Arrow Freighter class Gaia MK2 made it to Saturn !

Wow I forgot how big the XR5 was ! Good pics. :thumbup:

By the way, I MADE IT ! :woohoo:

Thank you Holy Probe ! :hailprobe:

Gaia MK2, the Arrow Freighter build by Spacetech for the Agence Spatiale Francophone finally arrived to Saturn after 5 years of voyage ! :)

And it is my first successful interplanetary voyage with IMFD, the other one was with a DGIV to Jupiter with the vanilla Transfer MFD.

Here is some pics !

I seem to remember the XR5 being affectionately referred to in the past as a space whale or something like that. It's the inspiration for one of the 3 spacecraft ideas I've been tossing around in my head recently called the Orca. Going to need to get some sort of CFD package working before that one becomes a reality though.
 
A small flight for you, a milestone for this noob ;)

Nothing to write home about, but here are some pictures of my first close-encounter with Mars, flying the XR2.

Taught me a lot about TransX, much more than what I thought I had understood doing Earth-Moon runs.

Proper Mars landings are still a challenge though :rofl:

Were the Delta-glider (stock, XR1, DGIV), XR2, and XR5 even simulated in CFD?

I used anim8tor ring script,set the length to zero so the texture is uniform.The transparent texture is not recognized in orbiter so use some emissive then copy/paste ring then flip normals.:thumbup:
 
Another shot from STS-88
Zarya in russian means "sunrise" and here we are: this shot has been taken at orbital sunrise on December 7th 1998 at 02:45 UTC and the Shuttle RMS has just ungrappled Zarya after berthing her to Unity. This is somehow the birth of the ISS

Lockheed Martin's Mars Ascent / Descent Vehicle is approaching for docking with its nose cone wide open. Olympus Mons is visible on the horizon beyond.
