curtquarquesso Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Tantares .craft Files v1.2 is now up! Please check out post #4433 for the Dropbox Download, and all future updates. (Make sure to watch it in 1080p!)Here's a quick flight test/demo of the new and improved Soyuz-TMA (XLT) variant with soft-landing jets by XanderTek, and improved abort system: The next update will hopefully include the N-1, and Gemini, once Beale finishes the LK and Titan. Cheers! Edited February 22, 2015 by curtquarquesso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! How does that abort system work? I normally just have the fairings jettison and the escape tower ignite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtquarquesso Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 How does that abort system work? I normally just have the fairings jettison and the escape tower ignite.It's demoed in the video. The Soyuz escape tower yanks the fairings, the OM, and the CM away from the stack, then mid-flight, the CM decouples from the OM, slides out of the fairings, and lands as normal. Reason being, is that the fairings can't jettison away on either side in thick atmosphere. They wouldn't have the force required to separate, and would be glued shut by air rushing over them essentially. For this reason, the whole thing just comes off during an abort.

curtquarquesso Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I understand the procedure to an extent, but how can the fairings detach from the rocket without jettisoning?Ah. I see. The fairings halves are attached to the bottom of the stack, and to each other. They do jettison, but just from the bottom of the stack, not from each other. If you look at this video, it shows how the Soyuz is inserted into the fairing housing.

Astrofox Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Mr. Beale, I found this and I was wondering if you could create it for your Tantares LV mod that is out. Also, the site may be of some use to you.Thanks Beale and all who helped to create the mod,Astrofox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already looks very stock-ish.Edit: It also seems to use Angara engines, which would be coming along eventually.

Niemand303 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks!But, what about that rocket cannot be created with stock parts / welds? It already looks very stock-ish.Since it's basically a light Angara, it could be made with the oncoming parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
