Saturn

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Capable of getting to LEO, Moon and back to earth

Yeah, you're gonna need a lot more delta-V than that if you want to get to Saturn directly. Your other option is to get there via VEEGa (Check out Altaïr's Gravity assist tutorial for that). Even with that though, I don't think your rocket is gonna be enough. I'd suggest going to Horus Lupercal if you need advice about rocket optimization. Not in this thread though please, I want to keep it kinda on topic. I can try to help you a bit too if you want, but I've been really busy with college lately, so I might not be able to help very much...

For reference, the shuttles at Point Inception, Radiant and Tenebrous, have a ridiculous amount of Delta-V.

This was Tenebrous's most recent trip back from Titan.

It takes most of a Tank of fuel to get to and from Saturn for this ship. The same ship could easily do a moon and back trip with around a tenth of its fuel tank.

Just to give you a sense of the difference.

Are those Ion engine boosters I spy? Fancy! Quick question: 33 ion engines too much? (shuttle on 1.35 PC)

Here if youve been busy focus on ur study's first and I might go talk to Horus about it. Or I could always make earth orbit the moon I want to go to.

The main thing is that I'm not really good at teaching... Also, why the heck would you move the earth... that just seems dumb... lol.

 

[The Dark in the Light]

Well, moving it into the orbit of the moon I want to go to would mean I wouldn't need a lot of fuel and spend lots of time racking my brain to learn about Delta-V and calculating how much fuel I need

 

[The Dark in the Light]

That's my logic

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Yeah, don't take the easy way out though, it's a lot more fun figuring it out the legit way.

Ok this is so far off topic...

I was okay with it once, He was talking about getting to Saturn.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Lol, the first time she hasn't tried to fling me out of the system.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Umm... So where should I park?

Near the facilities in the south...? Great station and shuttle, BTW!

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Guess that works.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

It's all coming together. I still need to exchange the docking tower for the new one, this old one sucks...

Its Beutiful...

Lol, I didn't see this at first. The problem you're gonna run into here is the space requirement or weight requirement in terms of electricity that it'd take to run that many ions for a long period of time. All depends on the ship though.

And Yes, they are. I use Ion Arrays in everything I have that's interplanetary.

i took my interplanetary ship called ''galileo'' to saturn... twice.. one with infinite fuel and the other one without it.. i only have captures with the infinite fuel though... im sorry for that...

i also crashed it ''accidentaly'' somewhere on saturn

and then i landed it ''accidentally'' on titan

that is completely impossible without cheats though... cuz it will run out of fuel. but it can go wherever in the solar system without cheats.

Lol, that thing should not be landing on moons, lol.

Well, I hate the fact that uses cheats, and solar panels, but apart from that, nice station.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Something I realized in my other big project: These new arms aren't compatible with the Abomb. Time to fix that.

In standby for the launch of the fixed one.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

SCS Radiant is almost ready to leave for Titan. It's second payload has been launched finally, so it can now leave.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

Just some maintenance right now. Just deorbited a Tanker, and will launch another soon. Also, I'll pry be bringing Radiant to Earth pretty soon.

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

I never get tired of this sight.
