<Starwaster> blowfish it's used on Centaur and various satellites. Look for 'modified Lockheed equation'
<blowfish> ahh, got it
<Starwaster> also look for sls interim cryogenic propulsion stage (which I think is going to be a modified centaur...? not sure that is finalized)
aradapilot has joined #RO
<wb99999999> Starwaster isn't it a modified DCSS?
<wb99999999> in hindsight, Centaur probably can't support the load of a fueled Orion anyway...?
<Starwaster> wb99999999 like I said it's not finalized. There's been a few proposals, who knows what it ends pu being
<blowfish> ICPS is under construction
<blowfish> EUS is the one that's still in development
<Bornholio> centaur takes reifnorcement rings pretty easy http://historicspacecraft.com/Diagrams/U/Upper_Stages_RK2013_1200x700.jpg
<wb99999999> what's with the shape of the EPS...
<wb99999999> it's so...squashed
<wb99999999> does it use spherical tank in a circle or something?
<Bornholio> quad hot dogs
<wb99999999> ...this construction looks...suggestive
<wb99999999> but I think I was vaguely right about spherical tanks

<wb99999999> ok guess I'll need a nuke for this...
<Bornholio> how many dV do you need
<wb99999999> honestly I'm not sure, I just had the idea of (again) sending an orbiter to Uranus
<wb99999999> last time I did this it took me the entire Cold War to arrive
<wb99999999> this time I want to make it a bit faster...ideally...
<Bornholio> yeah, getting a capture is a lot, or you have to do multiple fly by and make your outgoing dv very low so you can reduce the closing velocity
aradapilot has quit [Ping timeout: 194 seconds]
<Bornholio> my suggestion is a nuke outgoing just to have a lot of payload, then heavy main capture then drop it for RCS finalizing
<Bornholio> but you can do it with a staged hydrolox also, everything has to get lighter tho
<wb99999999> I think I'll just enter an highly elliptic and call that a day, Galileo style
Wetmelon has joined #RO
<Bornholio> nice
<Bornholio> still has the stupid low replacement numbers
<Rokker> Bornholio: 194 ain't the worst
<Rokker> 194 less eagles in the sky
<Rokker> Bornholio: who comes up with plane callsigns
<Rokker> in the usaf
<Bornholio> lt. dickweed Johnson
<Rokker> Bornholio: there was an E-4B doing a training run yesterday on star wars day as ORDER66
<Bornholio> Crew Chiefs and pilots
<Rokker> so I'm wondering who the smartass was
<Bornholio> multi-crew planes its usually the Crew Chief, they also do nose art if allowed
egg|zzz|egg has quit [Ping timeout: 198 seconds]
<Rokker> the NMUSAF has a bunch of old 52 noseart
<Rokker> cut off planes at AMARG
<Bornholio> my plane is 1040 "The Watchman"
<Bornholio> last BUFF built
<Rokker> neat
<Bornholio> so sad story
<Bornholio> when my squadron left SAC we got a new Colonel, the colonels wife...
<Bornholio> yeah bitch hated nose art
<Rokker> well tell her to fuck off
<Bornholio> we had to remove it all when the SAC emblems came off
<Rokker> boooo
<Rokker> BOOOOO
<Rokker> Bornholio: the NMUSAF doesn't give a shit about people disliking nose art or anything. they've gotten so many complaints about their B-24 that it's funny
<Rokker> their B-24 is named the Strawberry Bitch
<Bornholio> thing is most of the art was really nice and not sexualized either
<Bornholio> i mean the watchman was just the album cover art
<Rokker> so she was just spiteful

<wb99999999> question: have M-1 to be actually build, could it satisfy its performance goal at all?
TM1978m has joined #RO
<Bornholio> M-1 was cancelled inthe middle of testing in '65
<Bornholio> same with theJ-2T
<Bornholio> this is the document you are looking for wb99999999
<wb99999999> guess I need to go reading
<Bornholio> Aerojet used a lot of Rover program information to design the turbopumps and some of the work fed back to there also
