Vessel New Glenn addon inspired by BrianJ's Falcon 9

[gattispilot]

I fixed the 2nd stage and fairing. But the auto landing is not fixed. It is basically the Falcon 9 code with adjustments for thrust locations and meshes. I wonder it is because of the non deployable fin on the new glenn?

But here she is set to land on the barge. But she crashes into the ground. And when fuel is used up she uprights?

 

[gattispilot]

This may just be on the trash pile. I can the new glenn to get the payload into space. But the auto landing NOT.
I have tried remaking the falcon word for word and the falcon crashes on the barge. Then my redone falcon counts down but the main engine never ignite.

What should the thrusts,masses, be?

20,000 kg

[th]

Empty mass​

[/th]​

7 be 4 thrusters.

2,400 kN

[th]

Thrust, sea-level​

[/th]​

x7

Not sure if this is correct? this is for MultiStage2015 New Glenn then I can convert to a DLL
EmptyMass=2000000
FuelMass=1180000
Thrust=1680000
BurnTime=211

UGH... I redid the code basically the FAlcon9 with some changes.

But she launches and falls down and down underground

Any ideas?

Hoping @BrianJ can help.
Working on the launch pad. I need to redo the pad area and add building,.....

 

[gattispilot]

So this is what I have so far. The rocket does launch. But I am not sure if the guidance is correct. And auto land may need work also.

Basically I use Brian's code and just change the mass and thrust, meshes.

 

[gattispilot]

It looks like ESCAPADE is the next launch. And it looks like there are 2 Escapades.
I have an Escapade vessel.

But Questions. I need a guidance file.

And on exit Orbiter shut down?

Escapade is small on the New Glenn

 

[gattispilot]

Made changes. I think the NG thrust is too much as it moves the pad. I am going to increase the pad.

I made a Escapade mount and mounted 2 Escapades to her.

 

[gattispilot]

Things I am not sure about. Where the Escapade orbit should be for the NG to get it there?

Auto land is still bad.
it landed in the ocean. it should land on the barge JACKLYN

JPL hasn't yet published detailed trajectory plans for the two EscaPADE probes, but it should follow this one (obviously outdated now, but still)

 

[gattispilot]

What values should the orbit be?

 

[gattispilot]

Trying to figure with Autoland. Using Falcon has a guide.
but on the screen it shows I need 48421.0kg

but when the 1st stage separates. there is very little fuel left? Should there be more? Because the 1st stage burns thru the remaining fuel?

 

[gattispilot]

here is all (I hope). hopefully someone can get the autoland part fixed. I will be out of touch for about 2 months

While in Florida. From a cruise ship i saw the Blue origin launch area and barge. Saw the Viper rover was going to be launched. Hopefully someone can help get the autoland fixed

 

[gattispilot]

Not sure about the size of ESCAPADE. It seems small on the New Glenn. Redid the fairing

 

[gattispilot]

Watched a video and saw the Adapter. Redid some things. No idea what the orbit info should be. Still need to get the first stage to autoland.

 

[BrianJ]

Not sure about the size of ESCAPADE. It seems small on the New Glenn.

Yes, they do look tiny on the launcher! They're only ~1m cube.
Crazy trajectory - I wouldn't know how to plan it in Orbiter.

I was launch maybe the 7th of November. I need to increase mass of the mount to include 2 Escapades.

But not sure about the values.

And no idea how to get the 1st stage to autoland

 

[gattispilot]

I will adjust the scenario for the Nov 9 date.

It is these values not sure what they should be?
