I hadn't thought about the SAS:facepalm: If we add about 6 more cargos, that should simulate the mass, and we can add it on this mission
I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure the O2 count aboard the XR-5 updates itself correctly when you update the clock. Same with the Arrow.
In any case, the XR-5 carries several months of oxygen with a crew of two, and the Arrow carries several years worth with a crew of five
New schedule (all times UTC):
Nov 20 16:45: Chat meeting begins. Chronus rollout
Nov 20 17:30: Chronus main engine ignition
Nov 21 01:30: Rendezvous with Discovery and crew delivery by spacewalk
Nov 21 13:30: Discovery departs for Luna
Nov 25: Discovery arrives at Luna, begins maintenace work
Nov 27: Discovery departs for Earth
Dec 1: Discovery arrives at Earth. Chronus begins rendezvous/docking procedures to recover the crew.
Dec 2: Chronus begins reentry procedures and returns to WIA.
Sounds doable. But why?An idea: how about take the empty space in Chronus bay to launch a scientific sattelite?
No prob. It only takes one to man mission control. Bruce, you ready?Hi All, sorry to be a flake-i-form person.
As you might have guessed, I can't grok the new schedule owing prior travel commitments which will keep me out of the loop all next week. December missions are still looking fine.
Sounds doable. But why?
Okay:yes:
We'll open com channels at 16:30:thumbup: (11:30 AM EST)

(Real world arguments) To use the opportunity to advance our scientific knowledge
(Orbiter arguments) For fun - rendezvous and stuff!
Okay, see if you can add a Carina to the cargo bay, and then post the new state
