can not find a single picture of LK-700 landing engine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 That does seem much more fitting, but I can\'t find any more info on it. Strange, it\'s not even mentioned on Wiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 welp. new update broke a lot of things and stuff. so.. think i will go back on break out of pure laziness to not want to fix it hahaha. ah nevermind. there is a fixed mechjeb for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 haha ther engine i was maiing looks sort of like the LK-700 Acent. can you get better pictures of the LK-700 ascent engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I am aware it is not how the Engine actually is. but what would you all think if i made the engine chamber tilted to the side? http://www.russianspaceweb.com/images/rockets/gslv/kvd1_scale_1.jpgalso, it seems I can delete the need for inverters as you can rotate parts now there are a lot of changes but i am getting kosmos up to speed with.

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 hmm it is a neat engine but think i will go with the KVD-1 looking one i have whatcha thing? Welp I finished the plumbing. Here I color coded it It is actually the most accurate fuel system with booster pumps I have done yet lol. should make for a nice short little lander engine. I think it is like 0.4m in height. in the end it should be ~3000-3500 polies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Welp. made me the RD-862LK it is actually shorter than the stock engine it will probably be weaker after I do what I want to do but for now it si strong and uses RCS fuel. but in the future it will use regular rocket fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
