Request Any SLS and Orion MPCV in development?

[gattispilot]

Once I build one I can place those access arms where I want. I figure there will be a if access arms retracted then proceed with launch sequence.

Which I think is like: swing, tilt arms and then detach vessel attachment point. If Enough thrust is applied then the rocket will take off.

I remember seeing tower footage of the shuttle launch and how it did a wicked lurch when the mains fired. I suppose that stabilizer arm has to remain attached until the vehicle rights itself.

 

[gattispilot]

Getting closer. Should the rocket be sitting on the ground or be raise to fir the platform?

I put a dummy attachment attached to the pad, then attach the rocket to that.

I get a CTD.
been updating the tower and platform:

Now. on the velcro rockets. It looks like you set the fairing, payload, exhaust.
So why do a Dll?

on these:
All Space Launch System Models.
Orion MPCV
Asteroid Capture/Redirect Vehicle (ARV) DONE
Mars mission habitat
SEV (Space Exploration Vehicle {rover}) DONE
Landers for Mars and the Moon
Phobos and Deimos bases
Missions to asteroids, Phobos, Deimos, the Moon, Mars, and the ISS.
ect.

I know about the SEV, but where can I get the ARV? I have only seen it in pictures.

 

[gattispilot]

I will put a beta together for the ARV
I may make a platform popup window so you can select which arm and move it as needed. A launch button that would move the arms as needed.
Thanks to orbitingpluto. He got the velcro booster to work. But the fairing release when the booster dettach.

Great! Can't wait to see both of them!

I am working on the mesh for the Block 2 Cargo.

On the LUT. I don't know what the default positions should be. I assume next to the tower edge. And then rotate to the position needed. Not sure where that needs to be. If to the center or side?

The Vertical stablizer default maybe straight down. the OSMU? Straight up. So default would be the end of launch for all arms.

I guess the 6 poles in the ground should be part of the base and not the MLP. A crawler moves it to the launch site.

 

[SpaceEagle]

I like it

 

[gattispilot]

I guess once I get the cargo Block 2 done then I will tackle the crew version. I might use the existing Orion and see what I need.

But with the Cargo2 one could put a Skylab2 up

Hey,John awesome work so far,are you going to Make a crawler for it too?thanks making this,BTW.

 

[gattispilot]

I thought there was one already. I can add an attachment. I will remove those posts and leave them at the pad site.


I found these meshes:

https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=18512a6e2b7b592c1c339e73e87b35ef

Not sure if these are correct. But could make them into a mesh and move the pad with them

 

[RonDVouz]

Wow, you're building the next generation AMSO.

I'm curious about your mission plans, I'm excited to see you've already started on the asteroid capture and return vehicle and some landers. Which landers are you considering? The defunct Altair for lunar? The Copernicus/Asimov concepts from the Constellation plan?

I have to admit I really wanted to simulate the Constellation plan as detailed in this video:

[gattispilot]

Sounds like it. No idea where it is going. Just meeting the needs.

I was doing some work with the Altair and LER.

 

[RonDVouz]

I wish congress didn't kill the Altair. Let's hope after the real SLS starts flying that people reconsider that one.

Anyway, here's some specs on it:

I think the lander is in this:

You could make the crawler a Ummu3.0 vehicle.

 

[RonDVouz]

It's lumped with a lot of other required modules but I'll give it a try.

About your SLS launch profile, is it going to be like the autopilot for the Atlantis or will it need something else, like the Launch MFD? I'm considering this for my DG but the reviews on it are scary.

 

[gattispilot]

Yes, but why? So a guy could get in it? Not sure what animation it would have. The threads couldn't move.

I guess the MLP would rest above the ground. Drive the crawler underneath and attach and drive away.

I can see about pulling it out Not sure about the launch stuff. That is not my expertise.

Right now it is using Velcro boosters.

 

[Interceptor]

Yeah,but at least you would able to drive it around with ease.
