KSP: Fixing My Past Mistakes with an SSTO!

You may recall that I left a spent upper stage in low Kerbin orbit during the construction of my Minmus space station, after forgetting to add a probe core and reaction wheel to it. But, to my dismay, when I opened the tracking station, there was actually quite a few bits of debris littering my new save file. This needs fixing!

I mean, irl, LEO's kinda self-cleaning, there's still enough bits of atmosphere up there to slow stuff down over months/years. Its only the higher orbits where stuff has any kind of longevity. That coupled with the absurd stresses of re-entry seems like it makes these kinds of clean-up missions not only uneconomical, but unnecessary (for LEO, GEO's different, but not where boosters tend to end up iirc).

The problem with leaving things in suborbital trajectories is that unless you're in range of the spent booster for the game to think it should apply physics, the part will just be on rails - atmospheres be damned, only a direct ground/water impact will clean it up.

Actually not really. There's a certain Altitude threshold bellow which on rails crafts are auto deleted. It's a different altitude for each body

Matt you've got me into KSP yet again and finally I've started improving. a good few hours on a fresh science save and now I've been to and recovered from Duna for the first time! I've been stranding kerbals there for years. Love seeing you revisit the best sides of KSP and keeping this game alive.

@eekee6034 Ай бұрын

Fairing base plates are reentry survival artists, they're incredible! :D I don't even start minimalist missions. I've tried a couple of times and found the difficulty sucked all the fun out of it. I briefly found myself disappointed the magenta beam wasn't matched by a silly 60s sci-fi noise for the engine sound. ;) There would be no point to it, but this is the way my brain works. Planet Coaster 2, eh? I would watch more Planet Coaster, but my motion sickness inevitably makes itself felt. It's remarkable how well I get on with watching KSP, though it depends very much on the videographer. I'm just grateful for what I can watch. I don't think I'd even be able to edit my own build timelapses if I were creating videos.

Btw, ReStock also changes how the parts work. VAOS made the “smallest” ssto that was super easy to fly with restock vs in stock that had the craft flipping over as ReStock reduces drag on the parts while also making them look better.

I used to do a lot of full "anti-Kessler" missions like this. Nowadays, I only go as far as making sure an abandoned part is on a sub-orbital trajectory, *then* hop into the tracking station and delete it. Waiting through multiple passes of a slowly decaying orbit got too boring! =:o1 Designing an un-crewed multiple re-use "de-orbitiser" craft, capable of grabbing multiple weird shapes of space-station/probe and remaining easily controllable while tethered to them, is fun though! (Pro tip, Matt: *DO NOT* forget the RCS... and plenty of fuel for it! =;o} )

@omeganoconfictos Ай бұрын

Thanks for the video! This video made me think of a couple mods that I think you will like: Stage Recovery, FMRS Continued, and Recovery Controller. (I think you may have spotlighted them in the past) With Stage recovery, if you put enough parachutes on it, or have a probe core and sufficient TWR (optional), the stage is recovered automatically. It is better for Career mode, since it you recover some of the cost, but... Still cool, and the little tool that comes with it tells you the speed the stage will fall with the current parachutes. FMRS (Flight Manager for Reusable Stages) allows you to seperate things in atmosphere and control both to their end locations. One at a time, but both stages get controlled in the end. Finally, Recovery Controller lets you select which system each stage will be handled by, so the two can be used at the same time. Hope you like the suggestions!

@eekee6034 Ай бұрын

The value of angle of incidence is a recent discovery in KSP circles. I think 80-90% of Matt's spaceplanes were made before word about it got around, and even then, we thought only a tiny angle was good, around 1°. The discovery that a whole 5° is best for supersonic flight was very recent, within the last 2 years.

I leave all the stuff that "goes wrong" just like that many times it makes interesting situations...the kraken once demanded my favorite space station in orbit between mun and minmus...and the kraken gets what the kraken wants so all i could do was watch it break apart and the parts disperse😢...i have a habit of putting way too much docking ports on crafts and parts so in this case it was the saving grace i was able to catch collect and reassemble the parts back into a working space station well some parts landed on the mun minmus and kerbin or were lost in space but i was able to compensate...the resulting station looked way better and more interesting and it was far more rewarding to build... No kerbals were harmed in the process...😂 Its really fun when stuff like this happens.
