Project Space Transportation System 2016

[MarkWatney2015]

Iirc STS-72 was primarily focused on retrieving the Japanese SFU satellite back to Earth, so the only experiments aboard were a number of GAS canisters mounted on MPESS trusses and a SPARTAN free-flyer

FOR STS 72:
CARGO BAY PAYLOADS Space Flyer Unit-Retrieval (SFU-RET) 14 SPARTAN/OAST-FLYER 15 SSBUV 18 Shuttle Laser Altimeter (SLA-01)/Get Away Specials (GAS) payloads 20 EVA Development Flight Test (EDFT) 23
We got all but the eva stuff

Wow !! super job with STS 72

 

[gattispilot]

Here is STS 72. I may have left out a mesh,....

Just a Launch scn. It you get a CTD. post the log in d3d9 and normal graphics. In normal graphics it will show which textures are missing

The scen runs and looks great - but I get 2 error messages:

============================ ERROR: ===========================
Mesh not found: .\Meshes\STS_PAYLOADSNEW\SFUPANEL2.msh
[MeshManager::LoadMesh | .\Mesh.cpp | 1238]

============================ ERROR: ===========================
Mesh not found: .\Meshes\STS_PAYLOADSNEW\SSUBV1.msh
[MeshManager::LoadMesh | .\Mesh.cpp | 1238]

otherwise it looks beautiful

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. I updated the zip

 

[moonheart]

Works better now - just a few minor things:

- STS-72 was Endevour not Atlantis,

- the gas cans should be closed at launch

- the PLB and RMS lights should be off at at launch

I get this when I use Ctrl-2 on the SFU:

============================ ERROR: ===========================
SFUPANELJET
[Vessel::OpenConfigFile | .\Vessel.cpp | 243]
===============================================================

Great work you've done!

I've altered the scen file with the few changes I noted:

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. Keys of the SFU 1 panel and 2 is paneljet
K on the SFU HOLDER

Try this. I updated the MS2015 ini and included the missing files

 

[moonheart]

Super!

 

[moonheart]

Always amazed how spectacular these look.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks.
For STS 82:
Cargo Bay Payloads: Second Axial Carrier (SAC) Orbital Replacement Unit Carrier (ORUC) Flight Support System (FSS)
But it seems like the same stuff from STS61.
I think the HUbble may need to be changed to apply for the missions.

Is there the possibility of compiling PAMs in SSV?

I would love to fly missions like STS-7, STS-51G on the SSV

I hope I'm asking this question in the right place

Yes and NO. The PAM's are just rockets. So they should work. BUt the Spinning part can be made as a vessel and just press a key and the satellite spins. press a key again and the satellite releases. I can make that as a separate vessel

 

[gattispilot]

Sounds good !

So that means it's possible :saúde:

My question is exactly this, how would I get them to rotate and also release the satellite?


Since SSV does not have the payloads operations panel like STS2016

Yes. So you would the Satellite rotation would be control by a panel in the rotation vessel. I just don't know enough about the attachments in SSV. Really the whole ASE (case) and rotation device could be done.

SSV is all about realism and that includes the actual panels and DPS displays used. In case of the PAMs, they were controlled from a Standard Switch Panel (SSP) on L11 as well as through a set of DPS displays: https://commons.erau.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2439&context=space-congress-proceedings

I agree. That's why I am a bit hesitate to do this. I can make the ASE with the rotation attachment point. And just do a pop out window to open the ASE and start the spin and release. BUT it could not be controlled thru SSV.

 

[barrygolden]

just a note that the FSS stayed in the Shuttle and only the Satellite was deployed

 

[gattispilot]

just a note that the FSS stayed in the Shuttle and only the Satellite was deployed

Yes. The MPESS stays in the shuttle but the Spartan goes into space. I think if you are focused on the Spartan holder and press K it releases/attaches the spartan

 

[gattispilot]

Focus on the STS07CB and press K? it should attach if close

 

[gattispilot]

I have been asked about STS32 and STS51D. For STS 32 we have the LDEF. We have the LeaSAT5. They might need to be redone. As the cradle,.....
The STS51d was from an older version.

I was able to convert the ASE to SSV. BUT I realize SSV is for realism. I just did a panel to open the ASE and spin and release. For LeaSAT5 it would just spin on release

 

[gattispilot]

For example. In sts2016 and STS on the ASE it may have the Payload fitting and bridge rail. For SSV it is just the ASE because the rest is added via mission editor.
For the LEASAT sat's in STS 2016 and STS the cradle is just there no payload fittings,...... Should be easy fo SSV if it fits. STS2016 I would add the payload fittings. It might be easier to add the payload fitting tot he cradle as the cradle has an adjustable tunnions.
