FSATGMADOE - Astronaut Names Revealed and First Manned Flight

[Pyromaniac605]

FSATGMADOE today revealed the name of their first astronaut group. The group consists of 6 men and 4 women.
These brave people are, Clive Lloyd, Chaz Heath, Brian Edison, Vernon Elliot, Alice Parnel, Kiara Brook, Delia Charmaine, Alexey Maksimilian, Torin Grady and a mysterious woman known only as Carmen S. (Kudos to you if you get the reference)

FSATGMADOE have 5 Soyuz FG rockets to use with their 5 Soyuz TMA spacecraft for these manned missions. We wish these astronauts good luck and wonder which of them will be the first into space.

---March the Year after---
Tragedy struck today when FSATGMADOE's first manned flight ended in disaster.
The launch was "Go" and all seemed well as astronaut Alice Parnel sat alone in her Soyuz TMA spacecraft atop a Soyuz FG rocket.
The launch went as planned with Alice completing 3 orbits around Earth.
But there were problems during the reentry procedure when the modules did not seperate.
It is expected the craft broke up somewhere between 60 and 50 km high.
Parts of the Soyuz have been found around Central Asia but no remains have been found.

That's a real disaster dude. I'm sorry to hear that.

 

[Shinrar]

(Yay for Ms. Sandiego!)

 

[Izack]

Where on Earth is Carmen San Diego?

No one knows, 'cause she's not on Earth! :rofl:

 

[PhantomCruiser]

I'd wondered where she went off too... You known she took the beans from Lima? That's what I heard anyway.

 

[Pyromaniac605]

Glad everyone enjoys the reference. :thumbup:
But to be honest the only reason the modules 'failed' to separate was because I'm not too familiar with the Soyuz TMA controls. :facepalm:
I'm sure this 'failure' should be fixed next time. :lol:

Darren

 

[IronRain]

which TMA are you using? Thorton's?

 

[Pyromaniac605]

Yeah, Thorton's, the one with ISS 3.2.

Darren

 

[IronRain]

okay. The key is to read the manuals and keep practicing (that's actually the key to all the add-ons, I know -.-)

 

[Izack]

Funny, I had the opposite problem. I accidentally depressurised the BO 2 minutes after separation from the Soyuz second stage. :facepalm:

 

[Pyromaniac605]

Now I have to get used to your new avatar. Thanks a lot Izack. :lol: Just kidding but really an avatar is something people use on forums to identify.
Sort of like if someone got plastic surgery but kept their nametag. :lol:

Checklists will help

 

[Pyromaniac605]

Not this again. :facepalm:

Ah, damned. In such moments I usually hit my keyboard until it works :lol: (or just print the key summary before launch).

Shouldn't the descent module survive with all the other modules still attached in real life?

Would you prefer the stormtrooper?

It's your avatar, keep it if you like, but the stormtrooper was unique. :thumbup:

I'm not sure, I can't imagine it but Vostok 1 survived fine with the wires still attached, althought that was basically a heatshield ball. :lol:

Edit2: Welcome back Izack. :lol:

 

[Izack]

I'm in your base, storming your troops!

 

[Pyromaniac605]

I'm in your base, storming your troops!

:lol:
Just thought I'd let you guys know, I'm working on the next part right now, screenies this time though.

Also the current mission layout is: one one crew mission, one two crew mission and two three crew missions.

I'm thinking of combining the final two into a rendevouz/docking mission.

FORUM ALICE REVENGES
BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T READ THE MANUAL​

Seriously though, (not to sound too harsh), read the manuals. This is Orbiter.
Strange coincidence that it was Alice who died... :shifty:
