    OFMM Development: Mars Ground Ops

    Nope the new iMac looks like this How about this old IBM? :P Not exactly If we land somewhere, its not going to be at the poles, but a little closer to the equator. Somewhere between 25°N and 25°S I tried OglaClient Beta 10041 it doesn't work for landing detection. Might be kind of...

    OFMM Development: Mars Ground Ops

    I see OVP, though I haven't downloaded it yet (downloading now). Does it create mountains and whatever and if it does, does it support UMMU's walking on it? -A while back I though we where against using this because of Urwumpe's old computer :lol: Orulex from Artlav last I knew did not...

    OFMM Development: Mars Ground Ops

    I agree there, just quickly looking through the config's, there doesn't seem to be a place to adjust the mass. I wonder how it figures the weight when its not given in a cfg? The thing is, if you put a UMMU who is limited to 2hrs of O2, onto a non-pressurized rover you have to get back before...

    SVTU (Small Vehicle Transportation Unit) 100617 2010-06-17

    SVTU (Small Vehicle Transportation Unit) Build 100617 vs .90 SVTU is able to transport small vehicles protecting them from the stresses of launch and the harsh conditions of space. SVTU allows the user to have cargo stored inside fairing, and deployed. Anything can be deployed from SVTU, there...

    OFMM Development: Mars Ground Ops

    That's only about the size of a forklift. Though that might be good depending on what this is going to be doing. Woh Good looks, but it might be a little spendy with its weight. What about using r-control already supplied with Orbiter, or should it be more limiting.. A light version of...

    What are the odds? I come home after work today, and find spots of poop over my pillow, all pointing at the open window. The window screen has a spot where a bird 'bombed' it. What are the odds a bird pooped, for it to hit a small section of window, go through it, and land on my pillow? uck

    Nice mesh I take it the cargo is in the inside? or hows that working? Aerodynamic tests? How do you go about doing that?

    We haven't picked one yet, but I think that is for more down the road when closer to launch.

    According to this: Lighter_than_air I suppose it might be possible to get a density lower in a balloon than on Mars. Using rough math If Mars is proportional to Earth (its not but its rough estimate): Mars has 0.0075 g/l Helium has 0.1786 g/L; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas...

    OFMM Development: Atmospheric Vessels

    Wait, I am getting confused... wasn't the sky crane going to be a reusable reentry vehicle almost exactly like the space shuttle. Wouldn't disposable heat shields be hard to come by? It should be able to hover with a full load of cargo and the cargo bay doors are on the bottom. I was...

    OFMM Development: Atmospheric Vessels

    Sounds good, only thing I have to challenge is if it is capable of 'gliding' on Mars (wing size & weight) Would a UAV be able to actually work on Mars's thin atmosphere without requiring a huge wing area? Something like the lunar rover or (What was that one called that attaches to Arrow?) for...

    Good point. I think I can make it so the fairings will auto-delete after like 6 minutes or something.

    Beginer help

    Jupiter? You would need some powerful specks for that. http://victoria.rasc.ca/gallery/Michael/Default.htm Are ETX-80 something like 275x zoom? I'm not very experienced, but is your scope not really powerful enough?

    Why not, just a texture change, but what if the box is used before even stepping foot on Mars? :tiphat:

    Oh I see, sounds great I figured out the problem... if I would read the API ref a little I would of seen that ------------------- Since I figured out the attachment problem, I think I can make a 'beta' of SVTU (Small Vehicle Transportation Unit) Please download and run scenario to test...

    Impact on Jupiter, June 3, 2010

    Yeah no kidding right :( Just a little more than a little unsettling I'd say On that topic, what would NASA do if a NEO came just a little too close... Armegeddon it? :lol:

    What are the odds?

    Actually that seems to happen quite a bit. I am thinking it might be because pilots are launching at the same launch window, and hitting the Moon every time.

    Sorry for the delay guys, my sis graduates this Sat.... so we have all the extras that go with that going on this week. :ohthedrama: So I guess we are at working at developing the required addons to make this project work. Thanks Would lights from UCGO cargo work? About the Greenhouse/hab...

    Question Java programming- GUI display changes

    Haha fun, times like these I hate computers. :) Thanks for the idea, going off of it, I found the reason: http://forums.netbeans.org/post-60421.html&highlight= They should really fix that... I had a nice layout going until it erased all the text.

    Question Java programming- GUI display changes

    :censored: In NetBeans; When running; why do these programs have nothing better to do than annoy? (Same relative thing happened in Eclipse. Different project entirely though.) oh great, I closed it, reopened it and it showed as the same pic as pic 2.... Perfect, I try editing...
