[Chub777]

The Shuttle performing the hand-off procedure on Quest:

Quest has docked and one of the four oxygen tanks are attached:

All of the oxygen tanks are now attached:

A heat-shield inspection EVA was later carried out:

Followed by the station arm:

Undocking:

De-orbit and landing later.

The Approach and Landing test vehicle, over KSC approaching the HAC. I may release this bird, before the Jason space worthy ship.

 

[Felipi1205]

It's just beautiful!!

 

[Pipcard]

The MPLM docked to the ISS. (I practiced using the default Shuttle's RMS)

 

[Donamy]

The space worthy Jason returning from it's first orbital 5 day test flight. Notice the scorching on the front of the waist pods. Looks like it will need some Hi-temp tiles or some RCC in that area.

 

[Scav]

Speaking of scorching.



Here's another rotten test shot from Constitution, involving the Starboard-wing Infra-red / Visual spectrum Re-entry Observatory (SIVRO) module built into the top of her starboard rudder. Her companion is PIVRO, which is the same array (a micro video / infra-red camera) only on the other rudder.

My current space station, the International Space Outpost Cetus.

What are those big dishes to the right?

X-15 altitude flight to 110 km, recent separated from the B-52.

(Date: 14-4-1964)

[This is a fictitious date, but the X-15 and the B-52 was ''real'']

Nice filter effect, it makes it look like a real photo from that time period.

Thanks to Liber for making the X-71 (my favorite fictional spacecraft) and GattisPilot for making me a modified Freedom and Independence Mesh. Here's the Independence Movie Accurate

There go, Now I'm debating whether or not to release the 2 meshes as they are not my work. I might though giving credit to its creators obviously. And if I do I'll make it so you have to Download Liber's then replace the mesh. Enjoy

 

[astrosammy]

Nice! Is it possible to use the boosters on top of it like in the movie?
A release would be great, I just created an asteroid that's on a similar trajectory (making a close moon flyby at 10 km/s, and as big as Texas).

 

[Sierra719]

the boosters are just for show

That's right, they're from the Mir-2 1993.

 

[Sierra719]

Here is Independence Launching in sunset Armageddon Style. Notice the date and try and link the date to what is happening in the movie

 

[Mattyv]

Is the World blowing up in ~4 days?:uhh:

 

[Sierra719]

Is the World blowing up in ~4 days?:uhh:

close the story was that in 4 days an asteroid would hit earth, and 2 X-71 Shuttles are sent up to drill to the center of said asteroid plant nukes and blow it in half

 

[n122vu]

You could make the top boosters a separate mesh and use Velcro rockets...

 

[Sierra719]

Problem is it's not my mesh... nor do i posses the knowledge to do that. I just know how to fly
