Hey, nearly halfway! Distance-wise...

Hey, nearly halfway! Distance-wise...

S-IVB just passed the moons orbit of earth and it will leave earth SOI and head towards Jupiter

 

[JSP]

I've done some system checks on the 2 space craft
I had to make sure that all the engines links up since some times it doesnt when I use BP glitch
Any way
The engines I've used are
Saturn V first stage
3 titans
Second stage
3 frontier engines
3rd stage
1 frontier 2 RCS
CSM
1 valiant 2 RCS
LEM Decent stage
1 valiant
LEM Assent stage 1 korbli engine and 2 RCS

I call them grasshopper still but others might not

I call them grasshopper still but others might not

Me too, I don't like the engines changing names in every update. I still call them Grasshopper, Broadsword.... RB-48...

Update in 1 hour

 

[JSP]

Here is my update
Ive pop on and of every 10 minutes and we are close the S-IVB was going at a fast speed and that has just left earth SOI and the CSM is nearly to the moon

 

[JSP]

If the caravan pace I'm going has no WiFi ill take screenshots of the mission of I'll pause the mission untill I return what should I do TtTOtW

 

[JSP]

I'm going to pause the game while nim asleep and continue in the morning

Now is when will get slower. Do you see how far the Moon is from your encounter point, right? That's the time you have to wait.

-Permission to post too
-ok so i'm late to the party again but i'm still go to follow Joeanian Space Program

From Launch to TLI and to Lunar Coast...

TLI

Probably i can do some Free Return Trajectory (srly idk if i'm right to my flight path)

so i waited some mins. to do the LM exraction

S-IVB Stage burn to impact to moon.....

welp more time to go

welp Apollo CSM-LM is accompanied by TtTOtW's Challenger Shuttle

Judging by your trajectory I don't think so, your gravity assist may send you higher instead. For a free return trajectory, your exiting trajectory from the Moon SOI should send your ship backwards as much as possible. You'd have to use a more powerful transfer for this. It's possible, but hard as the game doesn't tell you where to trigger your injection burn (if I remember well, the point for this is slightly passed the transfer window), and it takes some trial and error to do it. But it's worth it as it would also shorten the trip duration.

Note that because you use 1.35, the Moon is closer and the trip should be shorter for you

Guys yesterday I made it to Lunar orbit so I decided to do the landing but I went the toilet and left my game on and when I came back I continued but my decent was to fast so my lander crashed and I didn't Quicksave so I have failed my challenge

OUCH! That should have hurted

It did hurt but hopefully Mars Pathfinder will complete his mission and everyone else

woah woah woah how??

 

[JSP]

woah woah woah how??

To fast

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

welp lunar coastin..... (darn Altaïr must be right moon is shorter here)
(this is yesterday)

same...

another same

little near but slower

a little bit trashy

near nowwww

come on!!!
(this is earlier after i woke up)

Challenger got first to lunar vicinity!!!

come on!!!!! CSM!!!

-this is the last pic before i got out....

(current one)

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

To fast

forgot to break??

 

[JSP]

forgot to break??

No I left the game running while I was in toilet

 

[JSP]

No I left the game running while I was in toilet

Left engines on 5% when I came back I tried to do the suicide burn I even activatted the accent engine but it crashed

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

No I left the game running while I was in toilet

i see.... :3

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

Challenger and CSM-LM Lunar Orbit Intersection...

Burning....

CSM-LM enters the LSOI.......

CSM-LM L.O.I.

i burned my CSM lower so the LM have a additional fuel (this is done in 14,15,16,&17 missions)

then the CSM burn to its final circular orbit....

then go for landing......

And Landing........

(thats the current for now)
