USC's ATV-010 Galileo Galilei on approach to the ISS

You can see all of ATV-010's flight pictures here
Thanks to Diogom for flying this mission for the VSA.

Yet it is moving?

Yet it is moving?

Very slowly....

 

[diogom]

It stopped briefly to rotate to the proper orientation.

Molniya Station

A couple of screens from my latest construction project:


EVA-1 from a docked CTV. We don't have an airlock module hooked up just yet, but rumor has it that a Pirs module will be on the way in a few more orbits. From left to right:

ESA's second CTV mission to the station, secured zenith to the aft docking facility. Behind astronaut are Soyuz-TMA of Russian expedition docked to Zarya-K, and a modified USM visible in background with various useful devices attached to it.

Finally we have a wide shot showing most of the station in its current state of completion. ATV2-MLY1 and CTV-MLY2 are seen docked to the aft section of the station. Also nice silhouette of NEP structures and its solar gas turbine dishes.

Are you using Meshland to walk on the catwalk, or is this a 'cheated' screenshot?

It's staged/cheated screenshot (Universal Cargo Deck). Mesh is still in developemnt and for now it's a basic CFG vessel made to adjust positions of various elements.

Proton launch. I wonder what the payload is...

It's going to blow!

Tower clear:

Ready for 1st stage separation:

1st stage separation (sorry for the bad photo):

Interstage falls away:

Faring sep. All systems green:

2ns stage separation:

MECO (ish):

The payload is Zveda!

Nice picture of Zveda during orbital sunset:

Texturing time...

Wow! Look at that! Looks like SSU is coming along nicely. Hats off to the team :tiphat:!

MLP meshed and textured.

hehe we have a contest of nice crawlers and launch vehicles complexes ! :thumbup:

ETS coming along, too! Great work :thumbup:!

I don't treat it as a contest - SSU will be much more complex and detailed add-on than ETS and I can't even dream about comparing to that project.

While SSU is focusing on simulating details to the last screw of the STS, my goal is to create moderatelly complex and user friendly add-on (most configuration will be done within the simulation), with versatile Launch Vehicle and bunch of interesting & usefull (I hope ) payloads.
