    General Question Mission Control Simulation

    We all like to fly our little probes around and there have been attempts at mission control software in the past but they all end up failing at one general point: Why look at it's data when you can be flying it. I've come up with an idea and I'd like to run it by you guys that know the ins...

    Project SATM - Station Attitude Thrust Module

    I'm working on a small station keeping module for stations. Right now it only does killrot and doesn't have a texture. It only has rotational RCS. It can hold 50kg of fuel on board but has room for up to 4 UCGO fuel containers. These are automatically grappled when within 20m of the module and...

    MFD Docking MFD for station building

    I'm doing some station building in LEO with SSBB and URMS and have had an idea for a useful MFD. A docking MFD that you can specify the vessel and docking port you are docking from. Something similar to the abilities of the Dragonfly but for any vessel, not just docked ones. This would make...

    Flight Question Designing flight plans for rockets

    I'm looking at using the Quasar to put the initial parts of my next station in orbit. I used the Delta 4 heavy for my last one but I'm looking at lifting 2 parts at once this time. How do you guys build a flight plan for these vessels?

    Optimal orbital insertion from flight

    Ok, I'm still working on the autopilot for the G42-200 still haven't got the final stage figured out yet. Launch to T3 is going good. I still need to refine the heading but getting the craft into orbit is still eluding me. I know how to calculate what speed I need to be at what altitude, but...

    Current state of my projects.

    I've been kinda quiet for a while so I just thought I'd give an update. The interplanetary carrier is still in progress. I've found someone that can actually model and skin so I handed it over to him for now. I've decided to just go completely fiction on the propulsion. I'm doing this so I...

    Problem Need help adjusting a PID

    I'm working on an autopilot for the G42-200. I've got quite a bit of it done, but I've been working on one part for several days and just can't get it to work right. Here is the way it is supposed to work. Start from basic KSC15 scenario, fire it up and push full power - AB. At 105m/s it...

    Project Interplanetary Carrier - WIP

    I am starting work on an interplanetary carrier ship. I just completed the basic mesh for the hangar module so I have something to build a ship around. I have the G42-200 and XR-5 parked there for scale. This module is 260m long, 110m wide and 30m tall. It can dock 2 XR-5s and 6 XR-2 or...
