ok, so I think I have a working reentry vehicle
<leudaimon>
It's serious overkill though

stratochief|away is now known as stratochief
<stratochief>
leudaimon: tends to be, yeah. although with a tiny avionics unit and procedural heatshield, you might be able to make it itty bitty
<Bornholio>
My new career first RV goes up in 2 minutes. Named exploder I. Likely result.
<leudaimon>
stratochief, problem is I don't have a heatshield yet >.>
<soundnfury>
Bornholio: I may have also used that name a few times in the past ;)
<stratochief>
I still have trouble believing that Thor-Agena or Atlas-Agena launched super-powered Earthgazing telescopes into orbit. then, it took pictures onto fucking film which was realed into a seperate canister, which seperated from the telescope and returned to Earth in a tiny bucket RV, then caught by the chutes lines by a fucking plane
<stratochief>
but then again, about once a month I get the head spinnies, remembering that trump is president of america.
<soundnfury>
leudaimon: oh, you're another of these people doing reentry without shields, same as kathannell
<soundnfury>
(freaks, both of you)
<leudaimon>
lol
<soundnfury>
just you wait, I've got a game plan that'll blow your minds (if Agathorn doesn't blow up mine)
<Bornholio>
can i make a polar orbit with 10.16kdV from the cape?
<leudaimon>
I'm using my moon orbiter modified... the TLI and lunar insertion stage will work as a boostback for the original lunar impactor probe with parachutes
<Bornholio>
Lunar impactors must have parachutes....
<soundnfury>
Bornholio: depends. What's your TWR like?
<leudaimon>
nope Bornholio, I added them for the reentry module... removed the kick motor that reduced periselene, and put the parachute
<Bornholio>
twr 1.38 for 4k, 0.5 for 6k
<soundnfury>
If you're doing a modern hydrolox-starting-at-0.4TWR, then that might be cutting it tight
<soundnfury>
I reckon polar from the cape is about 4-500m/s more than eastward with the same LV
<Bornholio>
xlr-81 vacuum's for upper, hope to circ on rcs if possible
<soundnfury>
wait, how does your agena manage to start at 0.5? Are you running way past burn time?
<soundnfury>
(a full 4-minute Agena B starts at like 0.8 or something iirc)

<xShadowx>
soviets really are the better at space?
<soundnfury>
Bornholio: then that really should be about 1.0twr unless you've got a waaay heavy payload on top. Are you maybe looking at SLT / atmospheric TWR?

stratochief: ye
* waerloga
finally breaks down and starts up rp0 1.2.2 install
<soundnfury>
Pap: yeah, you're even deader than me :/
<Bornholio>
or it blows up the launchpad...
<soundnfury>
Bornholio: right, then you're probably more like 9.2, 9.3 eastward (I'm assuming that first stage is kerolox or storable, so mass goes down faster than a higher-Isp vehicle)
<soundnfury>
which makes for maybe 9.8 to polar, so you'll be fine with 10.16
<Bornholio>
good, assuming i can find the kraken bait my competition put in it...
<Rokker>
stratochief: i hope they retire one of the X-37Bs soon
<stratochief>
Rokker: is SpaceX intending to use re-used stages for just the boosters of FH, or for all 3? or is that not officially known yet?
<stratochief>
Rokker: so that you can has one in your neighbourhood?
<Rokker>
stratochief: boosters are gonna be reused
<Rokker>
stratochief: hold on
<Rokker>
stratochief: the thaicom and crs-9 cores will be the first FH side boosters
<stratochief>
with a steady supply of re-used boosters coming back, they could throw a lot of FH's next year, and/or the year after that. cool to think
<soundnfury>
stratochief: AIUI the centre core is sufficiently different that they're making a new one, rather than trying to convert a used one
<soundnfury>
it has to be strengthened to take the extra loads
<Bornholio>
Sometimes i get parts that act as quantum anchors. Mostly seems to be fuel tanks. Any feedback on how to fix that or what may cause it?
<stratochief>

