Request Daedalus Rocket from the Nat Geo tv series Mars

[Interceptor]

Hi it would be great if somebody could make the Daedalus Rocket,and lander from the Nat Geo series Mars,for orbiter.Thanks

 

[Loopos]

Nice,I'm also waiting for this to come out though...

 

[Loopos]

I've started creating the lander, but there's no texture yet, but i'll get it done.
Oh yea, do you want it with a VC or not?

 

[Interceptor]

With a VC please,and would it possible to have the crew elevator,and Rover?

Ok, I'm just doing the meshes, can u help me find someone to do the programming?

Hey Interceptor! This is what I've did lately

I can help on the coding

Is there any info on the vessel? Mass, fuel, engines ?

 

[Loopos]

Sorry for the late update, but I just randomly remembered about this project and decided to resume work on it.

The original models are gone unfortunately since that was in my old PC, so I decided to redo them and hopefully make them look better.

Here's a very early and rough model I've churned out. The details will be added down the line.

As for the mass, fuel and engines, that will unfortunately have to be based on guesses since I don't remember there being any specs regarding the craft itself.

This looks like an interesting project!

The overall size and shape reminds me of Lockheed Martins Mars Ascend Descend Vehicle (MADV):


The MADV was a single-stage to surface and back to orbit concept, using Hydrogen and and Oxygen as fuel.

Estimated figures of the MADV were:
Height 24 m, width at base 6.5 m.
Dry mass 22 ton + 1 ton crew and payload, fuel mass 70 ton.
Engines: 6 x RL-10 = 660 kN thrust, delta V = 6.3 km/s.

Maybe you could give the main dimensions of your model, so we could estimate the specs.

Based on this sneak peak of the show I managed to find, the ship itself is at 50.2 meters tall and 9 meters wide.

Other than that, I haven't really found anything else about the engines, mass, and fuel load oof (though there's also a glimpse of the ship with the first stage launcher ).

Here's the vid btw:

You should be able to built it in vessel builder

Wait, if that's a thing now, what other massive developments have there been since 2017?

I kinda got out of the loop after my previous pc broke for several years so idk where to start lol

Project - VesselBuilder for Orbiter

Hi guys, I decided to open a new thread about my current project which is the in-sim Vessel Builder for Orbiter. It all started with the ISS AtoZ unique vessel project but then I found out that it could become more complete so from a "station builder" it soon became a Vessel Builder. It is...

yes it is
