KSP Challenge - Launch To Orbit Without Any Controls

  • From a live stream - I abused the new mission editor to control the rocket and launch a spacecraft into orbit. The mission editor can activate stages, measure altitude and time so by setting up the right launch conditions a vessel can be placed into a stable orbit. Although it took a few 'simulations' to make it work :)

    Looks like it would be trivial for Squad (or a modder) to create a stock answer to KOS, making a visual programming language to control rockets. Just add a few more triggers and functions and the existing mission builder could be used for full automation.

      It's probably going to be trickier than it looks (because, as a rule, everything technical is), but if there's enough demand...

      i would like a block scripted autopilot much better for that purpose, the mission builder feels more like a content creation tool but that might just be me.

      @user-rh8hi4ph4b 6 років тому +13

      Yes. Even though i'd too prefer bindings to regular languages (which exists as a mod), i can't picture how that would fit nicely into stock KSP. But a visual programming method, like is used in education sometimes (ie LEGO Mindstorm) could fit very nicely. Would also add to KSP's educational character.

    Hi Scott, I have a question, not sure where to ask it.
    As we all already know the Chinese space station is tumbling in space and is expected to fall down into the atmosphere in a few weeks, assuming that we will have some debris surviving reentry and land on the ground. What will be the velocity on the debris when it hits the ground?
    I know it will not be near orbital velocity since the atmosphere is dragging it and slowing it down, but do we have the calculation how much drag it gets and how much it slowed down? maybe to a test on Kerbal...

      If you're in orbit in the higher part of the atmosphere (65~70 km), you can stay there quite a while. If you're in a plane, it depends of your design, but I'm guessing around 1 round trip max. (and that would take very long to complete)