<rsparkyc>
i think contract configurator should support that pretty easily
<Bornholio>
Pap, sorry, focus was away, stalled at learning blender. The pewee's for 300 & 500 Nozzle ratios look stretch and of course not big enough compared to the body of the nuke. Had to play a bit also. Nathankell stream last night made me want to get back on my largescale Mars trips.
<Pap>
rsparkyc: are you saying that we should limit the contracts to only the ones shown on the table, or we should implement the math to determine the required Sun Synchronous values?
<rsparkyc>
were there are a finite number of orbits that will pass over the same spot every day
<rsparkyc>
so i think limiting them to the table would work
ferram4 has joined #RO
<rsparkyc>
"If one wants a satellite to fly over some given spot on Earth every day at the same hour, it can do between 7 and 16 orbits per day, as shown in the following table."
<rsparkyc>

thx for the confirmation bornholio
Bornholio is now known as BornholioLurker
<Starwaster>
you know what we need? An inflatable aeroshell that lets you drop the payload out the bottom of the the shell
<Pap>
rsparkyc: that is all based on that forumal listed above in that article. It states that there is a lowest possible altitude that would work
<rsparkyc>
lowest orbit makes sense (being 16 times a day), i just figured you could always do higher, even get to a geo-synchronous orbit
szyzyg has joined #RO
<rsparkyc>
but maybe we get rid of the eccentricity, and only set orbital period ranges?
<rsparkyc>
in which case you can get rid of altitude too
<Pap>
But from what I can gather from this (I am struggling with the math) the orbital period determines the proper inclination
szyzyg has quit [Ping timeout: 186 seconds]
BornholioLurker is now known as Bornholio

that's probably because of orbital precession, which only works if you have principia

regex has joined #RO
<Pap>
well part of it, but it also has to do with the angle you are traveling with regards to the Earth rotation. If you have a higher orbit, you will have a higher inclination to continue to pass over the Earth at the same solar time

<rsparkyc>
i think so
<Bornholio>
Watch out for 1.3 only bombs
<gazpachian>
because it gives you the equatorial crossing point for the next 20 or so orbits, so you can judge wether you're in a resonant orbit and would thus not scan the whole planet
<regex>
That's cool, I don't mind installing /some/ stuff manually

<leudaimon>
how are you regarding upgrade points? that is what really makes things start to snowball in my opinion
<Pap>
I have a decent supply, but I didn't reach orbit until the 2nd year and have not tried for the moon yet
<leudaimon>
I still can't believe I'm ahead of NathanKell|AWAY though, I learned so much from the first episodes from his series... didn't have the time to go much ahead, but learned a lot anyway
<leudaimon>
If you have some nodes unlocked a moonshot should be simple...
<xShadowx|2>
copy his design, rush build, profit ;p
<leudaimon>
not this current series xShadowx|2, his first one ;)
<leudaimon>
I went russian for the LVs actually
<xShadowx|2>
hope this time he goes further than a manned lunar landing :|

xShadowx|2: he most likely won't make it that far
<Pap>
I know that once the tech tree is playable, we are going to be testing that extensively
<xShadowx|2>
everyone i see goes for moon then quit, its almost like "nasa didnt do it why should i' >.>
<Pap>
The difficulties just raise exponentially after the Moon landing
<Pap>
Kosmonaut Krash is going pretty far in his

in my previous playthroughs I usually stop even before crewed moon...
<leudaimon>
it's common that I get some gap without playing, then don't even remember what I was doing and restart...
<Starwaster>
So anyone interested in modelling a new inflatable shield? One that lets the payload drop out the bottom? (basically, no nosecone, has a hole in the bottom)
<Hohman>
I really hope monthly budgets someday has scalable funding decay
<Pap>
Starwaster: like a SIAD or HIAD?
<Pap>
Hohman: what do you meant by funding decay?
<Hohman>
If you enable it, the mod knocks X% of your reputation (and thus funding) every month
<Hohman>
which is fine and dandy unless you're doing KCT too
<Starwaster>
pap exactly. Some of the ideas for *IAD has the payload dropping out the bottom. Solves the problem of how to get away from the shell when you eject it
<Pap>
Starwaster: there are a ciouple of HIAD in Chaka Monkey, but I do not know what the models look like
<Starwaster>
other alternatives would be one that neatly folds up for landing. Would have to look nicer retracted than its stowed config. Or have a compact looking stowed animation state. Or something
<Starwaster>
I think those are just refurbs of existing inflatables/deployables like the ADEPT. Looks nice, works like the stock one so you have to deal with how to eject it safely. Plus it's got a pretty big stowed profile so landing with it attached isnt an option either
<Pap>
ah, so it needs to be something that looks like the Torodiol stock fuel tank that inflates to look like the stock Inflatable shield and then retracts back into the fuel tank looking thing

