Ships from Literature

The spaceship 'Galileo' gets its shuttle ready to explore a habitable moon of a gas giant of a distant star.

The 'Galileo' is featured in Allen Steele's novel Spindrift. This is a simplified model of the websites cover shot, using a standard DeltaGlider as shuttle and Donatelo's Upsilon Andromedae as star system.

The EASS Galileo is using its fusion drive just above the atmosphere of a gas giant, slowing down its speed to rendevous with a potentially habitable moon. The large ring is not a centrifuge, but part of the futuristic 'diametric drive' which allowed the Galileo to travel with a significant fraction of the speed of light between solar systems.

The EASS Galileo low above Phobos. The ship's shadow is visible on the ground below.

Bruce is ready

Sunrise at Olympus Base

Nice, you have a base upgrade there.

Nice, you have a base upgrade there.

Works perfectly in 2016. Just remove the surface tile included.

Some of my pics !

Hey, I want to post some pictures too !

And I did that two weeks ago, I dont know why.

EDIT : En route to my first interplanetary voyage, in direction of Saturn ! :O

Look at the size of this thing!

XR-2 dwarfed by XR-5 in LEO

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 !

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 am so happy right now. :lol:

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?

Haumea

Haumea with ring, according to latest discovery.

 

[boogabooga]

How did you get the ring?

 

[T1234]

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
