I've never deorbited onto Titan actually....
Might give it a go (as well as the actual competition)How high is a "safe" orbit around Titan? 300m?

You might just get bored waiting for the craft to land, though.
As I said, it is like flying through syrup.
Ahahaa been there :lol:
I was taking a DGIV down and after about 20 minutes I started getting anxious and loosened up on the hovers so I could gain some speed. I actually at one point went downstairs to watch some special report on TV and came back up to find I was still a few minutes from landing.
Ahhh... good times. :rofl:
And by the way, when he said 300m he might have meant also 300M. If that's the case, thats safe around alot then.
I didn't even use hovers, only for the last few seconds...
But reentry was easy and relaxing. On Earth, hull temps rise up, and everything happens pretty quickly, and on Mars, you just don't stop.
And I doubt 300 M would be safe, orbit further away and Saturn starts to pull you away. Even at 2M, The G counter on orbit MFD reads 0.94.
I was going to make it so it EVAs a crew member with a flag, but then I opened up the UMMU SDK doc -
That isn't necessary anyway, as both the DGIV and XR2 are Ummu capable.
For vessels that aren't, there is computerex's UMMUFA.
I'm thinking of trying to do this. Not sure exactly what ships I'll use. I'm thinking of a DGIV for atmo landings, one of those Altair looking landers that comes with the Deepstar for non-atmo landing. And the Domovan for the mother ship (The Deepstar's too graphics demanding for my comp =p )
Not sure how to do the venus drop. Thinking of going into orbit, undocking the dgiv, doing a retro burn, releasing the flag, and then quickly doing a pro burn before I die.
Anyone's thoughts on any of this?
You could but it might be tricky doing atmospheric ascents without the scramjets as the XR-5 is very heavy.could i use xr5?
