Request Dual-Keel Space Station addon (STATION REQUEST)

[gattispilot]

SSF and ISS My SSf and the default ISS. Should I align mine with this?

 

[gattispilot]

I think this is correct. If I follow the image I should lose the front node and the dock attach there the cupola move back?

Should I retexture the module to a white texture with US,.....?

I am going to make a simple airlock. Add the cryogenic oxygen containers

 

[Gargantua2024]

I think the cupola is in a different spot?

Depends on what design concept. So far we're following the 1987-1989 concepts (with two node modules in the front)

The one with the cupola in the side rather than the top is from 1991

 

[Gargantua2024]

Freedom (1989)


Freedom (1990)


In both design concepts, the cupola is positioned on top of one of the front nodes, so the position currently used in the addon is still correct

 

[gattispilot]

Ok. So should I use the square truss like the images. And I think white textures for the module.

And just cones for the shuttle docks

That looks beautiful. DM me that so I can try that out in Orbiter...
if there's any issue that I see, I will DM

So 2 meshes. SSf 1990 and 1991. Both have the no ODS dock.
So for both you need STS2016 or SSV because the default has the ODS.

Things missing from the 1991 version is the Assured Crew dock?

 

[Gargantua2024]

The ACRV is always planned to use the HL-20 spaceplane from 1990 onwards iirc, until it was removed when it evolved into the ISS we know

 

[gattispilot]

So should add a ACRV dock?

Not sure what that thing on the dock is. I guess it will extend back when docked?

Could be cool.
And if anyone is wondering: that is the ACRV (according to NASA patents)

[gattispilot]

Adding that would easy just as a mesh.

 

[gattispilot]

ACRV added to both meshes.

gattis I don't know if you remember but there was a mockup of the ACRV and a pallet on the side of I 45 south of Dallas near Corsicana

 

[gattispilot]

No, here are images of it:http://moisttowelettemuseum.com/rocket/

 

[gattispilot]

In orbiter. As far as module. I think solar tracking and rcs and camera.
Maybe make the radiator rotate?

 

[jedidia]

You should be able to use the sun-tracking code of the solar panels for that. It's pretty much the same thing, except your facing vector is parallel to the surface rather than perpendicular (i.e. the edge is the thing that should be facing the sun)

 

[barrygolden]

That is what I saw not sure where this thing is now
these were the two things I saw on the side of I 45

 

[gattispilot]

The ACRV mockup is now in a cow pasture in Corsicana Texas.​

But I wonder if this is correct. I can update the mesh. It looks like the hatch is on the side versus on top. I suppose the top faces the station The thrusters on the bottom

 

[barrygolden]

It would be on the top

 

[gattispilot]

I will make it like the mock up
