[HAL9001]

Discount spaceflight, anyone?
Launch with N-1 derived N-111 100% reliable launcher lol, 2 hours of orbiting, and splashdown north of Wideawake International.

Whole flight here (photobucket)
Total of 23 somewhat good images with captions. If you ever visit that gallery, I recommend the slideshow mode. It's awesome!

Thanks! It's a rather simple velcro contraption
Release? Doubtful, since a single scenario is hardly worth uploading to OHM. But I can tell you what addons were used.
UMMU, UCGO for the car, [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3732"]UMMU reentry pack[/ame], [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3388"]Velcro Rockets[/ame], [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3463"]Velcro N1[/ame](used the N-111 scenario as a workbase) and Wideawake International.
If anyone wants the scenario, send me a PM and I'll send you a link

Alan Shepard's flight:

Lift-off

In space

Periscope view

Burning the engine (don't know what for)

Re-entering

Burning the engine (don't know what for)

That was a "secondary objective" of the flight, just to test if the retros were working or not, and how they altered the spacecraft trajectory. The flight would have been safe and successful even if they didn't worked.

Fly me to the moon...

 

[Eli13]

Yeah, I'm lame enough to post a MFD picture, but it was my first perfect lunar transfer! I was pretty happy! :lol:

 

[Izack]

Coincidence; I have an MFD shot too here. :lol:
IMFD's Map can do some interesting things!

 

[diogom]

I think that now May 5th has passed, I can post this without being insulted by the American community :lol:.

The flight of Sputnik 1:

Chevy: Hey...look a candy...

Heading to the sun..............

 

[Donamy]

A "what if" mission.

 

[Star Voyager]

That looks like it's a bit too big to be launched by the Orbiter...

Yet another DGEX pic, this time departing Notebooks GAN International Airport:

Two pics I have for some time now:

The one in the middle is Tranzit (by Kulch).

Solar eclipse experiment with CSM in ASTP:

 

[Eli13]

Is it just me, or would it be odd to see a low-resolution Buran dock next to your shuttle in real life?

 

[diogom]

It's the best resolution there is. :lol:

 

[Eli13]

I know, I just had to say something :lol:

 

[diogom]

Lets hope the Shuttles' successor is hi-res, then. :rofl:

EDIT: If there will ever be one.
