Project CST-100

[ky]

I was thinking about it last night,but after the first or second release i'll go DLL.Id appreciate the help.Also,does anyone want to make the Documentation for this?

 

[PhantomCruiser]

I'd be willing to try to assist with documentation. I'll start digging, and anyone can PM me with what they've found so far.

 

[ky]

Thanks!

 

[Johnman]

OK, count me in then. For C++ or whatever you might need!

 

[ky]

C++ and Ummu implementation in later releases.

Me:Meshes and Textures
Diogom:Configs/Spacecraft3
PhantomCruiserocuments

The only thing im missing is Scenarios.Who want's to create them?

Actually i'll do the scenario files.

Q: are you going to use customized textures for CST-100 or are you going to use photo realistic images for it?

 

[ky]

My own textures.Remember,I'm not experienced with this type of stuff.I'm intermediate.Below is a pic from Boeing(left)and a pic of where I am now(right).

Just noticed 500 posts,:lol:

Heres what Boeing said

We cannot respond to questions regarding airplane configuration, materials used, production, or engineering processes. We are also unable to provide blueprints, CAD drawings, or other detailed specifications about our products beyond information provided here.

Men in black will be paying you a FOIA visit...

lol they dont know where I live.Or do they.........

Command Module and Service Module meshes separated.

Im sending the Service Module mesh to Diogom.

OK, in making the Icon for this project (yes Ky contacted me to create it) would it be OK to use Boeing's corporate logo on it?

 

[Kyle]

Here's a good video in general of CST-100 operations.

*He says in a crazy scientist voice: It's alive! :lol:

A quick config file for it got it "flying". Here are two pics. One of them has the Shuttle for comparison.

 

[Kyle]

Didn't know CST-100 was that big compared to shuttle..

 

[ky]

Can you please send me the ini and scenario file?

 

[Tacolev]

Looking good diogom.

I will second that it looks a little big though. Maybe it's just the perspective. 5m diameter right?

 

[ky]

Actually im going to recheck that in sketchup.

Looks nice, although a bit dark compared to the orbiter. It's almost like it is in shadow. A bit of color correction maybe?

The SM is right above the payload bay in the pic, almost inside it.

More source info, using a CST-100 search on the Boeing site, since they are uncooperative as usual.

I'm working through the NASASpaceFlight site, CST-100 thread, Found this if it helps

"Um, the RS-88 was designed to be an Abort motor. The total thrust is greater than the escape tower for Apollo, in fact it could loose one of it's thrusters and still be greater.

Apollo's escape tower produced 147,000 lbf, compared to the four RS-88's combined 220,000 lbf. Apollo was a bit lighter, mind you, but not dramatically. The combined capsule + tower for Apollo was a bit over 9,000 kg. CST-100 with all systems is supposed to be around 11,000 kg. So, even with the extra two metric tons, the LAS on the CST-100 is more capable than that on the Apollo."

I hope these help, it takes time to research all this, beyond just a google search which does not always reveal what you need.
