... like a homesick angel. Go baby!

Some more screwing around with planets. Also are gray-scales usable in the orbiter beta? Because it would be really neat to test these planets out in it.

That last one, oh baby that looks awesome.

I cant wait for when this semester is finished and I will actually have time to do some probe-lovin Orbiter flyin.

Haha yea college has been brutal so any work on this stuff is painfully slow. Plus mine-craft has also been pulling away my time. :lol:

 

[Spacethingy]

Luckily, Orbiter doesn't simulate British weather... *sigh* This'll be the best I get this morning I reckon...

EDIT: But then, the clouds thinned a little, and oh boy... Eclipses are awesome!

Here's a panorama from the floor of spectacular Dao Vallis in the southern hemisphere of Mars, taken at approximately local noon about 150 meters northeast of the Pegasus Ares lander. Several surface tools and two astronauts are visible, as is a geological work site in right-center.

One might imagine the sediment here was deposited by the large volumes of water that once gushed through this ancient outflow channel, as well as the frequent dust storms in the Red Planet's atmosphere.

Progress M-55 burning up.
It did us well.

You can never have enough Orion pics.

This week is "Super Spaceflight Launch Week" with 6 launches inside 65 hours! OF Spaceflight News Channel will provide extensive live coverage of all of them starting Wednesday evening GMT. :tiphat:

A reentry I captured.

Final pass before deorbit.

Starting the reentry.

Heating up

Peak nose temperature.

Approaching Florida

Turning towards KSC for HAC.

After a very(very) bad HAC, I'm nearing final approach.

Aligning with the runway.

Gear down.

Touchdown!

Let's go to space, shall we?

What add-on is that? It looks like N_Molson's "DG-Launcher USA" but it isn't....

 

[Cras]

Is that N_Molson's "DGIV-Launcher"?

It is the external tank mesh form it, but I have since changed some textures to it and pretty much rebuilt it in velcro to make it do what I need it to do. The ET feeds both its own engine as well as the main engines on the XR-2, and those are SRBs from....I actually dont remember where those came from, EELV maybe?

The flight is then controlled using Launch MFD by the most excellent Enjo.

1974: Apollo 20 commander Stu Roosa surveys the floor at Tycho base, shortly after stepping off the footpad on EVA-1. The LM's long early-morning shadow is prominent in Roosa's visor. Seriously, D3D9 is killer. Seriously.

HATSUNE at dawn.

Tycho, where did you get that scenario and the Tycho crater?

Tycho, where did you get that scenario and the Tycho crater?

Downloaded 4th rock's excellent tycho mesh [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6134"]here[/ame] and slapped it into an AMSO scenario, adjusted base coordinates appropriately (the base is technically called 'Copernicus', but it's at Tycho crater), put the AS-515 landing site tiles (with the craters/surface details) on a flat part of the mesh, added some boulders for character and landed on it. I've got the scenario and base config saved, so I can easily paste them here if you'd like.

He used [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6549"]this Apollo 20 mod[/ame].

 

[Tycho]

He used this Apollo 20 mod.

Actually, that addon (which is terrific) puts you on the side of the crater. I tweaked things around, creating my own scenario with AMSO and 4th rock's mesh to let me land on the floor, which makes for quite a spectacular approach during PDI.
