landed the helicopter on Duna, but the wings are too low. Break easily if hit the ground too fast.

It's possible, though, to slow down near the ground, stop rotation and land.

Either Ike is cheating, or I calculated the maximum safe orbit within it wrongly.

Ahh, Ikes orbit is probably above Duna's surface, not Duna's center.

no. This had 4 large RWs.

Time to finish the last parts of the Jool expedition and then finally (after a year or so) launch it!
14:45
<

Just had RWs in the capsule. So basically purely propulsive landing without legs.
14:46
<
darsie >
Was a single stage Mun sample return mission.
14:47

Flayer: BTW, putting a battery on the side of the rocket can angel your rocket up for take off.

Much lighter than legs, too.

Good for low gravity like Minmus, Mun, Duna ...

16:40
<

I had to kill it :/
16:41
<
darsie >
using mods?
16:42
<
Mat2ch >
This time mechjeb could be at fault
16:48
<
Mat2ch >
Node in 15d, burn time 14 min. ok.
16:48
<
Mat2ch >
Wasn't there a mod that could split such nodes in multiple smaller ones?
16:48
<
Mat2ch >
mechjeb doesn't seem to have this option.
16:54
<
darsie >
Mat2ch: Is that a departure burn?
16:55
<
Mat2ch >
2k dV to go
16:59
<
darsie >
Single and split burns can get exactly the same results, so some manual intervention is probably necessary.
17:00
<
darsie >
Although, if you set the maneuver and the system displays the result of a split burn, it could work well. Not sure if a mod could do that.
17:00
<
darsie >
Heck, KSP only displays instantaneous maneuvers.
17:02
<
darsie >
Well, a sequence of instantaneous maneuvers would be a compromise.
17:04
<
Mat2ch >
There was a mod
17:04
<
Mat2ch >
and it should be fairly easy to calculate
17:04
<
Mat2ch >
you know where you are in time and when to leave and how fast you need to go there...
17:04
<
darsie >
But Kerbins location changes all the time.
17:05
<
darsie >
And hte location of the target.
17:16
<
packbart >
Mat2ch: there was a kOS script called "MechVel" that could split a node into multiple burns

darsie: all you need is the last node for a start. Then you split it backwards.
17:49
<
Mat2ch >
The theory behind this is that you need a certain speed at a certain point of time (which is a certain point on your orbit)
17:50
<
Mat2ch >
Say at 30 min into your flight you need to be 1500 m/s fast in relation to your current planet you're orbiting
17:50
<
Mat2ch >
well, it can be a moon as well
17:51

that's no moon

hypoxia is the correct term I think

anyway one engine exploded, took out one of the windows too, and you cant hear that in her voice
