  • Using Kerbal Space Program with realism overhaul I try to get below the 2.6 ton launch vehicle mass which is the same as the SS-520 rocket. Using all real engines, mostly from the 1950's it takes a lot of iteration....

      @AsbestosMuffins 7 років тому +20

      Jett Quasar soviet design tended to be so increadibly centralized that one single person was making the design decision, quality control, inspection procedures, launch conditions ect, it let them jump ahead with the r-7 and vostok but as rockets got more complicated this style became horrendously deficient as korolev's replacement was a raving alcoholic and had basically a competing space program within the soviet union.
      ironically this was the same thing that we did early on with vanguard and jupiter rocket programs but then we rightly recognized the need for one managable program and created NASA out of both and while it did have a director, design decisions were carried out by committee and time was taken for testing

      In the beginning the US was like that but after the Apollo 1 disaster their quality control went way up. The N-1 suffered four failures in a row on a massive rocket, I don't think the American program would have survived such a disaster either.

      @@jamiesmith3396 That's not a suborbital path. Basically, the way to do this is make a giant SSTO that makes it almost to the mun, separate it after putting perigee below Earth's surface, then have a tiny spacecraft that burns a bit extra and goes and orbits the moon.

    No hard to reach mountaintops.

    • @winged
      @winged 7 років тому +13

      That would be an interesting idea. What I know is that you need only 8500 m/s for very high TWR launchers and about 9500 m/s for very low TWR. My personal record is 8400 m/s to orbit.

    • @Hlaford347
      @Hlaford347 7 років тому

      How? What sort of launch profile are you using to get that low del v to orbit?

    • @winged
      @winged 7 років тому +5

      Very shallow ascent profile + high TWR rocket. Fly straight up to 50m/s, then start pitching down, it should look more or less like that:
      50 m/s - pitch 89-90
      350 m/s - pitch 62
      1000 m/s - pitch 40
      Next steps depends on TWR of your second stage.
      First stage TWR needs to be around 1.70 (surface). An example of such vehicle is my Saturn VB MLV used in my Ares Mission to Mars recreation.

    Was following your video on installing RSS. Something wrong with Remote tech, or other things. No throttle control, even with kerbals in a pod. Tried first with sandbox, and RP-0.
    Anyone else experienced this problem? Really wants a working RP-0 install

    Have you made any videos about launching from high altitude balloons to cut down on drag an fuel costs?

      Check Scott's video "Does Launching Rockets From A Mountain Really Help?" from last week. It basically answers that question.
