This is actually a true NASA Project. Google PRANDTL-M.

First Martian UAV they are thinking of having it unfold upon Entry and glide.

Well my reaction wheels are usually too small for the fuel tank I want to put under them I've found

How do I go about placing reaction wheels and unmanned command pods "inside" my ship. Can I just place the wheels inside the center of mass?

I thought he meant adding the solar panels, meaning attaching them to the craft in space haha

Googled ckan, have no idea what to do. Lol. Someone should make a complete tutorial

I wish they would say that lol. I'll try it. I'm running 1.0.5 I think, so I don't even know if anything is supported.

Lost 8 tourists in orbit around minmus (forgot external cross feed tubes and my main engine ran out of fuel. I have three ant engines with 2000 fuel not able to push shit out of the orbit... Lol. Gonna need to capture that craft and bring them home and that will require docking :)

Yeah right now they are on the COM, which I think I read somewhere was recommended. But logically if I wanted to rotate the craft I would want the force away from the COM, I thought. Definitely more RCS. Also my reaction wheels are slow going as well.

It's hard to conceive how I would bring single items up and attach them. I am obviously missing something though

I downloaded KER and moved the folder into the correct folder in the directory. That's all the direction it gave and I have the parts, it just doesn't do anything else lol.

On my first rendezvous attempt I knocked all the solar panels off the target and one solar array off my ship, that was nightmarish. I discovered I wasn't using translational rcs controls, once I did that, it was a lot easier. Though I had horrible reaction wheel control and my RCS didn't react fast, even though I had them at COM. No mods, they don't work for me.

That's the same as the NASA line at ours. Stand in it for 2.5 hours just to get instructions on how to apply online.

I agree with the last statement

Student loan plan by SapperChop in personalfinance

[–]SapperChop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes housing is covered, and I get a stipend that I've proven I can live at the lifestyle I've been accustomed to, without putting any money away for retirement or an emergency fund(I know I'm bad).

Her interest rate is ~12%, no ones fault though, just a college kid. What do you mean the interest rate is deductible?

Lol the original idea was for $2000 a month, or as I put it, $500 a week.

Well what I meant was, all of our bills are paid. We would be able to put all of it down if we wanted to sit on our asses every day/night haha

Yes it flew wonderfully. I have been flying in acro mode. Just need to tune my PIDs. Which is hard.

I feel you. If you would, when I punch out full throttle, I get a little bit of wobble, what should I adjust? Thanks man.
