I think I have seen and it was an addon on in orbiter of a Gemini launched on a Titan 3c and using a trans upper stage to fly around the Moon , the upper stage was used with the Titan 3 for DOD payloads
The Dragon heat shield would need to be beefed up to fly around the Moon
Just taking an early look at these new guys and wondering about lights on the helmets ? You might think about moving the rotation to keypad 1 and 3 seems as if all other EVA guys use those keys
Skylab came and went with out much fan fair and until the ISS it might have been the most important program NASA did. thanks for working to bring this alive in 2016.
Sounds like trying to add a tether might be to much work . It would be nice to have a tether EVA guy as was done with the ISS but be able to make him a free floater as well
Gattis here is your older Skylab EVA guy and he really looks super with his legs and thighs bent
Want to share this AMSO CSM with new Skylab thanks to gattis for the Skylab and 4th rock for the White CSM
Who was suppose to be building a landing craft? There is no budget for this at all?
NASA has funded Space X and Blue Origin to build landers Bezos already over budget and Space X needs a bulldozer to build a landing pad for a 7 story building. Maybe the Alpaca made more sence for both crew and...
you might think after NASA's grainy almost hard to see TV of the Apollo 11 Moon walk and the coverage of the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 EVA's that NASA would have shared better TV coverage from Skylab EVA's. Yes NASA had no TDRS sats at the time so it would have been on and off but what I have seen of...
Yes the Golden Slippers were mounted inside the solar disc as foot restraints
not really very good pictures from the Skylab EVAs
Pic 1 is the position of the golden slippers
pic 2 shows the ladder up to the ATM
Pic 3 shows that it was blue
I will say Collins dropped out of the new EVA suit contract so only Axiom is working on new suits. you might do a clean suit and see what that might look like. NASA planned to replace its ISS suits with a variant of these new Moon suits
Skylab didn't have many EVA hand holds like the ISS only a ladder to reach the ATM and golden slipper up there for the feet
I think the ladder is white now there must of been some kind of hand hold to get to it
Just a thought when you release this you might do several SCN like the launch MOI, landing , and on the surface. You might get BrianJ to help with some of these
