  • Using Kerbal Space Program with realism overhaul I try to get below the 2.6 ton launch vehicle mass which is the same as the SS-520 rocket. Using all real engines, mostly from the 1950's it takes a lot of iteration....

      @AsbestosMuffins 7 лет назад +20

      Jett Quasar soviet design tended to be so increadibly centralized that one single person was making the design decision, quality control, inspection procedures, launch conditions ect, it let them jump ahead with the r-7 and vostok but as rockets got more complicated this style became horrendously deficient as korolev's replacement was a raving alcoholic and had basically a competing space program within the soviet union.
      ironically this was the same thing that we did early on with vanguard and jupiter rocket programs but then we rightly recognized the need for one managable program and created NASA out of both and while it did have a director, design decisions were carried out by committee and time was taken for testing

      In the beginning the US was like that but after the Apollo 1 disaster their quality control went way up. The N-1 suffered four failures in a row on a massive rocket, I don't think the American program would have survived such a disaster either.

      @nathanaelvetters2684 5 лет назад +6

      @@jamiesmith3396 That's not a suborbital path. Basically, the way to do this is make a giant SSTO that makes it almost to the mun, separate it after putting perigee below Earth's surface, then have a tiny spacecraft that burns a bit extra and goes and orbits the moon.
      This is just SSTO to the mun but easier.

    Scott, I was wondering if an orbital launch station would be efficient.
    You'd only have to get some payloads docked at the station and prepare a full launch.
    No atmospheric disadvantages.
    No equatorial disadvantages.
    No hard to reach mountaintops.
    And it could be re-usable.

    Can you do a video about calculating the minimum energy / delta-v needed to get into orbit?

    • @winged
      @winged 7 лет назад +13

      That would be an interesting idea. What I know is that you need only 8500 m/s for very high TWR launchers and about 9500 m/s for very low TWR. My personal record is 8400 m/s to orbit.

    • @Hlaford347
      @Hlaford347 7 лет назад

      How? What sort of launch profile are you using to get that low del v to orbit?

    • @winged
      @winged 7 лет назад +5

      Very shallow ascent profile + high TWR rocket. Fly straight up to 50m/s, then start pitching down, it should look more or less like that:
      50 m/s - pitch 89-90
      350 m/s - pitch 62
      1000 m/s - pitch 40
      Next steps depends on TWR of your second stage.
      First stage TWR needs to be around 1.70 (surface). An example of such vehicle is my Saturn VB MLV used in my Ares Mission to Mars recreation.

    Unrelated to video: I got 2 solar filters for my telescope, a cheapo sheet of what looks like Mylar that I creatively attached to the front of my scope with duct tape and cardboard and a much more professional looking (and expensive) one that has screws to hold it on. Why does the more expensive one make the sun look black and white while the cheapo one makes the sun a nice orange? I assume it has to do with the metals used in the filter but which is which? Also will you share your plans for the eclipse?

    Now all you need is enough Delta-V to get yourself back out of orbit. Maybe adding some RCS fuel? Although I know alot of real life satellites don't have a way back down to earth but if I made the rules I'd probably want every satellite equipped with a way to have them come back down so were not left with tons of space junk. But maybe that's just me ^^;

      You would just wait, as the orbits decay. Provided they are low enough anyway.

    "Another one bites the dust" would seem more appropriate than "Bohemian Rhapsody".
