Silisko,

I have to say that I love your designs, I find it hard to believe that you are only just starting out.

Would you consider doing a tutorial/walk-through on the creation of the MPOD, or barring that making it's code available as an SDK sample?

Speaking as someone who still struggles with the basics, the progress you've made is really quite humbling.

That might be a bit difficult, I have a hard time understanding it myself sometimes =p

Sparrow may be a bit small.

Then again, compare the shuttle with the ISS...

What is it supposed to be: Is it stand alone or is part of a bigger station? Either way, if most of it is internal space, it would be rather spacious compared to ISS modules.

It's looking really good anyways.:thumbup:

It's a general-purpose core module, which can be used on its own, in space stations, or on its own as a small research station.

Here's an MMU for scale:

 

[mojoey]

is it small enough to fit in the shuttle payload bay?

It looks like it...

Of course, it's set to be launched in 2021, so the shuttle will be long gone by then.

I think the question should be, "Can you dock a Dragon to it?"

630 km orbit, 22 degree inclination (0.1 degree from the celestial plane). I need to set up my launch vehicle/barge, so I can reenact them.

Docking a Dragon to it, though, just depends on where you can launch a Falcon from!

 

[Pipcard]

You know what, I think we need more Kerbal add-on developers here on O-F, because they have some nice ideas.

Started making the crew module for the RPM


@Pipcard

I dunno, a lot of KSP players don't like orbiter because of it being a simulator, or it having no collisions or things of that nature.

 

[Pipcard]

Just show them stuff like the XR2 Ravenstar. Or the Arrow. Or any of Kulch's add-ons (Energy project, Universal Cargo Deck, etc.).

No, many of them are so ingrained with the idea of hating it, they will not consider any other option.

 

[Scruce]

Anyway, back on topic. What is the purpose of having a fairing cover for the RPM?

I think the reason many KSP players don't like orbiter is because it's a simulator and it's hard unless you learn it first. Unlike KSP where you can get to orbit with just an engine and four fuel tanks.

The crew module is constructed similarly to the Apollo Lunar Module - reentering with that exposed would be disastrous.

The same applies to returning captured objects.

Did some texture work for the RPM

I jump around too much. Started making a robotic fission-fragment powered solar system exploration vehicle (the Multi-Mission Planetary Explorer)

Assuming 10000kg of spacecraft, 2000kg of fuel, and 0.04c for exhaust velocity, it gives a delta-v of roughly 2300 km/s...

 

[Pipcard]

Thought that last one was a crane at first...

 

[Interceptor]

NovaSilisko,this project is really starting to look good,BTW I am also from Michigan,but I stay here in Florida for the winter,where abouts are you from in Mich?Thanks

 

[NovaSilisko]

Let's vote: Fission Fragment drive, or Orion nuclear propulsion?

One has the potential for ridiculous delta-v, one is incredibly awesome but hard to code.
