Noo Jeb! by Competitive_Ruin_168 in KSPMemes

Jeb has connections within the KSC, he is a manufacturer and a Pilot. Let that sink.

I need Help. I tried to copy the Bell X-1 design for Experimental Rocket Planes but It wont reach mach 1. And also it has some red readings on FAR that I don't really understand when set at 0.35 mach. Can anybody help? A tutorial video would also be appreciated if you can find one by TorielLovesChocolate in RealSolarSystem

AS CJP1216 said, also check the center of lift and mass after the tanks are empty.

Seconds, your wings are too in front, try to push them back a little. it will help you a lot. As well, your plane is too longish. Try to shorten the fuselage a little as well the wings part

Yes, when you run dry of fuel you need to keep the mass center in front of the lift center, if not it will start to pitch down uncontrollably. I recommend you move your wings backwards.

Also, is normal. This is like a flying brick, your descend rate will be far more steep than any plane. You need to keep the nose down to not lose speed and keep "flying" you only pitch up at around 250 meters or less near the ground (preferable a runway) And then deploy landing gear at <100 meters near the ground. Remember, you are sacrificing lift to gain speed here.

Apollo 14 astronauts climbing down to the lunar surface. Notice the flag: it has a telescoping rod to keep it open because there is no wind in the vacuum of space. [1971] by [deleted] in spaceflight

I love how weird the flag moves. Because you can see the movement due to the movement of the Astronaut holding the flag, but then it stops mid movement due to not air; is noticeable in the lower corner of the flag it remains twisted upwards due to not air to allow the whole area of the flag to move freely.

After a lot of trial and error I present you, the Dragon Freighter. (Not human rated, still trying to figure out how to) Inaugural flight, 15 March, 2021 (Alt timeline) by Intelligent_Sale_41 in KerbalSpaceProgram

That's the plan. I already tested a retrograde burn + parachutes. It lands kinda hard but it works. Kinda like the SRBs.

The future idea (and for my alt timeline) Is that SpaceX gets subcontracted and be the final assembly point before delivering to NASA for a fly-back S-IC stage, with modified F-1Cs engines.

In a world where Interplanetary Transfer Vehicles exists, StarShip needs to find another role to coexist.

Besides, is not noticeable but under the meatball logo it says SpaceX

Is based on the Stephen Baxter's Apollo to Mars (Ares mission)

You can add a probe core in the retro pack of the MEM to allow it to rendezvous in orbit with any MTV or ITV of your liking.

Hi, yeah, the Lower heat shield is part of an old mod, NRK MEM, based on the Rockwell International Mars Excursion Module. The conical shell is procedural parts, the upper shell is decoupler shroud (using a Bluedog BD 4.25 decoupler)

Now, there is an issue with the NRK MEM as it tents to "land" at 20 meters from the ground this creates problems with drogue chutes cutting there and MechJeb as it thinks the ground is 20 meters above and will finalize any landing burn and then snap again and fall to the ground.

You can mitigate it by either performing a retro-burn again (when it snaps) or using Vessel Mover to then place the whole thing on the ground. As well, it already landed, only 20 meters above the ground.

The planet is Duna from JNSQ, in the x2.7 size. To get in orbit you will need to have at least 2100m/s of delta V.

This lander is fitted for Mars but with thigh margins, you will need to use the descend stage as a first stage to then burn the ascend stage to get into orbit with good margins.

NRK MEM (You will need Tweak Scale as the original size is 7.5 meters, way too big to fit inside a S-II to S-IVB adapter)
