lol at youtube
<xShadowx>
if i wanted to sim mars entry using earth atmo, what alt would i need to be for thin enough atmo to mimic same environment?
<xShadowx>
then again not sure if id be same speeds...hmm
<Bornholio>
why not just hyper out there
<Bornholio>
also .6%
<xShadowx>
because we cant warp time in reality? ;p
<Bornholio>
but sim
<xShadowx>
which isnt really a sim
<xShadowx>
i wouldnt mind it so much if stuff was less real, but you essentially get a 100% perfect simulated environment
<Bornholio>
mars surface average is about 6mbar
<xShadowx>
atm wanted to test chutes for entry :)
<xShadowx>
seem to remember nasa did something along that lines, so
<Bornholio>
come in at 30km PE, have retro motor or very high Cd if you want to use chutes
<xShadowx>
Cd?:3
<Bornholio>
coefficient of drag
<Bornholio>
i have a winner for early probe, built off of lid for gemini top
<xShadowx>
30km Pe seems..low....to mimic mars
<Bornholio>
oh no thats on real mars
<Bornholio>
to get fully captured and still have long deccel in atmosphere
<xShadowx>
ya wanted for earth equiv to test chutes / retro engines, to see if itd survive mars, before accually doing mars
<Rokker>
Starwaster: theoretically I think a pilot could last indefinitely through 6Gs until exhaustian
<Starwaster>
rokker, seen that graph before... not even sure how to read that
<Rokker>
how long you can survive at that amount of Gs
<Starwaster>
rokker that only tells me what it's for but it doesn't tell me how to use it. For instance each axis line starts low, spikes and then drops again
<Starwaster>
no idea how to use that data
<Starwaster>
also some of that is questionable if it's for survival purposes
<Rokker>
anything above that onset rate is no go territory
<Rokker>
that initial bit is how fast the g forces onset
<Starwaster>
10G for... 30 seconds if I read that right? THey've put subjects through 10G for a minute with no ill effect
<Starwaster>
and a minute is not even necessarily the limit for humans at 10G
<Rokker>
this is probably an average person with no g suit nor training passing out
<Starwaster>
1 minute was untrained persons
<Starwaster>
and if it's just for blackout then it's useless to me anyway, this is for death.
<Starwaster>
DEATH!
<Starwaster>
This is for Kerbals going up on that great big wall in the astronaut center
<Starwaster>
not for Kerbals pining for the fjords either
<lamont>
pretty certain 6gs is not going to be releavant to death unless you had a torchdrive that could keep that up for hours
<lamont>
and RSS does not have Alpha Centauri or Tau Ceti
