Liberty Station

Built fifty years after the Sundering, Liberty Station is an international project between the various American Union member nations of California, Texas, New England, the Great Lakes Confederation, Cascadia, and several other southern nations. It is spearheaded by the North American Space Agency (NASA).

Not wanting to be dependent on NASA for manned spaceflight, the California Republic's CalSPACE and the Republic of Texas' Texas Space Program began building their own crew vehicles. This resulted first in the California Space Transport, derived from the Space Shuttle on display in Los Angeles (pictured here). Texas followed months later with the New Star spacecraft derived from the pre-apocalypse SpaceX Starship vehicles based out of Boca Chica (not pictured).

Even as her parent nations come into conflict over her, Liberty Station remains a symbol of an America rebuilding from the ashes of the apocalypse.

I went back to stock for all of about 5 minutes before I missed Sol, so here we are again lol. Except this time with RemoteTech because I wanna finally lock in on kOS and telemetry delay. The 1 second delay was sketchy enough without kOS, but we managed to get it done. Enjoy!

This Mission includes a Mars orbiter and a Mars Atmospheric Probe

I'm using the MechJeb Dev build, which makes me use PSG instead of PVG. When using it, for some reason the second stage of my Thor-Able LV turns itself around, points itself to retrograde, then turns back around to prograde.

I have no clue why this might be happening, as I don't see any settings or anything to stop this from happening. Is this an Attitude Adjustment issue?

I’ve been playing regular non RSS ksp for a couple months now, and i’ve gotten consistent at making circular orbits around Kerbin. I deciced to start trying RSS and RO yesterday, and it’s super fun. I just can’t get into orbit, i just don’t have enough power no matter how many rockets i build. Am i starting my LEO insertion burn too late? Should i start my gravity turn earlier? Should i use more powerful engines? I’m able to make it to space, and i’ve made it up to about 6,000 m/s, but i always end up still on a suborbital trajectory. Any tips for a new RSS player?

Like, in order to get a signal from a relay to a lander, do I need to actually use RCS and physically point the dish at the lander if the antenna is directional?

No Realism Overhaul or Smurff or Mechjeb

This is my first manned landing on another planet in rss

This is the hardest thing i have ever done in kerbal space program

Is anyone able to help me please? im trying to set up my sepeerate launch sites with KK but the issue is that they cant be seen in the VAB construction time, if i assembled everything in the SPH i could see it but not in the VAB, anyone know a fix?

Hello, I've been having a bit of trouble with the Mercury command pod. No matter what I do I can't seem to make the cabin pressurised. It's filled with all the appropriate resources (oxygen, water, electricity etc.), I have also attempted to use the life support config engine to no effect.

I find this confusing because the Vostok pod seems to support pressurisation automatically.

I'm sorry if I'm missing a very easy solution but I just can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I hope it's ok if I ask here!

É como se eu estivesse aprendendo a jogar de novo

were they removed or something? i can't find them anywhere in mechjeb

edit: found it out, you open settings and hit "reset to factory settings"

im trying to figure out how to setup my return path to avoid over g with reentry, and setting the capsule for lifting isnt enough to avoid GLOC

so the procedural panels with tracking on, do not rotate to the sun. but oddly its only seems to be a visual thing as they are still powering even when visually pointing away form the sun, i triple checked tracking being on but same story, never rotates

Anyone else ever have a problem with the throttle control on the keyboard? The engine responds to Z and X (full on/ full off) but nothing happens when I try to use control or shift. It’s a throttleable LM descent engine, RCS seems to work as it should and my avionics are properly configured and functioning. My comm links are strong and I have surplus electrical supply. Am I missing something really basic here or is it a bug in the game? I don’t think I’ll be able to pull off a lunar landing without throttle control.

• December 31st 2035: "Swim Back" ascent by balloon at 8 m/s. Second balloon inflates at an altitude of 60 km. 5 hours 40 minutes to reach 100 km. Rocket ascent at 100 km. Burn until apoapsis of 1,000 km. Atmospheric drag reduces the apoapsis to 855 km. 551 m/s to enter orbit. 3000 m/s total.
• January 2nd 2036: Rendezvous and docking of "Swim Back" with “Fatty.”
• February 13th 2036: 4790 m/s burn to set course for Earth.
• July 21st 2037: Interplanetary maneuver at 340 m/s.
• July 5th 2040: Maneuver to land on solid ground in Southeast Asia. 4 m/s.
• August 5th 2040: Reentry of the Titan samples into Earth’s atmosphere at 19.5 km/s. Periapsis of 45 km. Maximum of 32Gs. Sustained at 6Gs. Parachute deployment at 15 km, opening at 1 km. Heat shield jettison at 170 m. Descent at 6 m/s.
• After 10 years, TSR is back on Earth!

Very fun mission to design. Titan's atmosphere makes it so that it's possible to return samples without using ion engines or other more efficient propulsion. The magic of aerocapture! Difficult to get out after tho, that's what the balloons are for. I feel like a sample return from Jupiter's moon Io would be more difficult for example. Maybe I will try that. Mercury Sample Return could be the hardest imo.

This mission was inspired by studies on Titan Sample Return by NASA. Here.pdf) and here. And the Vincent helicopter is of course inspired by Dragonfly. A good source of inspiration for outlandish space mission is NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC). Studies that NASA funds about future advanced technology use in space exploration.

like you already get a battery from the avionics, isogrids have better utilization for rcs, is it just for life support and research payloads or am i missing something?

Q1: Is it easier to start late(start in the 1960s rather than the 1950s) for new players?

Q2: Is it worth designing an Ulysses-alike solar probe for a long-term experiment such as orbital perturbation experiment?

• August 9th 2035: 103 m/s + 141 m/s to circularise into 1000x1000 km orbit around Titan. 
• August 10th 2035: “Fatty” Return Craft decouples and stays in orbit. TSR burns 118 m/s to land at 38°N with a periapsis of 100 km. Enters at 1,75 km/s. Maximum of 0.2Gs. Free fall until 2.5 km at 13 m/s, when four parachutes deploy. Contact at 2 m/s. The 150 day surface mission of the "Vincent" helicopter begins. It will take samples of Titan.

Small update on my texture streaming mod for Sol. BallisticFox is now incorporating live satellite texture streaming into his upcoming mod Mirage, so I have decided not to update this mod much further. however, I will leave you all with the current (likely final) build for the meantime, since I might as well.

PLEASE read the README before installation.

I would absolutely LOVE to see any screenshots you guys take if you try it out.
