Voyager Quest

[GSP]

Hey! I managed to beat Voyager Quest I think! I got to the required speed but didn't capture it, I hope I didn't break the rules, I did damage an emtpy fuel tank when I separated the boosters, hopefully I didn't damage an important part, it was a dumped stage by the way.

 

[yonkee]

looks good, congratulations!

 

[XenonSpace]

looks good, congratulations!

Wait, isn't the mass limit is 265 tons? While Golden's rocket is 344 tons.

you’re right! sorry Golden Titan , you’ll need to reduce the weight of your rocket.

Do I need to try again? It seems Voyager Quest is too hard.

 

[yonkee]

yes, but it is not an impossible mission. good luck

Do I need to try again? It seems Voyager Quest is too hard.

 

[GSP]

I keep failing, here is how it happened again:

 

[Pink]

Swap the titan for another hawk and see if that makes a difference.

 

[GSP]

Ok, I might try again later.

How far has that voyager craft gone?

 

[GSP]

Can’t remember, but I guess The voyagers didn’t really escape the Solar System in real life because They haven’t passed Sedna which is at the edge of the Solar System.

The voyagers are in the interstellar medium.

 

[GSP]

Yeah

The Voyager quest is an optimization challenge, you have to find a way to make your launcher more efficient.

For example, have a look at your thrust/weight ratio: 2.55!! Do you really need that much power? A ratio around 1.4 - 1.6 is more suitable for that challenge. That's a good illustration about what you need to do to succeed: you have to limit yourself to what's necessary.

The tutorial is very complete on all those points, you may have a look at it

 

[GSP]

Ok

But, my rocket won’t lift off.

 

[Altaïr]

But, my rocket won’t lift off.

If your thrust/weight ratio is above 1 there's no reason why your rocket wouldn't lift off, what do you mean?

 

[GSP]

When I used hawk engine on that thing, it didn’t go to space.

 

[XenonSpace]

When I used hawk engine on that thing, it didn’t go to space.

Use the second stage to help them reach orbit. Use the remaining fuel and third stage to propel the payload on a solar escape trajectory.

 

[GSP]

Ok

 

[Pizzaya]

Send a pic of your staging tab

 

[GSP]

Oh, it's not necessary.

 

[Pizzaya]

Oh, it's not necessary.

I insist

 

[GSP]

Well, I don't have my phone right now. My voyagers are on my phone.

So you are on your computer?
