Cue the Top Gun anthem (the instrumental, not 'Danger Zone'):


a re-creation of a previous upload, this time using D3D9.

I agree with what a few others have already said, you're over using the effects, tone it down a bit.

At 19:34:46 UTC Endeavour roared to space to begin the Skylab-3 mission. The 7 person crew will deliver the airlock module, the docking node and a RMS to Skylab. This is going to be a pretty busy mission

Looks like we're GO today

Lift-off!

bye-bye KSC. We'll be back in 12 days

ET separation

Everything opened and deployed

Let there be light!

Manned Orbital Laboratory (MOL) Program

Part 2 of my Past Concepts, I had to "temporarily" move to Orbiter 2006-P1 for optimal use of estar's Gemini Program.

Anyway, this is the [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1040"]Manned Orbital Laboratory (MOL)[/ame]. It was very similar to the Soviet Almaz program.

MOL did actually exist but project was canceled in 1969 during the height of the Apollo program, and U.S. space station development was put on hold until the NASA Skylab project in the mid 1970's.

There was one test flight of an MOL mock up that was built from a Titan II propellant tank. The Gemini 2 spacecraft was re-flown on a 33-minute sub-orbital test flight. After the Gemini was separated for its sub-orbital reentry, the MOL mock up continued on into orbit and released three satellites.

I have created multiple hypothetical MOL missions:


MOL I

This would have been unmanned test and qualification flight of the Gemini Capsule and it's connection to the Laboratory Module.

MOL II

This would have been a second unmanned test patching up on some of the errors for MOL I.

MOL III

This would have been a reconnaissance mission with thirty days in orbit, followed by a natural reentry.

MOL IV

This would have docked to MOL V, then performed a joint reconnaissance mission, followed by a deliberate reentry.

MOL V

This would have docked to MOL IV, then performed a joint reconnaissance mission, followed by a natural reentry.

Time to attempt...my first Mars mission...

So far so good:

TMI:

Speeding away from Earth:

Mars is a long way away:

First to the surface wins!!!!

 

[orbitingpluto]

I docked a Gemini, finally, but not the target of my choosing.

​

Just what am I docked to? No, not the Agena. It the micrometeorite package, and what a micrometeor it has found.:lol:

 

[ky]

I feel like doing an Apollo 18 movie scene re-enactment.

 

[Istochnikov]

Coming soon...

(for doing the competition to the A380s... )

 

[Ark]

First to the surface wins!!!!

Is that other lander an LK? Where did you find it?

Looks like the one Columbia42 was working on.

 

[diogom]

I think it's the one from the [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5004"]Sovietic Lunar Program[/ame] addon.

I think it's the one from the Sovietic Lunar Program addon.

Yes it is... but it doesn't have the Blok-D attached, so i had to cheat a bit and refuel halfway down to the surface...

oops i burn ISS and Progress M-62 over south Pacific :uhh:

Quickest way to waste $160 billion dollars. :suicide:

Also, what's the deal with the icons at the top of your screen? They look like the prototype icons martins said were going to be in the next version of Orbiter. :shrug:

That's because they are.
