 I do have the tanks and the fuel and oxidizer is in them too rather than that when I put them on the andromeda decoupler like they are put on the wiki (Friznit's unofficial Tantares wiki) the fuel cannot go to the S5.4  engine. Do I need to put them directly on the engine or are they supposed to work fine on the decoupler?

Oh interesting, I maybe have to look at that thanks

Pre-7K lunar flyby module 5K Sever(North) project, just in case

So rare to see in such good quality! Thanks!

Famous Capt.David (the best known expert in Almaz/TKS) several years ago had published some exclusive photos in his flickr.
(Btw pay attention to the life-support strap-on compartment of VA on some photos. In the stock KSP it's an equivalent of decouplable battery, powering VA after separation from FGB for ~3 hours)
A lot of LK also there.

Also many unique pictures of abandoned Proton/Almaz-related projects are contained in this book

(obviously, I can't give a link to its online copy)

Individual rescue heatshield project (with pictures), tested irl in 2000.

My jaw hit the floor! I've been looking for some of this stuff for a really long time!

Thanks!

Contains a really rare view of the VA capsule in thermal blankets, I wonder if there is any clear pictures of this...

Hi all. I am trying to locate a part that seems to be missing from one of my craft files. The part named is "Tantares.MOE.3.E". I would be grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction, i am using the latest versions of Tantares, LV & SP. Thankyou

They all changed names to Octans so you need to edit the craft files in a text editor to the new part names. Off the top of my head it'd be called something like Octans MOE 3E RCS now.  Simple search and replace should fix up the craft file.

So would i be right in thinking that where the craft file says Tantares.MOE.3.E, the new name for this particular part is "octans_moe_srf_3_extended" this particular one is located in the "any_rcs" > soyuz folder.

What I do is create a very simple craft - any object with the new RCS part fitted.  Open that craft file in a text editor and then copy the name of the new part.

Can we have optional side hatch or mounting points for soyuz?

That will definitely make it more complex but mean while allow so many further possibilities to exist.

Like L3 1963 the soyuz lander

OIP.j5YUUCDD6XndCI7DvvzzSgAAAA?pid=ImgDe

Or L1 Podsadka: early L1 with a inflatable hatch on the side

l1.jpg&ehk=8vwj02pPakGhrCILWvPKyg5mdZcaS

Or regular soyuz with extra backup rescue hatch\ parachutes

Unfortunately there is not really the scope to work on that right now, unless extra hands can be had to assist.

Here is what is currently scoped:

But, I will keep these ideas for a hatch in mind.

As a general rule, TantaresSP (Space Probes) is only going to feature spacecraft that go beyond Earth orbit (this is up for debate, but that's at least how I've been categorising it so far).
This is why you still got stuff like Progress and Meteor in regular Tantares, since they are Earth Orbit.

Maybe a new sub-mod, TantaresORB, for space stations and stuff? That should declutter the base Tantares part catalogue enough, though the distinction between ‘station’ and ‘spacecraft’ can be pretty thin and very blurry  sometimes, especially for TKS/FGB.

You didn't think Polyus was the only thing I was working on, right? :)

I hope you did, because you would be right. Credit to Nick Stevens.

In more mundane news, conversion of existing parts to B9PS is going very well, several existing part sets can now take full advantage (The progress modules for example no longer have a ridiculous 8 switches, but two neat and tidy small switchers).

Is all that AO baked into the texture? Oh no...

Is it April 1st? if yes ... i will make a UR-700 CAM using procedural parts ... :mad:
UR-700, UR-700 nuclear (with RD-0411) and possibly UR-900 for Mars - These are the most exotic rockets.
