Now, you have me curious, what are the three known variants of this?

All three variants are shown on the picture of saljut 7.

1. the identical variant on Soyuz/Progress
2. the rear variant on Saljut across from Progress IGLA with reflection protection
3. the front variant on Saljut accross from Soyuz

Glad I could help! 

Give me a challenge and I'll give it a crack. If there's one thing uni taught me, it's how to improve my Google-fu :D

@hraban will probably have to correct me on this, but are all 3 shown in the picture he posted of Soyuz and progress docked to Salyut? There's the ones on Soyuz/progress, the one at the front of Salyut and the one at the rear of Salyut. The one at the rear was also present on the mir core module and zvezda (I think) but not too be confused with the SDRN antenna on zvezda. I don't think it's visible in photos any more of zvezda because igla has now been supplanted by kurs. Then again I could be taking complete twaddle and might be completely wrong :D

Edit. Oops, didn't see his post :rolleyes:

Beautiful, I had previously thought there was some variation among the different Soyuz versions, but probably just bad diagrams, great information, many thanks!

 

Quick updates for Kosmos, before moving onto the Soyuz Rocket.

How was it even supposed to look like? I've read about it but haven't seen any images

The Mars Train concept actually consists of the TMK and variants to bring a full on Mars Base to the surface utilizing the N1 LV:

Link above shows you how massive this undertaking was!

May be an official part to bind Tantares to BDB? :D

Oh I love the picture!

I wonder what the question is though, who makes this part? :D

Nice! Thanks!

 

 

More house-cleaning.

Just remember, never look at Orbiter models!

Something not quite right with the textures... Happens to the LES, too.

With the Github uploads, you really need to clear out any existing Tantares folder before copy-pasting a new version in, as there can be changes in file formats MBM -> DDS, etc.

In this case, download fresh GitHub copy, delete the Tantares folder in GameData and paste the new copy in.

wv36liS.png Fits on flat surface, no clipping (unlike the stock folding antenna, but who am I to judge?).
HWA91aA.png Fits orbital modules very closely also (Extends no further out than the skirt on the engine).

Have all the other parts organized and updated to match the new pork-alike style you seem to be going for, re-add the vostok upper stage rocket and fuel tank parts (waymaker, waykeeper, fuel tank that goes with them). Make the mod feel clean and complete before you start adding in new stuff.

Thanks!

I'm thinking about adopting the Tucana/Federation myself

Edit: I know it's been already "adopted", but I mean really update it

My only thought is, I hope you have the files already, I deleted them a long time ago :o 

I do have other things though...

Any plans for the Voskhod module to be created in the stockalike style?

Probably not in Tantares every, but @IronCretin could one day (I think he has more exciting projects underway though).

I don't have much interest because it's kind of a dead-end project for Gameplay, a few launches and then the parts are probably forgotten.
After that, LOK and LK are the second most "dead-end" style of craft, but they actually can be used a lot (I've even seen some sneaky people do Mars landings with them :) ). Hard to find that level of versatility for the Vostok/Voskhod

I know this was made into a mod, I'm not asking to re-integrate all of the vostok parts, I just think that the parts for the vostok upper stage should be added back in for the sake of having more options for upper stages of the soyuz rocket.

 

Also @IronCretin, I've been trying to get in contact with you to help make you an IVA for that mod, but you still refuse to friend me on discord or respond to my messages.

It's an old thing to say, sure, but I like the N1-L3 so much. Nice pics of orbital test (Kerbin 3.2) below.

Burning the transtage to the Mun aka block G. Yes, the ship has layers of fairings.

Also, here's a Kronal view of the rocket. Caution, long pic:

As for the results of the test, well, the built-in RCS thrusters on LOK's SM and docking come don't seem to work (although the context menu says they're on in both cases). And the heatshield won't jetisson. Still more things to do!

@damonvv HabTech has a good Cygnus Trunk model, and that could be integrated into Tundra Aerospace!

Back in the old days, Tantares had the best Cygnus and Antares rockets imo :wink: But I'll take a look and see how that plans out :P

Just one question, that's green skin's suits right? How did you get it working?

Really sorrt, unfortunately I cannot remember where it is from exactly, but 100% not green skull. I should probably not share it freely in-case of licences, etc.
May be worth asking the TextureReplacerReplaced thread.

Very nice craft and mission! Thanks for the bug reports, I will investigate those.

More flying, more testing. Found 1 false alarm (the RCS engines on LOK's SM do work, actually) and 1 more bug (the fuel cell in said SM uses no monoprop, but does generate electricity). Other than that...
