The Dressian Exploder Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 On the topic of scope creep... Is there a possibility some time in the future of pre-sputnik soviet rockets being added to the mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, may i ask, since this spacecraft was propelled by nuclear propulsion, are you planning to include the RD-0410? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 0410 is definitely something I want to do at some point, but as far as I know, this one is entirely nuclear-electric. Two of these propulsion modules dock on each end, and the whole thing flies "sideways" (no drag in space!) For ksp balance, I'm going to give each engine 15kn thrust each, 300kn for the whole complex when assembled. Irl I believe it's 0.15kn for the entire 10 engine complex.

So, nuclear powered Ion thrusters basically? Also, what's with the eye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right bro, I got my info wrong in that regard. By the way, amazing stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardZLol Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Hi all! To explain my absence in the past few weeks, i've been working on a separate mod, for fun. My hope is that this will allow me to flip-flop between the projects, if i ever get tired of working nonstop on one of them. If i dont send updates on the soyuz for a while in the future, assume im working on Ariane. (This will not be part of Tantares) After this little detour, and out of my own discretion and no threats received from Beale (my family is safe), i'm going back to getting the soyuz parts in the game, and finishing the revamp. I should be able to get a few more parts added this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you might want to add placeholder end caps to all the parts that have an "empty" or "blank" end cap before any products are finished. The BDB team discovered that non-textured/modeled end caps can cause a drag issue while working with the X-15 Edited July 14 by GoldForest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

septemberWaves Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Glad to have more Energia payloads. And I'm very curious to see what the Mars lander will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I read the lander for this spacecraft was going to land in a horizontal way, the legs would pop up from the fuselage of the craft. Then inside the payload bay of this lander there would be the ascend vehicle. But about this lander, looks interesting, the shape of the heat shield reminds me of the return-to-earth vehicle from the Mars Excursion Module that the Americans also proposed.

Well, I guess I should have said one of the designs. Can't find any others tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're very foruntate to have a lot of details for it: There's the aerodyamic landing craft, and the barebones ascent vehicle. 11 hours ago, GoldForest said: This was the proposed design. As far as I know, this is the "KK" design, which is waaaay older (early 60s). Edited July 15 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
septemberWaves Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) This landing system is very reminiscent of the Constellation program. It's interesting to see where similar designs show up. I suppose there can't be that many good ways to land on Mars. Edited July 15 by septemberWaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current US plan is to land the crew in the pressurized rover which is then used as the habitat and have a separate ascent vehicle which was previously staged. It's interesting how people design their architectures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that they still have little more than an outline for returning to the Moon yet.
