OHM Space Launch System for Orbiter 2016 0.1.2

Years ago when I was part of the Constalation team I told them that Apollo 11s biggest problem was it didnt really take all of us with it. Only a little TV and pretty grainy which was odd sence 3 months later Apollo 12 took a color camera and the J missions all had a remote control camera on the rover . My Idea was to add a camera called " Golden Eye" to the outside of the CM so to see these pictures is awesome.

I place cameras at the tips of the wings. On the gray side not blue side. Not sure if really there also.

So on the launch in F1 view rotate the view down. Seem the camera might be too high? Here rotated the view

 

[gattispilot]

Also I think I can just put GMT and MET on the timer

I think an event timer would require more buttons to set the timer digits

Shots of the Orion.

Going to rebuilt the SM. Going to use a white foil for the bottom. But solar panels need a new texture.

 

[gattispilot]

Now MET and GMT

 

[gattispilot]

Trying to find some good images of the solar panels to make into a texture

The closest ones would be the prelaunch images and the Earthview images we have so far

 

[gattispilot]

Maybe like this. Panels are to be 2x2 meters, Not sure how much I need to do. Like cut out the area around the panels. At the top of the panels is a white structure. I guess that is the camera?

you might think about adding the star trackers back there and take a look at the insulation near the OMS

 

[gattispilot]

Yes. I can. It looks like the covering on the Connector is more square. Not sure about the HGA antenna?

 

[barrygolden]

Yes no word on the HGA and can't see any thing looking like one

Hi. So this intrigued me and I did a bit of googling. I am surprised that it is not easy to find good information on Orion's antennas, but I found something. There is no HGA, instead several phased-array antennas. See the attached screenshot taken from this youtube video:

 

[barrygolden]

Sounds like that solved the HGA issue. thanks a bunch

 

[gattispilot]

Found this of the folded panels

 

[barrygolden]

Not sure about these

 

[gattispilot]

I think what you labeled fuel port is the connector port.

Looking at the SM. The star tracker is below the connector with is more square than round. The solar panels are angled 60 degrees. They are 30 degrees off the center. What I can't tell is there is a box near the star tracker. But seems there is another box as the star tracker is not in it?

 

[gattispilot]

See the box underneath But no star tracker?

Box but no esa/nasa. There are 2 boxes One near the star tracker

 

[barrygolden]

I think your right about the star tracker and I wonder if those boxes are the phased arrays cant tell if that is the SM CM connection but it could be

Just took a closer look and your also right that has to be the SM CM connection port. It's off set from the RCS pods

Hi,
as @carlosriera has noted, using my guidance file for the Artemis 1 launch, targeting 34deg.inc. (originally made for 06:04 UTC liftoff), doesn't give the right LAN for the actual liftoff time of 06:47:44 UTC.
Inclination should be 30.5deg.

Also, the ICPS does not have enough dV for the TLI burn. This can be solved by raising the pre-TLI parking orbit to ~2100km.
(Although it may be that the ICPS is underpowered or overweight?).

The following guidance file solves these issues....

-10.000 =orbit(150,2200,30.5,1.00,72,0.00)
-5.000 =engine(0.00,100.00,5.00,0.00,0.00,0.00)
0.000 =engine(100.00,100.00,1.00)
30 =pitch(71.63, 64.40, 10.0)
40 =engine(100.00,85.00,3.00)
40 =pitch(64.40, 57.62, 10.0)
43 =engine(85.00,85.00,1)
50 =pitch(57.62, 51.34, 10.0)
60 =pitch(51.34, 45.69, 10.0)
70 =pitch(45.69, 40.70, 10.0)
80 =engine(85.00,95.00,3.00)
80 =pitch(40.70, 36.19, 10.0)
83 =engine(95.00,95.00,1.00)
90 =pitch(35,5,170)
260 =pitch(5,10,50)
310 =pitch(10,20,165)
420 =engine(95.00,60.00,4.00)
424 =engine(60.00,60.00,1.00)
475 =pitch(20,18,30)
495 =engine(0,0,1.00)

Cheers,
