L15[00:35:06] <Guest76694> I'm having trouble transfering science data from an Experimental Storage Unit to another ship. The ESU is on one of two ships that are both docked to a station on different ports, and when I click the ESU I get the prompt to click another part to transfer it to, but the command module of the second ship doesn't light up ... in fact, no other parts
L16[00:35:07] <Guest76694> light up. I've tried putting a Kerbal on EVA outside the lander can with the ESU on it, but when I open the PAW I don't get an option to get at the data. Am I missing something?
L17[00:36:47] <umaxtu> PAW?

L19[00:38:18] <umaxtu> ah
L20[00:38:44] <umaxtu> I use the mod Ship Manifest to move science around
L21[00:40:41] <minas_tirith> QualifiedRaptop, https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1021/8371/products/XMA1_068_67079eed-77e1-4bc3-a037-2731993f19d6_1200x1200.jpg?v=1569607602
L22[00:41:15] <Guest76694> I've heard of that, but haven't loaded it. A couple days ago I had a similar situation: data in one command module that I wanted to move to another craft. I was able to park a Kerbal on the first ship, transfer the data, then moved to the second ship. When the Kerbal boarded the second ship, the data was transfered. I was expecting to be able to do
L23[00:41:16] <Guest76694> something like that here, but apparently no such luck. I wonder if it has something to do with the data being in the ESU, and needing to go into another ESU...?
L24[00:42:00] <umaxtu> maybe. I haven't used the ESU much
L25[00:43:02] <Guest76694> I'll keep playing with it ... maybe I have to send up another ship with an ESU to take the data from the first one... oh well.
L26[00:43:02] <Guest76694> Thanks anyhow.

L140[20:48:33] <Jovian_Oracle> I mean, did it already land?
L141[20:48:47] <Althego> could you see the plasma from earth with a big enough telescope? that there is something landing?
L142[20:49:42] <Jovian_Oracle> Depending on its angle off of Mars, maybe. It'd be awfully bright

L147[20:52:38] <Althego> hehe
L148[20:52:41] <raptop> I think so? Given that MRO was getting data

L153[20:54:00] <Jovian_Oracle> So it either landed or crashed by now. Or crash landed.
L154[20:54:26] <Jovian_Oracle> Or landed awkwardly on its side and ended upside down like a tortoise on its back.
L155[20:54:35] <raptop> Technically Curiosity's first images were of a crash (of the skycrane)

L161[20:55:55] <esspapier> looking good bois
L162[20:55:58] <Jovian_Oracle> Technically, a crash landing is a descent powered by gravity.
L163[20:56:07] <raptop> \o/
L164[20:56:15] <Althego> hehe
L165[20:56:16] <Jovian_Oracle> Or retained velocity from the orbital transfer.

L170[20:56:52] <Jovian_Oracle> How many experience points is that?
L171[20:56:53] <Althego> oh no that is heyeyeye
L172[20:57:03] <Jovian_Oracle> Is there an achievement?
L173[20:57:03] <Althego> none, didnt kill anything
L174[20:57:22] <esspapier> maybe some mars microbes?
L175[20:57:24] <Jovian_Oracle> Well sometimes you get them for using skills. IE: Picking your nose increases the lockpicking skill by one point per booger.
L176[20:57:25] <goblin> come on, it's not D&D ;-)
L177[20:58:10] <esspapier> so who's going to scoop up the poop from preserverance?
L178[20:58:11] <Jovian_Oracle> The use of retrorockets should count towards the Acrobatics skill, unless they removed it in this version
L179[20:58:24] <Jovian_Oracle> @esspapier Probably no one in the near future.
L180[20:58:34] <Althego> and btw there will be a full internal movie of the landing
L181[20:58:35] <esspapier> :/
L182[20:58:36] <Althego> with sound
L183[20:58:45] <Althego> and several cameras
L184[20:58:49] <raptop> hazcam images!
L185[20:59:09] <Jovian_Oracle> Sample return from Mars is expensive, and I'm not really confident SpaceX is getting there anytime within the coming decade.
L186[20:59:27] <Althego> but also not sure they can do it this decade

L189[21:00:18] <Jovian_Oracle> They said we die if we went to Z'ha'dum!
L190[21:00:20] <raptop> If a rover sees its shadow, does that mean 10 more weeks of winter?
L191[21:00:54] <Althego> hehe

