Idea Shuttle Fleet recompile for Orbiter 2016

[Marg]

Yes

 

[Star Voyager]

Not sure if this was posted yet, but this document has some good diagrams of the IRIS and ASE. At first glance it does look a bit different than the PAM-D’s.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks.
So we get this for sts 52

sts 5 ase

So when the rockets leaves you will see the inside of the ase and the spintable. BUT the spintable will not spin just the rocket will

So I tried my sts 5ase and the default one. Mine is at the bottom. Really can not see the differences.

STS 52 IN 2010:

 

[Star Voyager]

Oh man, can’t wait!

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. So on the ase for 52 the doors are only 2 parts of the circle.

But it looks like the others are more curved?

So is the ase wider in the center?

It looks like it might be 2 circle part but curved maybe the 52 doors should curve also?

pam d2 for sts 61c looks like it had 2 sets of doors
couldn't find any drawing though

 

[Star Voyager]

Yes, the D2 did have an extra set of doors. Not sure if there was much difference between the D and IRIS doors though, I haven’t seen anything to concretely suggest otherwise.

 

[gattispilot]

Well I will just 2 sets 1 set of doors and the other 2 doors. I other about the center though. It seems wider than at the ends.

Inside is the framework and spintable

So sts 61c. It lokks like the sides of the ase are straight down, not slanted.

 

[Star Voyager]

Just out of curiosity, is there something specific about the ASE’s you’re trying to model or are you trying to improve upon the existing ones?

 

[gattispilot]

Well. I thought they wanted more detail.

 

[Star Voyager]

Gotcha. Wish I could be more of assistance, seems like all the docs I’ve ran into use the same or similar diagrams.

 

[gattispilot]

So from this comment:
https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=598172&postcount=715

the ones I am working on have the outline on the bottom frame sticking out.

but from the top. In the drawing it looks like the doors are wider at the center?

But from the side.

the drawing shows the "DEPLOYMENT CLEARANCE" as wider at the top. but the door isn't wider?

I think basically there are 2 style 2 doors or 4 doors. So sts 52 uses the 2 door style and of course different logos

 

[Star Voyager]

There was a large sun shield and a standard:

 

[Star Voyager]

If I remember correctly, the NAVSTAR II would’ve used the larger shields in ‘87.

 

[gattispilot]

If I remember correctly, the NAVSTAR II would’ve used the larger shields in ‘87.

WHICH STS?


So I get this for sts 52:

So I can make the ase doors wider at the top like the drawings.

 

[Star Voyager]

I don’t think the larger shields ever actually flew, but 52 looks good as is. The missions manifested with NAVSTAR’s were 71A, 71F, 71G, 71K, 71L, 81C, 81D, 81F, 81H, 81K, and 81L.

 

[MarkWatney2015]

NAVSTAR-II were the early GPS (Global Positioning System) that ended up launching on Delta II rockets after the Challenger disaster

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. So I will make some minor changes . But I think the doors maybe square. most drawing don't see the the wide top.


On Sts 52. I will have it spin at 50 rpm and then release. But I suppose when the ISS and IRIS separate the IRIS and LAgeos should be spinning at 50 rpm also.

Both will have keys to stop the rotation and start for navigation purposes

So how critical is this:
Tie LAS structure interfaces with IRIS (Fig. 4, page 5) and supports the AKM, it is spin stabilized at 64 rpm by means, of the IRIS spin table subsystem.

For 2010 it will have to be 50 but for 2016 I can make this happen

 

[Star Voyager]

I imagine it’s not too critical, though I wonder if a higher rpm was chosen because the payload was smaller than say a HS-376, providing more stability.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I can add another line if needed. I think that code part needs to be reworked by someone else.

It functions. But I think it spins too fast and then slows to the actual speed

Hello "gattispilot"

By looking at the images, it seems to me that the inside of the sun visors are white as the outside.



I do not think the interior is covered with golden insulation.
