So I am working on Blue bird 7 which is like BB6. my ast 1-5 the panels are .5 meters based off this image

but I would say the bb6/7 are maybe 2 meters wide?

It is larger. It also has a different case

It looks like it has a silver round case.
But the panels look larger also?
I assume it is built the same meaning it has a module on top. But I am not seeing that?

That makes sense for the new Glenn set up?

BlueBird Block 2

BlueBird Block 2 are the operational satellites for AST & Science's SpaceMobile mobile communications constellation, designed to provide space-...

An Orion spacecraft is launched to the Moon, using an SLS rocket with a Centaur common upper stage.


LAS separation reveals the forward payload adapter between the Centaur and the Orion.


Coasting into the sunset on a 200 km parking orbit.


Inspecting the spent Centaur stage in the vicinity of the Moon.

I got ASTBB7 to unfold. If someone wants to play with Texture/material setting, feel free.

I set it to reflect but you kinda lose the texture setting?

when can we get this to fly

Looks like NASA is looking New Glenn 9.4 to use for later Artemis missions

 

[Spaceman 3D]

wow New Glenn 9x4 for Orion. Source please?

I am currently working on flight 267 with the Ariane 6 rocket...









32 Amazon LEO satellites...

(I'm using Multistage2015 and Vesselbuilder)....

EVA stuff. Flex and new suit guys.

Into launch clamps...

(the whole thing will have to be covered by an exhaust hood before the launch, of course)

 

[N_Molson]

So one of these posts will do the fueling:



And it fits inside these hoods.



The other side is a bit more problematic as there is little room to spare (because of the DG, and more specifically, because of the hover thrusters that make the underside 'not flat' unlike the Shuttle). But we'll figure it out.

will you plan to switch to spaceships at some point ?

 

[misha.physics]

I’m going to release this aircraft and have some rest. I think I’d like to make some spaceships after, but I can’t say exactly when.

Are you planning to do your own designs or do you want to do an existing (fictional and nonfictional) spacecraft?

 

[misha.physics]

In my last add-ons I ported purchased by me 3D models into Orbiter format. I mean textures, animations, etc. And I like using Lua for my add-ons. But I don't have much experience in developing a physical model for ships. So, maybe I could take part in some project by providing a 3D model in Orbiter format with textures, animations and some other Lua implementation. But later.

 

[dennis.krenz]

I currently work on a design, but I intentionally made it so geometrically simple and ugly functional, that even I could do the meshes. I wish I would just be untalented, right now it feels more like I have an anti-talent.

Space Reactor-1 is approaching Mars and releases the white aeroshell with the landers.
