Project Atlas C Able

[MJR]

Thanks. Do you have a picture of the ICBM that is located in the fairing?

 

[Star Voyager]

Do you mean the warhead? This rocket was used to carry satellites.

 

[MJR]

I am confused. Did Atlas C carry a satellite or warhead?

 

[Star Voyager]

Atlas C Able carried satellites. The regular Atlas C was identical to Atlas B, which carried warheads, or at least I think it's identical. But I do know that for a fact, Atlas C Able carried satellites.

 

[MJR]

Alright. So I put a satellite in the fairing? That is all I need to do.

 

[Star Voyager]

Yes, and for old times sake, I would use the Probe (as in the whole "Hail Probe" sort of thing :lol:!).

 

[Urwumpe]

Atlas C is an ICBM just like Atlas B. It just had lighter tanks than the B model and a higher range.

Atlas B already launched with the Able upper stage.

 

[MJR]

I'm just going to put a satellite in and call it a day.

 

[Star Voyager]

Sounds good, but Urwumpe, I have never seen an Atlas B Able. Are sure it is not C? That and D are the only ones I have seen on record.

No Atlas B Able, and only a single failed Atlas C Able. I mistook the entry of the Atlas Agena B in astronautix with the Atlas Able B.

All successful Atlas Able flights had been with the radio-controlled production D model.

I just need to make the spacecraft3 file for the satellite and I am done. I will try uploading it later today.

I can't get the right coordiantes for the stupid antenna.

 

[Urwumpe]

I can't get the right coordiantes for the stupid antenna.

Which antenna?

 

[MJR]

The satellite I am putting in the Able stage. It rotates, but it is way off. Instead of simple rotating on its axis it goes down or up.

I meant animation wise.

Ah,send it over.

 

[MJR]

Thanks. Everytime I do it it does not rotate on its axis.

Config file would be helpful,to many groups.
