Nice vessel, seems quite realistic for a Mars landing mission.

Not really, because there's nothing to land with. :lol:

Still working on that bit. Suggestions are helpful!

How do you manage the rcs?

Translation RCS on the Nerva2. It's very overpowered. >.>

I would definitely have used the TI Ares, but it's not nearly large enough.

SoyuzTMA in final approach :

That's my 4th successful launch & docking of Soyuz/Progress in a row. I think I'm getting proficient at it (more than 50% fuel left after docking).

I use maximum 10x time acceleration, sometimes I just let Orbiter simulating while I'm at work.

What is it you did to your HUD in those screenshots? The buttons are slimmer and rounded.

Tis so lonely out here...

 

[Izack]

How did you get out there? :blink:

If I'm seeing the image right, you're way off the Ecliptic.

That was after a Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune sling with a pass over the top of Neptune to Triton. I advanced the date many years after passing Neptune, so it's hard to see from that angle, but yea I'm a long ways out of the solar system. My launch date was in 1977 same as Voyager. I passed Neptune in 1989 and the date in that screen shot above is Jan 2011.
