Pleased with the outcome, there are likely to be more Shuttle/Latka mission planned in the future. If the engines are shutdown this is usually not a large problem because the rocket can clear it fast enough, but if they are running they will push the stage inward. Step 2, you have to change the bit in the beginning of that docking ports module description. The first launch, designated Artemis 1, is scheduled for a period between 20 September and 4 October 2022 from Kennedy Space Center. Therefore, design proceeded without a means of docking the Command Module to a Lunar Excursion Module (LEM). edit on Wikidata The Space Launch System (abbreviated as SLS) is an American super heavy-lift expendable launch vehicle under development by NASA since 2011. Then the Cordoba herself moved in to dock. When NASA awarded the initial Apollo contract to North American Aviation on November 28, 1961, it was still assumed the lunar landing would be achieved by direct descent rather than by lunar orbit rendezvous. Kerbal Space Program > General Discussions > Topic Details. Not one to turn down an opportunity for cooperation and unity, the Western kerbals launched their newest shuttle.īefore long the Cordoba reached Latka Station 305km above the surface of Kerbin.įirst the utility tug was deployed from the cargo bay and docked to the station. This being the first display of cooperation between Eastern and Western kerbals since the Allegro/Gravas mission. Lacking a sufficient delivery vehicle of their own, the Eastern Kerbals have asked for the assistance of a Munraker Shuttle to deliver said vehicle. To further facilitate construction of Latka Station it is necessary to have a utility tug on hand to grab and maneuver modules into place as they are installed. Luckily, thanks to my monoprop only satellites that I put in orbit, I managed to dock with one of those and grab enough monoprop to dock with the service module, that had barely enough to get back to the mothership at Jool. It then had JUST enough fuel to jump off the ground, undock from the landing stage and burn for all that it was worth. If its that you cant undock the ports (not docking is another problem), then check out that link to my bug fixes in the first post (or via my sig).

The Boost section did nothing more than kill the majority of the insane speed I was coming down at, it then undocked and smashed into Tylo while the 2nd stage took care of the suicide burn. What I did (thanks to having docking clamps underneath the lander, so it could attach to a service module that ferried them back and forth from the mothership) was to create what I called a 'Boost Lander' which essentially created a 3 stage lander. I made a lander capable of landing on all the moons, then realised the exact same problem you are having when I did my capture burn into Tylo. I sense a refueling mission in the near future. Originally posted by Rene:The lander, with what fuel is left can likely land on Tylo, but not on the first stage alone, which has all the landing gear, absolutely never get off, and certainly won't leave Tylo orbit should it miraculously do the above anyway.
