Earthrise: Neptunian Edition

(It's a "Neptuneset", more specifically)

This used to be stage 2 of the Black Arrow launch vehicle.

Is that the Generic destruction module? I really wish I could find that

 

[K_Jameson]

The upcoming Delphinus spacecraft during a flight test over KSC. :tiphat:

Off topic.

Kyle maybe you could tweak a little your Sketch Up tool bars.
This basic setting you have are limited.
Check this images and experiment.

try this config.

Hey thanks for the tip! That is quite useful :tiphat:

How did you accomplish that destruction effect?

Would you be willing to share it?

I didn't make this add-on.

 

[BruceJohnJennerLawso]

I didn't make this add-on.

Does the black arrow addon itself do it, or is it something else?

The add-on itself.

Yesterday was the launch of the Skylab-6B mission. This mission will be a maintenance mission to Skylab-II. This is done because the Russians have some trouble with launching the Skylab-7 mission.

This Skylab-6B mission will perform some (external) repairs to the station and they will oversee the first unmanned resuply mission. This was being planned for Dragon but the Presurissed Logistics Vehicle will perform it now.

Lift-off!

Leaving the cape

Good staging

LES gone

SECO!

Free of the booster

The destination this ship was designed for

Skylab-6B will oversee the first unmanned resuply mission to Skylab-II. The Prometheus launch vehicle with the PLV was rolled to the pad today.

Judging by the lack of beacon lights you've forgotten to pay electricity bills.

A couple quick screenshots of the outstanding virtual cockpit of Hlynkacg's [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5846"]Spider Lunar Lander[/ame]. Note the functional "8-ball" (FDAI), digital clocks, MFD (soon to be moved to the location of the flight computer), and switches/dials. It's sort of a "TotalImmersion" rendition of the Apollo Lunar Module, the objective of which is to provide ease of accessibility/usage while still preserving the retro-looking Apollo/Skylab-era cockpit (a combination of NASSP-level functionality and AMSO-level aesthetics, if you will). And, by that measure, it's a smashing success. Although very much still in beta-mode, it's fun to fly, but it's also fun to mess with the switches/dials on the various panels--many of which are functional! Thanks to Hlynkacg for his hours of hard work put into this fantastic addon. It's highly recommended. :thumbup:

From the CDR position...

And from the LMP position...

"Urgh, that darn radiator gave me a bit of angular momentum..... " :rofl:

(the one being deployed is the P6 EECTS TTCR, the same one that will be deployed in the next few hours)

 

[BruceJohnJennerLawso]

No particular reason, but I just thought Id post some shots that I took flying my Shuttle-D to orbit last night. The stack uses a Themis LV without a fairing as the first stage, lifting the vehicle into a suborbital trajectory, with the Shuttle-D (hopefully) burning to SECO. It usually proves quite challenging, as the low thrust of the NTR engine makes it hard to gain all of the necessary orbital velocity before falling back into the atmosphere, but a good pilot can do it, and have 3-4 Kps Dv remaining when in orbit. I think it will be usefull as an Earth departure stage for interplanetary missions.



Liftoff from KSC



Gravity turn at ~20-30 km



Booster Sep. Core Themis stage usually runs for a minute or 2 longer before cutoff

Having fun with the DG-IV

 

[Donamy]

Making alittle progress.

It feels a little odd seeing my work in someone else's screen shots.

I'm like "people actually download my stuff?!?" :blink:

Earthrise: Neptunian Edition
(It's a "Neptuneset", more specifically)

Which Neptunian moon is that?

 

[Cosmic Penguin]

Which Neptunian moon is that?

I don't know of any Neptunian moon that is so round and so round other than Triton. :thumbup:

 

[Izack]

Which Neptunian moon is that?

Triton, unless he's discovered a new moon with an atmosphere.

 

[sorindafabico]

Yes, Triton - interesting destination (a retrograde moon). So distant, it's a pity.