Want wrapper drop tanks as proceeedural also

Like those ones from Space Y? Would be pretty cool
<Bornholio>
Last thing on that wish list is a empty center version with 5 nodes
<Bornholio>
SpaceY's tanks are weird about that, hard to scale, and i think hydrogen only last time i tried them

There are a bunch over on Cobalt's Discord, but they are all notoriously uncooperative for requests

I haven't played stock for years, but aren't those similar to the inflatable heat shield that was introduced some versions ago?
<regex>
Yeah
<regex>
but without the hole
<Starwaster>
leudaimon similar in that it's a deployable shield, yes
<regex>
or rather, the stock one doesn't have the hole
<leudaimon>
ah, ok...
<leudaimon>
only saw the stock one in some ancient devnote
<Starwaster>
I think ultimately, RL HIADs will have to do something like that, either they have a hole for the lander to drop out of or else it stays attached but engines and landing legs deploy out the cap on the bottom. (which really means the same thing; the shield needs a hole. Engines, legs and cap would be separate parts that attach to the vehicle)
<Starwaster>
well I guess it'll have to be a pipe dream for a while longer then. I can do static models just fine but animation has enough of a learning curve that I'd be too busy to do coding that I want to do
<Pap>
Holes in heatshields are not a revolutionary idea, correct? There had to have been a hole in the Apollo CM Heatshield?

pap no... why?
<Hohman>
Didn't they go over the sides?
<Pap>
ah, yes, Hohman is correct, they had the umbilical that connected the CM and SM
<regex>
I don't know if I'd call that "competition".
<xShadowx|2>
also a case for splitting failure classes to their own mod, a few failures he has are not in TF and vice versa
<xShadowx|2>
1 common failures library could benefit all :D
<regex>
Wou;dn't that be grand, if a single library could make everyone happy?

found this gem in the KSP TOT changelog: "[*] Mission Architect: New experimental N-body coast event. This event models N-body gravity for selected bodies. Allows for basic Principia compatibility."
<xShadowx|2>
o.O
<egg|zzz|egg>
regex: yup, Arrowstar even talked to me to get that working :-p
<regex>
That's awesome egg|zzz|egg, I was hoping there'd be a planning app of some kind for Principia
<regex>
I really want to do some Venus-Earth-Earth slinshots and stuff.

regex: non-RO, but have you seen maccollo's principia challenge?

autodesk bought it from softimage (actually bought softimage I think) and then quietly dropped Mod Tool from their lineup (also known as XSI)
<Starwaster>
just export to DAE and you can import into Unity
<Starwaster>
animations SHOULD work but I have never done animations so I don't know
<Starwaster>
supports Crosswalk too
<Bornholio>
hmmm, may be better since i'm used to 3d modelling for engineering. Use solidworks mostly
<Starwaster>
and like I said, it's biggest virtue is that it's not Blender
<Starwaster>
the only time I ever use Blender is if I need to export a KSP .mu file to Blender
<Starwaster>
so I can import it into XSI
<Bornholio>
I found a python script for importing .mu to blender but everything is curve in that program.

bornholio blender's curve is like the event horizon of a black hole. Get too close and it starts curving back in on itself

!tell rsparkyc I just reached the early probe core tech I made the config for, and strangely, a part with 100% utilization and the same tonnage as the non-procedural is slightly heavier than the non-procedural. Without mentioning the 18k EC that comes with the non-procedural part

!tell rsparkyc some recent change you made to proc avionics made it possible to get above 200% utilization. In the previous build I was playing until today it was capped at 200%. Dloaded from github today and now it's uncapped
