Project ISV Venture Star

I mean passenger cryo- module

problems with translation:lol:

That modularity capability is very interesting, but does anything like it appear in official materials?

 

[yasny]

No it doesn't...
But it's more interesting)

I find it easier to develop a modular design
The problem is whether users can take advantage of it. In order to customize the ISV.

My favorite thing from Avatar was the Valkyrie Shuttle (that is the name of it, right?). It's an amazing looking bird- think of the possibilities! And the cockpit was really cool! I suppose XR5s will do until then.

Well, the Valkyrie can only operate to and from earth in the stock system, as it's lifter engines are air-breathing. The scramjets are also airbreathing, so again, Earth only. The Vanguard is capable of operating on any planet or moon that a UMMU will survive on. therefore, it's a lot more versatile. Besides, it's already available. although, it could use an RDA skin

It is? Where do I do find it? I searched Orbit hangar mods and it wasn't there.

I'm sorry- At first I thought you were referring to the Valkyrie as the ship being released- of course I know where to download the XR5! :lol:

so again, Earth only.

If you're not counting the stock system only, that's Earth and Pandora only.

It's quite an interesting thought... I'm not sure if it has been discussed before, but if the Valkyrie TAV were to land on and take off from Earth as well, it would have to deal with two different atmospheric compositions... differing atmospheric density per altitude, etc...

But this is getting off-topic. Back on topic: this ISV looks awesome...

Awesome, can't wait to test this out..

Some Information of Pandora....

Diameter 11447 km
Mass 0.72 Earths
Gravity 0.8 g
Atmospheric density 1.2 Earths
Surface pressure 0.9 atm
Atmospheric Composition:
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide (over 18%), Xenon (5.5%), Methane and Hydrogen Sulfide >1%

i found it here http://james-camerons-avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Pandora

If there will be a VC it would be nice to add some data like radiator temp., Gamma ray radiation, control of superconductors of the alimentation pipes etc...

Does this mean we might be able to configure it in the scenario editor?

It's...beautiful.

I have a question.

In some pictures we can see this: http://www.benprocter.com/picture/i...ram.jpg?pictureId=8071347&asGalleryImage=true

The cargo is near the habitable modules, as your ship.
But I think that when the cargo have to be moved the cargo part moves in order to make safer the maneuvers: http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/images/realdesigns/IsvDiagram12.jpg

Someone can corroborate this? if this is what I say, will your ISV simulate that ?

 

[MaverickSawyer]

The benproctor link is broken.

Where are shuttles kept during the acceleration phases of the trip? They can't just stay docked, so there must be some kind of harness or housing that holds them in place until Venture Star reaches its destination orbit. Right?

Maybe it accelerates/decelerates slowly?

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Not really. they're probably just locked to the spinal truss by clamps and the docking port during the boost and decel burn, since both are at 1.5G.

I can simulate movable cargo and docking module, but it's the secondary task. It depends on the complexity of the all ISVs config.

Next step is VC but it wouldn't be soon.

Model looks heavy. What about framerate?
