TK-313 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Just a little something I remembered. @Beale, do you still have this texture?

Deltac Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Almaz color update! Tantares in colors still needs an update for the added bits to the almaz parts, but other than that, boy does this look pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've gathered from Here is that the early version you're basing your model off of had a gyroscopic attitude control system as well as a gas based system for the first part of the mission. Soooo my guess is that the Vostok upper stage situated the satellite into an orbit, and then the gas system refined the orbit and set the attitude with the gyroscopic system taking over for fine maneuvering. This site gives us the much needed rear shot, though it's a bit grainy. Also that apogee and perigee would be low Earth orbit, though that shouldn't stop anyone from sending their Meteor's to other planets in KSP The Meteor also had sun tracking solar panels, so new solar panels! Also, it had an umbrella looking antenna, so new folding antenna! And lastly, I think this would look good on top of a Voskhod, let the Kerbals spy on those evil clouds!

Seems like a great place to visit when in Moscow It's three museums, actually The Cosmonautics museum, the Cosmos pavilion at VDNKh and the Polytechnical museum next door from Cosmos (that's the one with cool lunar and martian base concepts). It's all in the tags, actually. As well as spacecraft type and name, I tried to make browsing this collection as convenient as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an outdated part, you need to reinstall Tantares via deleting the existing folder in /Gamedata to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. engino Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I have a suggestion to make! Looking at images of the vostok spacecraft, I noticed these flaps around the retro rocket; these flaps were actually a thermal control system. I would like to suggest, therefore, that you add those into the game for a better vostok recreation. Besides, I think it would be nice to have an early game thermal control system, in case you send your vostok to moho or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltac Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Here I sit broken hearted. I came to see more posts before posting, instead I have to double post. Anyway, I made this thing. I've seen it before but I don't know if it was a real world design, or if it was Eyes turned skyward or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
