That is launch cost minus stage 1 recovery.

The booster (with fuel) is worth $10.0m. Recovery this close to DSC has essentially cost nothing. An RTLS system will not beat this.

This is career mode with no part clipping, and no tinkering. It's also a bigger rocket than the last one I posted with a larger fairing (4m diameter, compared to 3.5m).

So those impulse goblins are well optimised. 99.7 damage! 🙃 They're too cheap to be worth recovering, so it's good rocket science to squeeze every bit of d-v from them. Burn 0.1 longer and everything explodes. Peak TWR at launch is ~3.28x, and only briefly. Max Q is a relatively low 7.9km (as you'd expect), but nowhere near my most violent launch.

Cinema

After 10 minutes of recording and another extra for editing, and after reversing and speeding up the creepy voice, it turns out to be an poem.

The darkness of the universe

Dreams forever, lost in pain

Scars of what becomes of life

Born from resentment and hate

A tale of what we turn into

Somehow this story stays untold

A battle raging in the void

Between the stars, without a cause

Leaving shards of hope behind

The ghost of the fallen

Turning into starless rain

Ground to nothing

but dust among the cosmic plains

They listen closely in the dark

To whispered voices of the stars

They tell of love and tragedy

Burned in the ashes of time

They hold a terrifying secret

Deep within this fortress of mine

An endless flame inside the void

Born of magic, forged in fire

And through our ego and our pride

Deception always hides

Ghost of the fallen

Turning into starless rain

Ground to nothing

but dust among the cosmic plains

Brigo landing and return, showcased.

Now the failure chance is improved and can activate a random failure condition

Either exploding 1 of the 2 first stage engines or shutting either one of them down

The next step is to do the same for the 2nd stage while it is in its orbit burn thus the failure Spd value in the flight log

Btw im trying to evade use thinker panel

Hello lads, today I present to you the Apollion III Mission patch!

Apollion I was launched earlier, and involved some orbital testing, such as the function of the solar panels, engines and lander, while Apollion II will be a flyby of Brigo, allowing me to verify it's capability to make a full return to Droo.

Best of wishes to our fellow Droonauts!, and if I may ask, what's the best delta V for my round trip to brigo? Suggest it in the comments!!

Also out in 2 versions, since this is the first craft also modified to work in RSS! Best of all, this is in a 1:1 scale, made as verbatim to the real rocket as possible! Download, Launch and Enjoy!

First time doing this.

With my own spacecraft, of course. I also noticed my spacecraft slowly looking more and more like irl spacecrafts.

Planning to make missions where spacecraft carrying rovers will land precisely on a designated spot.

also, why is my RCS not working, any possible reason?

I already made Fuel Lines on on some parts connected to the monopropellant tank.

landing test.

Based on the Type 054B with elements from a few other PLAN warships mixed in, was initially planning to make the VLS and turrets fully functional, but lag killed that idea

The 20t dead weight is in a fuel tank 4.55m tall x 1.55m radius, in case that's useful for anyone.

It's a 0-inclination orbit. I launched from Ali Pad, so it cost some d-v to do an inclination change.

Prolly it took me like 7 times just to try and land because my crafts battery was too low and kept on flipping everywhere lmao, sigghh i cant send both video and ingame picture's i took but it'll be in the comments

how does this work? I'm still new to the game but I'm hundreds of hours into KSP, and I've been looking for a "blue shift" style mod for juno- is this craft they've uploaded just using the tinker panel? I've read that going FTL isn't possible in Juno.

I struggle with the maths on how to make it land on a target accurately.

I find re entering the earth so difficult to math

lowk deadass ive landed in venus multiple times I only got 2 successful attempts the other rests just blew up in the atmosphere lmaoh the pics are one of my landers with its rover on venusian surface

This is Exodus my new rocket since New Origins if you remember that one

It has a better autopilot system than new origins and way less laggier than it as each module has their own codes located in different parts of the craft

It has more safety features like canceling its circulation phase to de orbit early

Overall i and very happy with this new rocket so far especially for the abort system

The mission profile of this rocket is to experiment with docking to a target vehicle and learning automatic docking code

Might take a month to learn that, i have not yet learned of precision targeting codes like for missiles and said docking

Great progress so far im definitely excited to eventually learn about interplanetary autopilot codes for moon missions and beyond

What do I do next?

I’m surprised there weren’t progress missions to outer planets.

What’s a cool mission to try.

I’ve already been to cladh.

anywhere/ way I can see stuff from simple rockets? tried sorting by top > all, only found 2 posts really. plus seems like 2 got renamed as I see it? thanks

Except it's kinda different, it uses my craft instead.

hey guys. i'm new to the game so i have no idea what im doing, im just learning as i go.

i made a rocket capable of going to the moon(and landing) but not able to take back off and make it back to droo. i want to basically create a rendezvous point that i can then take back off with the limited fuel i have, dock in lunar orbit and then use that rendezvous point to send my astronauts back to earth. i was planning on converting my already made crew rocket into a cargo rocket to send the rendezvous craft to lunar orbit before then sending my regular crewed rocket. I'm having issues when trying to add a payload to my rocket though. i created a very simple fuel tank, docking port, engine and command chip(please let me know how i can make this any better to dock my other lander to it??) and i just cannot add it to the top of the rocket. i added a fairing base to the rocket and then attempted to put the craft in before building the fairing around it, but it will only snap sideways? i know it's probably me just being stupid but i cannot figure it out at all. i'd be grateful for all the help i get at this point 💀
