OHM Carl Sagan Space Center (Banaba Island)

[OrbitHangar]

Author: loru

Joint Aerospace Systems proudly presents Carl Sagan Space Center (CSSC for short) surface base for Orbiter 2010 P1.

It's a surface base located on Banaba Island in Pacific Ocean (0°51'34"S 169°32'13"E). Its almost equatorial location gives it huge advantage in launching vehicles to low inclination orbits (GTO/GEO/Interplanetary).

Airport section with 3.6 km runway and its infrastructure is capable of carying out logistics operations as well as being landing location for spaceplanes.

Docks located in south part of the island provide heavy trasport capability for bringing launcher parts and supplies.

Two launchpads with additional infrastructure provide launching capablility of almost any rocket in day or night.

Please read manual before installing!!!!

[Scruce]

Very nicely detailed! :thumbup:

 

[garyw]

Brilliant work Loru and Woo482, It's been a pleasure to be involved even if it was only to test a few things out and provide encouragement on IRC. Well done guys and thanks for this.

 

[Cras]

After seeing the trickle of updates and pics, I can't wait to finally see this thing and try it out for myself.

:thumbup:

 

[Aeadar]

Just took a quick look around and I can't wait to start flying in & out of CSSC!

Thanks guys!

( I think I would have put the CSSC sign right up on either side of the VAB myself, but this looks great!)

 

[Dores]

This is great

Just flew two missions

Made a 'crawler' out of UCGO truck and Universal Cargo deck for Energia.

I'm excited about trying out the new ETS / Themis too!

Few pics:


















Thanks again,

Dores

 

[n122vu]

Thanks to both of you. Outstanding work! Just took a tour in a UCGO cargo truck. Can't wait to plan and fly my first mission from here. Well done!

Anyone here who have tried the rocket erector for the smaller launch pad? I tried to attach a Falcon 9 (dll-based) and a Zenit 3 (multistage-based) to the erector (after adding the attachment points), but both resulted in a CTD. I would like to hear if there are any successful tries here before I post the details.

 

[N_Molson]

Nice work as usual :thumbup:

 

[Alfastar]

One of a must-have base in Orbiter. Very very good work. :thumbup:

Could I take a look at those configuration files? those should help me find out what's causing the issue.

Could I take a look at those configuration files? those should help me find out what's causing the issue.

For example, here's the cfg file for a 2-stage Zenit that was custom made by me:

ClassName = Zenit2SLB_Alpha
Module = multistage2

BEGIN_ATTACHMENT
P 0 0 -13.2 0 1 0 -1 0 0 CSSCT
END_ATTACHMENT

I then put the rocket in the scenario and pressed K while focusing on loco01:

[Woo482]

That indeed was a bug The fix can be found here for those who've already downloaded it the addon from OHM: Train.dll just replace your "Modules/CSSC/Train.dll"with that one. The addon package will be updated with the fix in a few hours.

 

[Loru]

Fixed package uploaded to OHM along with second module link.

Maybe you should try this configuration and set all file as write below in proper folder. Multistage does not like any folder than it's own.

I've been using this one a lot. Nice detail and good location. Thanks!:thumbup:

I tried to download the train file and my anti virus program said it was dangerous
