Idea Lunar Prospector, Athena II and Cape Canaveral SLC-46

gattispilot · Mar 10, 2019

Are there plans for it?

Jeremyxxx · Mar 10, 2019

To have the launch complex modeled to support the Athena II.

gattispilot · Mar 10, 2019

I mean any drawings for the pad and tower

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------

So this is what I have for the ini. So I might have missed a conversions from tonnes to KG. now a ctd when 3rd stage should ignite?

Still will need help on the guidance

I have found the image of SLC-46 that can be used as a reference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Athena-2_-_Lunar_Prospector_1.jpg

PhantomCruiser · Mar 10, 2019

I think the launch site in Alaska looked much the same? :shrug:

In the patent filing for the LMLV (Lockheed Martin Launch Vehicle AKA Athena) there's some drawings of another launch platform, it almost looks like a few cargo containers. That's be neat to see in Orbiter, and maybe possible once Fred18 releases his next project.

gattispilot · Mar 11, 2019

So to proper build the launch pad really it should be flat. But a concrete area could be built. It looks like a pad and a tower and a MAS are needed.

But not sure why the rocket ctds. On

Not sure what the guidance needs to be.
I have this now:

Code:

20=Orbit(195,315)
101=fairing()

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Fixed. But I think the guidance needs work. On the LP press 3 to extend the arms. Thrust exhaust may need work also.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=185kYMkRE6G3gUjXXmziiYPtUL4YHWE4_

I think this might be the pad?

Updated the ini and the lp module. This is about all I can do:

If we had a mesh might could try to build the MAS with Vessel Builder.

We have a problem! Lunar prospector is invisible. CTD just like Chang'e 4

Can you post the log?

That is weird. I know others have gotten it to work? So can you load it via scn editor.

Jeremyxxx · Mar 27, 2019

It's probably due to my computer being so old.

not sure why that would be the case? Not sure why the module is not loading though?
