Lunar Development

[Danny Batten]

Right. Some prongs. These will be really important for a Lunar Craft I’ve designed.

Now. Time for a special craft I’ve designed for my Lunar bases

This is Artemis-LAC Lunar Accent Craft.
With enough fuel to go from the surface of the moon to orbit over 3 times while ferrying a pod.

so sent one so far as a test rig.

from here you can take the pod out and pop her on the station.
Don’t worry it has a probe so it can go down unmanned if necessary.

On this occasion I’ll be taking the pod out
I’ll specify this is just for the moon, it will in no way come back to the Earth. I’ll be making a craft for that especially.

Just launch the gigalauncher with a gigalauncher on top to move that to the moon.

I like the idea of a dedicated reusable shuttlecraft design for each planet.
Where did the name come from?

Dw that was actually exactly what I was gonna do.
That’s one reason why I was making these Gigantor rockets

[Pink]

Ah. So it's named after a lunar goddess. Interesting!

O W O

Might as well go with a theme ay?

 

[Danny Batten]

Oh I forgot to mention it has landing legs for... well..landings. Lol

 

[Danny Batten]

Right after a good bit of testing my Artemis-LAC Accent module has been upgraded,
Now with 1,976.4m/s of delta v it should have enough fuel to go from the surface to orbit 6 times over.

I gave it this upgrade to let it be more free so it doesn’t need to completely rely on refuelling

 

[Danny Batten]

After a long think i think I’ll have to stop.

This is the final station..
I wanted to add more, but it’s starting to get laggy. As as I’ll be using this station a lot, I don’t want it to become annoying.
I was gonna add so much more like an ION array and such.
So the final build thing to do will be to send a BAB (big ass booster) and send this behemoth to the moon!

 

[Danny Batten]

Right as the station is complete I’ll be changing the name of this thread to Lunar Development

 

[Danny Batten]

So next I’ll be sending a specifically designed craft to lift heavy weights from the surface to orbit and so forth

So hopefully this should be enough to get her to the moon

Oh I forgot to mention the name of said Lunar lifter.
Selene-LCC
(Lunar Cargo Craft)

 

[Danny Batten]

Right and she’s been cleared for liftoff!

Beautiful.

And after doing a bit of transferring we have 70% of a core left.
Or 1,966.9M/s of delta v (including the weight of the payload.)

And waiting for clearance to dock.

Cleared to dock

Next steps will to be mover the remaining core Stage fuel to any partly filled tanks.
Then we will send her down with the payload to the lab district.

 

[Danny Batten]

After 10 mins of transferring and every tank on the station being refilled it still has 6% left.

I guess I’ll have to deposit the remaining fuel by just ejection and deorbiting it

 

[BANDWITH]

That could quench the thirst of even Legman if it was full of tea..

Lol

Anyway. Tank successfully de-orbited.

And on another note the first scientist has arrived at lab complex two

But because of a defect Artemis-LAC-02 is out of operation.
A faring port was upside down. So a replacement faring will be sent in the next launch

Uhh... Holy crap you have a lot of stuff around the moon.

 

[Danny Batten]

Gotta have a good network

 

[Danny Batten]

Righty-ho the next thing isn’t directly moon related. But it will play a vital role on transport.
All it is will be a gigantic fuel station in LEO. Designed for helping transport.
And when I mean gigantic, I mean gigantic

So this is the rocket used.
Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures of launch as I was recording it for a future video.
But here is the payload

As you can see it’s a space cathedral...lol.
So I was using my 10kt rocket but I added two more boosters to make sure I’d definitely have enough.

Anyway that’s about 12000t in total in LEO.

I’ll also be needing an interbody transport vehicle for transport from LEO to the moon.
But I’ll develop that in a bit.

But here is the payload View attachment 19363

But this is... Oh my God!!! He launched the Empire State Building!

 

[Danny Batten]

Right a little more progress. Now some docking points and transferred all remaining fuel in the bottom boosters to the upper ones.
