Atlas!-700 tons to LEO

[AstronautAdam]

Hi all, after long time from SFS, I am back in great style-team Hawk entry for 700 tons to LEO. After 5 hours of designing, flying and ceashing I think finally I made it. And with 1,37 tons of payload more than minimum. EDIT: Used BETA version 1.5.9.7

Mooncrasher, where are you? Thete is something to judge it.

 

[ASC]

this will prob take an while.

based on the final screenshot it appears there is some fuel that has been drained, draining the fuel of the payload isn't allowed

Astro, you must try again.
But this time with an even powerful rocket.
Draining the payload's fuel isnt allowed.

 

[AstronautAdam]

Ok, second time wont be hard(I think)

 

[AstronautAdam]

So it was simple-only added some tanks, other is like before. Screenshots

 

[ASC]

much better.

is there a reason why you’re pumping fuel into the payload? Shouldn’t need fuel if it hasn’t been drained

I wanted to show clearly how full are both tanks if ther will be some questions

ah okay, in that case Mooncrasher will review it and give you your badge when they can

AstronautAdam thank you for the ping, I missed Yonkee's ping. Apologies for the delay.
That said, unfortunately as I was taking a final look just now, I discovered a small accident. I've recreated it below for clarity:

This is how your payload originally looked when it was 701t:

But then when you redid your submission, the adaptation changed and it became 697t:

If this analysis is in error, don't hesitate to correct me.

As it is, the submission fails because of an honest mistake. I've no doubt it will pass when you redo it.

i made this monster just to take a satellite into orbit

This would be better in your own thread in SFS General Discussion

i improve it a little so it can get a fuel station to the LEO orbit but theres a problem is idk where to place the connector for the rocket to fuel in the future mission(also in the rnd the fuel station only have somewhere over 80% i guess i should refuel it in the future mission)

As mooncrasher said, this is a conversation between him and Adam, this is a thread for a challenge entry

as deep and moon have said, this thread is for Adam’s mission entry, not yours. You’re welcome to create your own thread where you may post your missions, but this isn’t the place, thanks

I am trying to finetune my monster, but something is wrong, because I cant accelerate to 1684m/s (+/-) to create at least 30 km orbit. There are two versions of "fail":
1) not enough fuel, even if Frontier is used as helping engine(active only out of atmo, with Titans still roaring)
2) not enough time to accel(probably enough fuel, but at that time rocket will be burned in atmo)

Mooncrasher Can you please take a look?

Badge granted, congratulations!

Thanks a lot bro

What is the purpose of those heat shields? Heat shields don't block engine exhaust heat from other parts, same craft or not.

Which heat shields? On cargo? If yes, they are as extra weight-without them, 10-12 tons of cargo are away. I didnt have any extra space for fuel tank

 

[Sportgus]

Yes I meant on cargo, I sometimes see people try to use them to block engine heat.

As said above, only ballast function
