Hi,
I'm just playing around with another iteration of my SpaceX Starship add-on and I notice we now have some video of RCS testing.
Looks like two right at the bottom on the wing-mounts, thrust direction -Y axis (Orbiter frame convention) for pitch-up.....
....and two on the nose, thrust direction +/- X axis for yaw...but not so easy to see the direction on the video.....
I just wondered if anyone had any other info or thoughts about RCS placement, thrust rating, propellant mass/ISP or anything RCS related.
I guess I'll see if I can get it to work in Orbiter with just what I see on the videos.
Hope to see the real SN8 fly soon!!
Cheers,
Brian
