I recorded this stuff in FEBRUARY on stream, and I decided to finally figure out how to edit it this month! Well it took the ENTIRE DAMN MONTH! It's a new series! If this first episode is not up to par, forgive me. I already have footage for another episode, though that won't be my next video. I hope you enjoyed this somewhat different thing!

I imagine in the far future if we have efficient enough engines, we might do interplanetary deliveries by having "throwers" that accelerate a payload, decouple, and then turn around and return before leaving the planet's SOI, along with "catchers" that match orbit and dock with an incoming payload, then burn retrograde to capture it. This wouldn't save any delta v (in fact it would waste a ton of it), but would allow a single engine to transport many payloads since it wouldn't have downtime during the trip. The payloads could then be little more than a bulk cargo container with basic attitude control and an antenna

I unironically love this idea. Keeping heatshields in orbit to deorbit large vessels, or to save on vessel complexity. Just launch the heat shields on a different rocket. Some assembly required. This is my new favorite trick lol

@attack125 2 ай бұрын

you're forgetting the part where you have to match speed with the heat shield assembly in order to dock with it. wich means it's litterally going to be impossible to make it make sence for a mission. the heat shield can't orbit back and forth between 2 planets. so whatever orbit it's in (either in orbit around kerbin. or in orbit around the star on the same orbit as kerbin). your space ship is going to have to have the delta-v to match it. wich would offweigh the benifits of lithobreaking in the first place. but if it's in orbit around kerbin then you have already achieved capture. if it's in orbit around the star. then you might need years and years of time warping or twice the delta-v you would have needed to LAND. to even get back close enoegh to kerbin to aerobrake.

Thinking about it, Danny ought to have put some kind of heavy ballast behind the heat shield in front of the craft. Same principle as a dart. Heavy thing wants to stay in front, light thing wants to stay behind. It'd need a beast of a rocket to take it up though, even if it'd make re-entry a good bit easier. (without the whole song and dance of having to shift fuel)

I made special payload with little utility drone and 10 m wide heat shield. That drone was used on mission and to dock in front with the shield that sounds bit easy but no it taken 1 hour to prepare in VAB and sending refuel station into orbit. Yes you tell that's impossible because of mass but I made special mass container to the heat shield with some aerodynamic. So I had stable reentry and successful flight. It was easy because of DLC I have.

@majormelon8855 4 жыл бұрын

TL;DR: Remember parachutes... This video actually hits home, shortly Before reentry heating was added I decided to do a mission to Gilly. It was early on in the career and I didn't have a lot of parts to work with and only enough fuel to get me back to an aero-breaking altitude. It was at this point I realized I had forgotten the parachutes... So I had to make a rendezvous craft with this monstrosity of large struts radially outward from the center to serve as makeshift airbreaks that were covered in parachutes. Let me tell you, docking this beast with a craft traveling at interplanetary speeds is fucking difficult.

And then I sped up the time and lander flew out of the cage with no collision thing and then I had to catch the lander all over again during the reentry.
