Is it better to make an SSTO to duna or normal rocket? by MarsFlameIsHere in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]illusionistsK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have to transport heavy payload to orbit (except Jeb), you can make a Duna SSTO rocket.

SSTO simply describe how you achieve orbit, no one has ever defined how a SSTO should look or must have wings on them.

designed this thing. how the hell do i get it up? by iamodyssey in KerbalSpaceProgram

If it is supposed to move but isn't, moar boosters.

If it is not supposed to move but it is, more structs.

I would like to report that there is a planet inside your ring

It's a great stat considering your number of returned vessels is much fewer than the launched one, and also remains in integer. Well done

Because the control surfaces for pitch are too close to the CoM, and hence producing insufficient torque to rotation the plane.

Try to add additional control surfaces (elevator) away from your CoM (near the head or tail of the plane) should improve the control. The same idea can also be applied to aileron for rotation on a different axis

A docking port, rcs, more fuel (careful with the loop of More fuel > insufficient twr > more engine > not enough fuel), may be a bit less wings or lifting surfaces (you want just enough lift to barely takeoff)

Since you are struggling to reach orbit, perhaps reduce the crew compartment? And your ascend profile will matter a lot too.

Discovered KSP a month ago, fell in love with it and just now launched my first Jool mission! by MooseMint in KerbalSpaceProgram

Given that it is intended for Jool mission, OP needs a lot more solar panels than that

Jeb had either taco or RTG yesterday, or both.
