Vessel Commerical LEO destinations and other space stations

[MarkWatney2015]

The design of Axiom's solar arrays looked like they are ROSAs. Similar to the iROSAs that are currently attached over the main panels of the ISS and those from DART

Here is the latest. The RCS exhaust is wrong. I think translation is good but rotation is wrong. The launch the module seem too tall. But I can make a custom fairing with logo. Just not sure how to adjust the Falcon9.cfg
@BrianJ

not sure what you mean about this?
Something else to look at is a new MFD map as the one VAST uses

 

[barrygolden]

the map MFD is in the wrong thread but would be nice to track this new spacecraft in a map like that one

 

[gattispilot]

Fixed the rcs and animations. The scenario has the SSRMS and you will need the Axiom5 .

On to the habitat

 

[francisdrake]

Tested the NEWAXIOMPPTM1.1. Nice!

Some impressions:

The RCS thrusters seem a bit strong now. I would think they will rather use 100 N thrusters, acting in pairs or quadruples.

You might consider an aft view, for docking with the rear port, switching with the [E] or [C] key. Example:

        case OAPI_KEY_E:        // Camera look back and forth
                if (camera) {
                    camera = 0;
                    SetCameraOffset (_V(0, 0, 3.4));
                    SetCameraDefaultDirection(_V(0, 0, 1));
                } else {
                    camera = 1;
                    SetCameraOffset (_V( 0, 0, -6.8));
                    SetCameraDefaultDirection(_V(0, 0, -1), 0);
                }
                oapiCameraAttach(GetHandle(), 2);
                return 1;

The thrusters will be inverted when looking aft, but at least you can see where to fly to.

I removed the SSRMS from the scenario. I don't use it, and it is not necessary for test flying.
(This is just my personal preference.)

 

[gattispilot]

Reduced rcs and added the camera change

I guess we need a scn of just the PTTM and one docked with the SSRMS?

 

[gattispilot]

I need to redo the PTTM mesh and code. I think the radiator need to pivot so straight out,

 

[barrygolden]

it looks like the rms is on PPTM but it is launched on the Hab 1 or it walks off the ISS on to PPTM then walks off on to the Hab 1

 

[francisdrake]

Good Point, that the Solar panels and radiators may collide when angling independently. Maybe the simple solution is to Just let Thema Stick Out straight, and only have them rotated to track the sun.

 

[gattispilot]

fixed the panels. I got the Habitat together.

So scenarios? 1 for just the PTTM docked to ISS no RMS attached 2 PTTM and Habitat docked with RMS?

 

[MarkWatney2015]

First scenario would be the AxPPTM berthed to the ISS
Second scenario would be the AxHab-1 docked to AxPPTM after the latter departed the ISS

 

[barrygolden]

the plan is to load some of the racks inside the PPTM from the ISS so I wonder if they plan to walk the SSRMS off the ISS to the PPTM before it undocks

 

[MarkWatney2015]

Afaik the new plans were to send a new SSRMS alongside AxHab-1. I may be wrong but they don't plan on reusing the Canadarm2 anymore

 

[gattispilot]

I have this. renamed the cfg so easier to find. keys 2 rad 8 solar K track and 1 for the windows on the HAB.

On the SSRMS I know for the gateway they were working on a new rms. I was working on it also.

I am not expert on the arm. But I wonder if the targets are too small?

got to have the Axiom 5 for textures,.....

I guess the airlock module should be next. basically the pptm with and extra part. no solar or rad.

 

[gattispilot]

Airlock module. I need to redo the meshes with the better rms target, So found a texture issue.
But can't get this guy to dock properly with the hab.

 

[gattispilot]

With the airlock.

I need to figure out how to tell the Falcon 9 which fairings to use? @BrianJ
I can make a custom one for this vessel.

 

[gattispilot]

What we can do now. new texture for fairing. But it seems the Axiom might be too long. Not sure if we have specs for the lengths?

 

[barrygolden]

Space X did a longer fairing for DOD stuff like the new logos

 

[gattispilot]

What I do not understand is the HAb2 looks like it has the common berth on both ends. But docks with hab1?
so does the PAM on the aft end of Hab1 need to be removeable?

 

[barrygolden]

the picture looks like it would be launched like that one of the PMA's on Hab 1 would be stored at docking spot 6 on hab 1 the the hab 2 captured with the RMS and berthed to Hab 1 then the RMS would move the stored PMA to Hab 2
