The XR2 safely down at Aurora Lunar Base.



I switched the Ravenstar default fuel setting to 1 realistic with a full cargo load. Landed on fumes. I had to crossfeed RCS to feed the mains. It's nice to actually get that nervous feeling flying an emergency approach from the safety of your computer chair. (The first attempt ended when I ran out of fuel in the hover and collapsed the gear but crew survived. Overshot the base by 2km and we walked around Moltke crater to Aurora base which I put at the east rim of said crater south of Tranquillity Base.

Fuel: 2.10k

Descent orbit: 24 X 29km (figured for terrain avoidance)

Deorbit: 2500km range from base -34km perigee approx (impact point on groundtrack Map MFD just west of base)

Breaking: full retro start at 300km range

Time to fly the HAC!



View from Constitution's PIVRO. HAC intercepted from the southwest.



Turning through the 180. Can see the landing site through the camera.

You can download several payloads and repaints for it!

:yes:

The view is no add-on; all I did was set the chase cam on top of the port rudder with a 60 degree FOV. Add a little imagination and you're good to go.

The Eagle as seen from the Cupola. No docking this flight, just testing the rendezvous radar.

I like the historical/technological progression in that series. :thumbup:

Where to go from here ?

Where to go from here ?

Fully develop the launch vehicle?
