Request Artemis landers

[gattispilot]

Updated. Made everything to dynetics,..... move the cfg
The new scn has the array added. The array still needs work

 

[gattispilot]

On the eva guys. this is what we have versus the image:

The big difference is the guy we have, has a big silver belt. The image doesn't have that and the bottom of this pack would go lower.

 

[barrygolden]

Yes there very close , lookat the neck area

 

[gattispilot]

Maybe like this:

 

[barrygolden]

I would remove more and make a cup for the helment to sit in

 

[gattispilot]

Ok. That's makes the backpack smaller

Is this the planned xEMU suit?

Ok, first test results:
In the Dyneticstest.cfg please change the attachment def's to

;<-------------------------ATTACHMENTS DEFINITIONS------------------------->

ATT_0_IDX = 0
ATT_0_POS = -4.85 0 0
ATT_0_DIR = -1 0 0
ATT_0_ROT = 0 1 0
ATT_0_RANGE = 10
ATT_0_ID = Rocket
ATT_0_TOPARENT = TRUE
ATT_0_IDCHECK = FALSE

;<-------------------

Scenarios: The cfg-file reference should changed to Dyneticstest.cfg

In the "ALPACA docked at Gateway.scn"
ALPACA:VesselBuilder1\Dyneticstest ;added s

In the "ALPACA landed on Marius Hills"
ALPACA:VesselBuilder1\Dyneticstest ; added s

 

[Gargantua2024]

Ok, first test results:
In the Dyneticstest.cfg please change the attachment def's to

;<-------------------------ATTACHMENTS DEFINITIONS------------------------->

ATT_0_IDX = 0
ATT_0_POS = -4.85 0 0
ATT_0_DIR = -1 0 0
ATT_0_ROT = 0 1 0
ATT_0_RANGE = 10
ATT_0_ID = Rocket
ATT_0_TOPARENT = TRUE
ATT_0_IDCHECK = FALSE

;<-------------------

Replacing the attachment point defined would however overwrite the parent attachment point defined for the solar array. So instead of replacing it, simply add the new attachment instead:

;<-------------------------ATTACHMENTS DEFINITIONS------------------------->

ATT_0_IDX = 0
ATT_0_POS = 0 1.6 0
ATT_0_DIR = 0 1 0
ATT_0_ROT = 0 0 1
ATT_0_RANGE = 10
ATT_0_ID = SolarArray
ATT_0_TOPARENT = FALSE
ATT_0_IDCHECK = FALSE

ATT_1_IDX = 1
ATT_1_POS = -4.85 0 0
ATT_1_DIR = -1 0 0
ATT_1_ROT = 0 1 0
ATT_1_RANGE = 10
ATT_1_ID = Rocket
ATT_1_TOPARENT = TRUE
ATT_1_IDCHECK = FALSE


;<-------------------------ANIMATIONS DEFINITIONS------------------------->

In this way, we can have both attachments for the Solar Array and the Rocket. The scenarios won't be affected with the change

 

[gattispilot]

MAde the changes.

Turns out that the Constellation suit looks pretty close to the XEMU. You might change the belt a little by bringing it down in the front a little but its really pretty close . When we get closer to doing EVA's might make the sun shades deploy like the AMSO guys have and helmet lights for sure. Change the chest patch as well to an Artemis patch. Might give some thought about 2 US astronauts 1 ESA and 1 JAXSA guy.

Here's a thought about the VC as well

 

[gattispilot]

The NASA MMU guy is close also. and you your changes in the cabin. This is what we have now:

 

[barrygolden]

Yes your really right . would need a removeable backpack and a little helmet change

 

[gattispilot]

Yes. I might accent the joints more.

Remove the backpack. and change the badges.

The Dynetics Lander now fits perfectly on the Falcon Heavy's fairings! The antennae and landing gear still protrudes a little though, but still good-looking!

Here's the .SCN definition of the ALPACA in its launch configuration (stowed arrays, landing gear, antennae.....crewless mode):

Would try to put this spacecraft on an SLS (Block 1B) next

Can you send a scn with the Alpaca on the FH. The one I saw there was no ALPACA in the SCN

 

[barrygolden]

The HGA's need to fold over the cabin I think

 

[gattispilot]

It looks like a new model might be needed. Reduced the landing gear slightly and hGA. or 2 versions?

On HGA. I figured it rotated at the bottom and then another joint rotated 360 degrees. Maybe at the head tilts back?

The HGA would be like a robicarm. 3 joints, 1. rotate away from body, 2 rotate 360 degrees, y axis? and the head will be able to tilt. I can shorten the distance from the head to elbow (360) degree. Then no robitic arm.

 

[francisdrake]

Scenario with the Alpaca on a FalconHeavy. This should work with the new attachment points in the cfg-file.
Included Gargantua2024's modified animation status, so the landing legs and stairs are retracted.

 

[gattispilot]

Here is a new Dynetics with moveable HGA. It is like the robotic arm. Separate cfg,mesh, scn. I had a hard time getting the hga to work.
