L139[15:44:27] <SporkWitch> all it has to do is touch down sufficiently intact to fulfill the contract and i get a cool million spacebucks...
L140[15:44:36] <SporkWitch> (and i have deadly reentry on... lol)
L141[15:53:31] <packbart> is it really a reentry if you've never been there before?
L142[15:54:26] <Althego> but first you left your origin. so unless that was an airless moon or an asteroid or something similar, you reenter an atmosphere
L143[15:55:00] <packbart> just not the same atmosphere, I see. yeah, that is a possible explanation
L144[15:55:49] <SporkWitch> if you go up in flames i don't think the "re" is the critical factor lol
L145[15:55:57] <Althego> but in reality probably it just used to b e leaving earth's atmosphere and getting back, so it wa reentry in every sense, and later the word stuck
L146[15:57:08] <SporkWitch> i might remove deadly reentry... it's getting really annoying that properly sized heat shields aren't protecting the component directly attached to them. I've got a 2.5m shield on a 2.5m service bay, and the bay's skin temp is coming up on explosion temp...

L152[15:58:15] <Althego> quite expensive
L153[16:04:00] <SporkWitch> nothing exploded from heat! came REALLY close, but had just enough spin input before the battery died.
L154[16:04:15] <SporkWitch> now to find out if i have enough parachute...
L155[16:08:12] <SporkWitch> i am pretty pleased with the delivery vehicle, though. Had the lander probe on the nose, and underneath a bunch of fairings w/ truss and interstage nodes to hold six commsats. with the reduction in mass from deploying each commsat, it worked out to just enough ΔV to deploy 3 equatorial and 3 polar commsats, then bring the orbit in for a smooth deorbit for the probe
L156[16:08:45] <Althego> you dont really need parachutes
L157[16:09:18] <SporkWitch> i did cheat one thing though: I accidentally put the decouplers on upside down, so the commsats' engines couldn't fire to circularize their orbits, so I did delete that vehicle and then teleport another out to the same orbit with the decouplers facing the right way heh
L158[16:10:49] <SporkWitch> granted eve's atmo is pretty thick, but i'm not sure the legs and heat shield would be enough to protect the service module from lithobraking at terminal velocity... heh
L159[16:12:58] <SporkWitch> looks like it's probably more than enough chute, though, if for no other reason than that crazy thick atmosphere. used the nose-mounted double-chute from realchutes, so it combines a drogue and a regular with staggered deployment. partially deployed drogue has me down to 50m/s
L160[16:13:27] <SporkWitch> i'm coming down in the sea, though... hopefully the phsyics don't bite me lol

L163[16:19:00] <SporkWitch> should have tests Soon™
L164[16:20:04] <Mat2ch> well, with all the tests that have to be done... "soon" can mean anything ;)
L165[16:20:22] <SporkWitch> yeah, but the paperwork's approved for them to start tests, so big milestone
L166[16:20:35] <Althego> remember when the first orbital test was last summer?
L167[16:20:39] <Althego> we lost a year
L168[16:21:11] <Althego> but even with this starship is a really ambitious project and it seems to be going really fast
L169[16:22:03] <SporkWitch> can't wait for the first reentry test; it'll be the first use of that type of reentry cooling. apparently it works by recirculating the methalox fuel underneath the skin to carry heat from the windward side to the leeward
L170[16:22:47] <Althego> hmm interesting
L171[16:22:51] <Althego> i didnt know they did that
L172[16:25:31] <umaxtu> I thought they'd scrapped that
L173[16:25:59] <FLHerne> yeah, I'm fairly sure they did
L174[16:26:16] <Althego> what they scrapped was the bleeding of fuel for cooling
L175[16:26:25] <Althego> whatever they called that
L176[16:26:37] <SporkWitch> i'm trying to find a source explaining what i was talking about
L177[16:26:44] <Althego> that the skin would have spores and let fuel through and let it evaporate
L178[16:26:52] <Althego> this sounds something different
L179[16:26:56] <Althego> like a heat exchanger
L180[16:27:59] <SporkWitch> yeah, i think that much was canceled due to concerns the pores would "clog"
L181[16:28:19] <umaxtu> rocket pimples sound cool
L182[16:28:48] <SporkWitch> but pumping the fuel under the skin makes sense and wouldn't have the same issues. not really any different from how a liquid cooling loop in a computer works: the windward side would functionally be the CPU block, heating the fuel, which is then pumped through the leeward side which would act as the radiator
L183[16:29:27] <Althego> but where would you pump he heat to? in an airplane usually that is the fuel. but when the tanks are empty, that is not really an option
L184[16:29:44] <Althego> you could still evaporate some water ice or something
L185[16:29:56] <SporkWitch> the implication is it won't be empty ,which makes sense given they plan to have it land vertically, so you need fuel for the burn
L186[16:29:58] <Mat2ch> Althego: you pump it inside. The heat is short enough, you the heat spikes are the problem.