L197[21:02:08] <Jovian_Oracle> Would you prefer something more obscure? Like Battletech?
L198[21:02:37] <Jovian_Oracle> Sadly, Mars doesn't figure much into BattleTech, where much of Season 4 of Babylon 5 took place on Mars.
L199[21:04:56] <Althego> i was close 20 seconds in the future compared to others during the landing
L200[21:05:04] <Althego> use the double speed people
L201[21:05:21] <Althego> it eliminates buffer and puts you to closer to real time
L202[21:05:29] <Jovian_Oracle> Just use a wormhole and eliminate the time lag next time.
L203[21:05:47] <Althego> yes, open it right next to the landing point and watch it with my eyes

L211[21:07:12] <goblin> lol through an integer underflow? :-D
L212[21:07:49] <goblin> or maybe it's cause it's 5G frequencies now?
L213[21:08:05] <Althego> i can understand why they are on martian time for a solar powered vehicle, but why for the rtg?
L214[21:08:50] <raptop> The cameras need light
L215[21:09:02] <Althego> hehe i didnt think of that :)
L216[21:09:22] <Althego> actually they do earth like colored images during the night with white leds
L217[21:09:26] <raptop> And so while they're not doing real time per se, my understanding is that the actual delays tend to skew to hours
L218[21:09:35] <Althego> because then the red haze doesnt interfere
L219[21:12:07] <Althego> do they know where it landed?
L220[21:12:17] <Althego> or have to wait for an orbital pass?
L221[21:12:35] <Althego> i mean the orbiters were there so could have take nan image
L222[21:12:36] <goblin> I heard 35meters from a rock
L223[21:12:54] <Althego> ah they figured that out from the hazcam?
L224[21:13:02] <goblin> you know, that one which was there when they did that other thing
L225[21:13:09] <goblin> I think so, yeah
L226[21:14:00] * raptop heard someone saying that they recognized the location a bit ago
L227[21:14:14] <goblin> yeah, that was funny

L244[21:25:29] <Althego> there was a time when there was a list of things happening
L245[21:25:42] <Althego> maybe it is there
L246[21:26:06] <Althego> spindown mentioned
L247[21:26:13] <Althego> after rcs
L248[21:27:48] <goblin> looks like the stream's ended
L249[21:27:55] <Althego> yes
L250[21:28:18] <Althego> anyway i never heard about yoyo despin for curiosity or perseverance
L251[21:28:48] <Althego> so maybe stopped by rcs
L252[21:30:31] <Althego> Communications with the rover are through a radio link using low-power Zigbee communication protocols, implemented via 900 MHz SiFlex 02 chipsets mounted in both the rover and helicopter.[12] The communication system is designed to relay data at 250 kbit/s over distances of up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[12]
L253[21:30:40] <Althego> i dont think it can communicate with the orbiters
L254[21:30:57] <darsie> ok
L255[21:31:01] <Althego> and it runs linux on a qualcomm snapdragon
L256[21:31:29] <Althego> which is gunny, because that may be more powerful than the rover cpu
L257[21:31:31] <raptop> penguins on mars!
L258[21:31:47] <Althego> i think even the rover runs linux implicitly
L259[21:31:50] <darsie> But we have directional antennas in orbit.
L260[21:31:54] <Althego> since vxworks is not a self hosting os
L261[21:32:06] <darsie> Maybe not for 900 MHz.
L262[21:32:23] <Althego> zigbee is more for short distance low power mesh networks
L263[21:32:39] <Althego> so i dont think an orbiter would be able to get anything

L279[21:37:40] <Althego> there are plans for an rtg powered drone on titan
L280[21:37:46] <Althego> and that will be standalone
L281[21:38:00] <darsie> RTGs are heavy.
L282[21:38:00] <Althego> maybe direct to earth communications
L283[21:38:06] <Althego> titan is small
L284[21:38:14] <Althego> with thick atmosphere
L285[21:38:23] <Althego> it can be heavy
L286[21:38:29] <darsie> That sounds like a contradiction.
L287[21:38:58] <goblin> well they're thinking about a 150mg RTG for the Breakthrough Starshot, so I guess they can also be light
L288[21:39:40] <darsie> Well, even a small one can charge a big battery.
L289[21:39:43] <Althego> the rtg can be heavy since the other properties of the environment favor a flying probe
L290[21:40:10] <Althego> the only place in the solar system where humans would be able to fly with their own muscle power
L291[21:40:25] <darsie> We can do that on Earth.

L303[21:44:37] <Althego> if you go to minmus early
L304[21:44:41] <Althego> i guess
L305[21:45:06] <Mat2ch> with the third ship-
L306[21:45:14] <Althego> hehe
L307[21:45:24] <Althego> i can go into orbit with the first
L308[21:45:25] <Mat2ch> After that he has the science lab and takes it to minmus and farms science out of it.
L309[21:45:35] <Althego> so probably the second is realistic

L314[21:46:22] <Mat2ch> yeah, the balancing is off in some places ;)
