OHM Upsilon Andromedae system

[OrbitHangar]

Author: donatelo200

The Ups And is a binary star system located 44 light years away in the constelation Andromedae.  There are four known planets that orbit the star.  Three of  the planets actual masses are known.  Ups And b (Ab) is 1.4 times the mass of Jupiter and is in a tight orbit around Ups And A.  Ups And c (Ac) orbits in a farther but more elongated orbit.  It's 13.98 times the mass of Jupiter.  Third Ups And d (Ad) orbits in the outer edge of the habitibale zone with an elongated orbit.  It's 10.25 times the mass of Jupiter.  Lastly Ups And e (Ae) has a minnimum mass of 1.059 Jupiter masses and orbits at 5 Au making it a Jupiter twin.  Also a special thanks to orb who smoothed out Ups And d's ring texture.

Now I can scramble my Platinum mining interplanetary fleet...

:lol::lol::lol::rofl:

Aw, crap. I'll have to try this tonight, because I have work now.

Looks good, though, I can't wait.

 

[Jamesep3]

Almost downloaded can't wait to see what it's like:hmm:

 

[astrosammy]

Looks cool, it's always nice to have something new to explore. BTW, UMMU 2.0 is included in Deltaglider-IV, so it shouldn't be required.
:thumbup:

 

[donatelo200]

I know. I don't have a solid reason why i put it there though.

 

[ddom2006]

Found a bug perhaps. When I'm using a DGIV from the station, none of the RCS work. The problem isn't with the DGIV, I tested it on another add-on and the RCS worked fine. Aside that little problem, great add-on :thumbup:

 

[donatelo200]

Did you turn the rcs on? I have the ship completely shut down in that scenario.

EDIT: you need to turn the rcs valve on along with the engine valves. The valve controls are in the lower pannel.

 

[ddom2006]

Turned all those switches on, normal start-up from shut down I presume? I followed normal procedure.

 

[donatelo200]

Then switch the rcs from LIN to ROT or ATM AUTO. (it's on LIN because i docked then saved the scenario)

 

[ddom2006]

I'll give it another go now and let you know how it goes shortly

Worked fine this time, not sure what I did wrong first time around though. Thanks . Just about to post a screenshot in the screenshot thread of my DGIV passing the planet closest to the station .

 

[Izack]

Just got back from slinging my flagship around Ups And. I have to say...there sure is a freaking lot of stuff to explore! I've only seen a few major moons near Ups And E after a few hours of play. This is going to take a while!

 

[donatelo200]

You just wait for my next system.(don't expect it anytime soon. Not even started.) It will have level 8 textures for the interesting bodies this time. And there are going to be some exotic planets and moons. I'm going to try and break my personal record of planetary bodies. Witch is this system with 23 planetary bodies.

 

[Izack]

I noticed that UMMUs can't breathe Ups And b I's atmosphere (no oxygen and unacceptable pressure.) It says in the original project thread that its climate is supposed to be similar to Alaska's. :shrug:

Also, it is taking a lot more Dv to get around here than I thought! (Although that's not a bug, it's pilot error.) 30km/s from Ups And d to its first moon, not including plane change! I may have to deploy the hydrogen-mining stations sooner than I thought... :hmm: Hope you don't mind I'm stealing your hydrogen.

 

[donatelo200]

O i didn't make Ups And d I breathable this time. Here is it's atmo contaminats. 10% Oxygen, 82% nitrogen, 5% Chlorine and 2.5% Carbon dioxide and 0.4% argon and 0.1 trace gasses. The air is poisinous to us. The climate just means it's average temp and presipitation. O and steal away the hydrogen.

 

[Enjo]

Very nice system! Thanks!
Next time, maybe adding more bases space stations to certain bodies would make it even more entertaining The stations don't need to be Ceres. Luna-OB1, or even (kill me) ISS would be enough. Same goes for bases - just something to refuel at.

 

[donatelo200]

I have a scenario in witch station ceres is there. Not everyone has ceres so i didn't put it in every scenario. As for surface bases i will make more. It will be a week or two because i just started school today.

 

[Enjo]

So you get the idea - not everybody has Ceres and Prelude, but everybody has Luna-OB1, ISS and standard pads, so why not adding those
[EDIT] Such a move can make your addon at least partly timeless in terms of Orbiter versions compatibility. Partly, because you can have some scenarios with stuff like DGIV and Ceres, and some other with the standard stuff.

No rush. Take time.

 

[donatelo200]

I will make more scenarios with Ceres. I will add Luna-OB1 to the scenarios that don't have ceres. ISS would be very out of place 44 Lys away. Also you don't nessisarily need the DGIV or UMmu. They are just very reccomended because without it the system just becomes one of those systems that has no special features. This system will work with almost any orbiter version. Tested in the betas.
