Orion MPCV with SLS Block I (UPDATED)

[iDan122]

After some hard work, I present you:

Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle

Javascript is disabled. View full album

My first 'proper' video of its capabilities(old):

What it can do:

• Deliver Kerbals to LKO, LMO and LMINO
  
• Return Kerbals back to Kerbin(obviously)
  
• Dock to spacecraft and Space Stations
  

LKO-Low Kerbin Orbit

LMO-Low Mun Orbit

LMINO-Low Minmus Orbit

What it consists of:

*image is property of NASA

Action Groups(included in craft description)

1-Toggle solar panels

8-Deploy chutes(use after Abort)

9-Detach LES

Abort-Decouples the pod and fires the LES engines, launching the crew to safety

LES- Launch Escape System

V2 RELEASED!

What's new:

Rearranged RCS thruster more realistically
Removed ugly decoupler, replaced with new unlatch mechanism
Fairings between transfer stage and Orion separate much easier now, thanks to low-power separatrons
Added long-range antenna
Turned the whole thing 45 degrees, now to perform gravity turn just pitch down!
Overall improvements

This looks very cool, as usual for you . And ps: don't you just hate it when you get plenty of views and nobody says a things

[Dieguscus]

This is a really nice one! I love how you have made the sls so accurate. I also made a nice Orion replica and I invite all of you to check it out: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/75538-Project-Orion%28MPCV%29-The-most-accurate-Orion-vessel-you-probably-have-seen-until-now?p=1071835#post1071835

Wow Dieguscus, yourOrion actually puts mine to shame

Though you don't have a launcher with a prop. Stage I guess we are even.

I think I'll make an update and use your decoupler technique, because by decoupler looks quite ugly in my opinion.

Yes I agree

Be sure to leave a like (no sub needed), it will keep me motivated to maybe make more videos!

[Dodgey]

Nice, that looks really good!

[iDan122]

Version 2 released so happy with the new looks!

[Majorjim!]

Damn, cant give you more rep..

Great work on this IDan, shes a beaut.

[iDan122]

Thanks! I think I'll make a new video with the new version later on. Problem is i have school this Saturday :0

Crazy, right? Oh well, afttr that only 5 days left in my old school where your grades will always be 20% lower than they should be...

I am so sorry you are still at school. Truly I am.

Cant wait to see the improvments!

Do you want the video to have a simpl fun fly-by(like in the 1st vid) or a full Mun mission with docking to my Mun station, or maybe a trip to Minmus?

If it can go to Mun and Min then yeah!

With good editing (just spend a lot of time on it) You can show a lot of cool stuff in one vid.

Wish I had one. Too autistic to install it.

I basically made the vid through trial and error in Windows movie maker, yeah

It's nont as hard as I thoughtit would be, but encoding and uploading takes time. 20 minutes for a 4 minutes video is quite a lot!

Yeah that is a lot.. Uploading to YT with my internet takes 55 minutes with a 4 minute video..

[iDan122]

And I thought my internet was cac. Is internet that bad all around UK? Because some countries developed internet services better than others, and it doesn't even matter from how rich or poor the country is. I visit France often and I have to say, they have good internet, but terrible websites.

Luckily Latvian programmers are one of the best in the world , btw learning programming myself too

Yeah the UKs internet speed is as a whole lagging behind most 1st world countries..

Couple that with the fact that I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world where we get destroyed by taxes.

I am on a low wage too until I pass my license exams.

Anyway, mustn't moan. Stiff upper lip and all that.

You're learning a very powerful tool IDan. I wish I had the patience and math skills for programming.

[iDan122]

You can come over to Latvia if you want and you'll learn C in 2 weeks the hardcore way(5 hours of theory a day, 2 practice hours) Warning though, I did that for a week and the first few days my head exploded every time.

Btw they offer long distance tutoring too, I can give the website if you're interested.

I am too busy studying for my license exams IDan.. Thanks though, and good luck with it!

Are you thinking of making mods for KSP?

[iDan122]

Probably not, I don't have time to learn 3D modelling yet. It looks quite hard from videos. Plus then you have to draw textures, and then some coding to make your part do stuff.

[Woopert]

Yeah that is a lot.. Uploading to YT with my internet takes 55 minutes with a 4 minute video..

I can upload videos in 5-10 minutes here in the U.S., usually 5 minutes haha.

That is a long time for such a short video, at least you have Internet though!!

[iDan122]

at least you have Internet though!!

The wisest words I have heard in a long time...

Wow, you got another rep bar! Congrats, iDan!

[iDan122]

Thanks! I feel like I'm sucking up rep like a black hole
