Vessel XM-273

[mojoey]

I had an idea, and as im absolutley horrible at coding, Im hoping you guys can help.

1. The Main Vessel is a pencil shape craft, with extendable wings embedded with solar panels on either side of the ship. On top behind the cockpit is an emergency docking ring. The main docking collar will be behind it. Then a cabin for the UMMU. Then a cargo bay, that opens like the space shuttle, it will hold the baggage and supplies. It has hover engines underneath the nose and engine compartment. The powerhouse is 3 main engines. All mounted on the back. Thrusters on the front back and sides. Pads will be underneath the nose and engines. They will have landing gear inside them for a runway landing.

2. The Launch Vehicle is a large wing shape with a depression in the center where the main vessel rests. It has 5 main engines. The Vehicle is to stay attached during launch trans earth injection and the trip home. The Main Vessel can dock but not transfer UMMU. The Launch Vehicle will carry ALOT of fuel. The vehicle will have to be able to withstand reentry. Once through the atmosphere it will be jettisoned, and parachutes will deploy, allowing it to be re used.

If anyone can help, I would be forever grateful

I suppose i should add that there will be three crew

Could you do a simple drawing to show us better what you mean? If someone were to mesh this with just that, you may get a different end-result than what you may want.

I dont have an exact design thats kinda what im wanting to work on with someone. Think Flying wing mixed with 1:2 saturn v is about what im going for in terms of outward design

No design = no result.

i get a general idea, but wings embedded with solar panels? im not so sure that would work, the solar panels can get destroyed on reentry through an atmosphere. Also with the stuff you've written i cant imagine how it can balance while landing. I get an image in my head, but maybe not the same as you think. You will have create a picture(maybe a friend of yours?),

The wings are pop out and will be discarded before reentry so the stabitlity isnt a problem, the wings are for low atmosphere planets. imagine shuttle like bays on the side where they pop out

Well if you want someone to do this, you've got to have something to work with, not just words.
Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words.

In regards to saying you need help with coding, go look in the tutorial section. Since anyone who has the time to basically code a ship for you, is probably working on a project already. Anyway, there is a subsection for addon developers. You can use spacecraft3 as an alternative to coding a .dll yourself, there are some good tutorials by ar81 in there. Don't forget you need to model whatever you have planned, so keep that in mind, too. But, you should probably know that already since the tutorial tab is neatly on top of the page, and a logical place to look, right?

Also, you said you discard the wings before reentry, but you mentioned runway landing in your first post. Last I checked a pencil shape isn't a lifting body. Unless you aren't going for realism.