L192[16:31:17] <SporkWitch> "empty" is a relative thing in this case. you have the skin lined with the small pipes to maximize surface area while minimizing volume. the thermal capacity is that of the total volume of fluid, again just like in a liquid cooling loop for a computer
L193[16:31:19] <Althego> ok you could put it into the walls
L194[16:31:53] <SporkWitch> it distributes the temperature throughout the fluid, it's not like you have really hot coolant in the CPU block and cool near the radiator, the temperature is relatively uniform throughout the fluid volume
L195[16:32:18] <Althego> yes, but there you can have aradiator and some fans to move heat out
L196[16:32:30] <Althego> that is why i asked where the heat goes
L197[16:32:39] <Althego> it doesnt keep the het inside
L198[16:32:45] <SporkWitch> and yeah, empty space is an insulator. that's how double-pane windows work: AFAIK it's usually a vacuum layer between the two panes, and that's how it massively reduces heat transfer
L199[16:33:12] <Althego> and most of starship will be empty space when it comes back
L200[16:33:21] <Althego> the header tanks maybe?
L201[16:33:29] <Althego> those could be a target, they are full
L202[16:33:32] <SporkWitch> no, but the leeward side is significantly lower temperature than the windward, and all that matters is that you keep the skin temperature below that at which the steel loses structure integrity, and that the passenger compartment is kept below that at which the electronics or meatbags are harmed
L203[16:33:44] <Althego> and even those are what some tons of liquid
L204[16:34:19] <SporkWitch> the belly is the part getting the atmospheric heating (the metal in contact with the CPU heat spreader), while the dorsal side is cooler and functions as a radiator
L205[16:34:48] <SporkWitch> and i definitely had plenty of chute; overkill in fact, as fully deployed, i'm down to 2.6m/s lol
L206[16:35:09] <Althego> you can land with aerobrakes, just as real life venus probes
L207[16:35:30] <SporkWitch> yeah, but it's my first attempt, and given the time between missions, even with time warp, i didn't want to screw up lol
L208[16:35:42] <SporkWitch> i have other missions i want to do but i need the money from this one to fund them heh
L209[16:36:15] <SporkWitch> as tedious as it is, i prefer the career mode's constraints and missions to help set goals and give ideas, vs even just science mode eliminating the money factor
L210[16:37:01] <SporkWitch> here's hoping the contract doesn't decide to be picky and not count splashing down in the explodium sea as a "landing"

L216[16:38:31] <packbart> oops
L217[16:38:59] <Althego> i vaguely remember some old time capsule having soem water cooling for reentry
L218[16:39:03] <Althego> but i cant find it
L219[16:39:06] <Althego> maybe it was just a plan
L220[16:39:07] <SporkWitch> ... the contract doesn't count a splashdown...
L221[16:39:22] <Althego> hehe
L222[16:39:35] <Althego> there is not that much explodium surface on eve
L223[16:39:38] <Althego> you can land elsewhere
L224[16:40:16] <SporkWitch> yeah, given just how finicky the reentry was i'm just gonna cheese it and move myself over, contract is overly literal IMO
L225[16:40:40] <SporkWitch> i'm satisfied with my accomplishment (upside of non-competitive games: no shame in a little bit of cheating when the spirit is fulfilled)

L236[17:58:57] <SporkWitch> hmmm... can't figure out why my atmosphere scoops won't grab oxygen from kerbin...
L237[18:06:05] <SporkWitch> it seems to think there's no storage, but if i switch it to argon it immediately starts filling up...
L238[18:07:25] <sandbox_> there's no kind of atmosphere

L240[18:09:08] <SporkWitch> so what i'm doing is using ram intakes and radial atmosphere scoops. I have thermal generators on top of reactors, which have thermal turbojets underneath them. Initially i use atmospheric intake for "free" thrust, the idea being to scoop up oxygen on the way up to use as reaction mass once i'm in the thinner parts of the atmosphere, and switch the engines over to oxidizer (which, in theory,
L241[18:09:35] <SporkWitch> KSPI should treat interchangeably with oxygen). The issue is that the scoops won't collect oxygen from kerbin's atmosphere, but they WILL collect argon, with no changes in the setup. It doesn't make any sense :'(
L242[18:10:08] <SporkWitch> I've tried using argon, but the engines will only use liquid argon, and I can't find any fast enough way to convert argon gas to liquid argon to be of use
L243[18:12:15] <SporkWitch> likewise they won't collect compressed air, either
L244[18:13:44] <SporkWitch> looks like it's moot anyway; just put some oxygen in the tank at launch and the engines won't switch to it :(
L245[18:14:26] <SporkWitch> i know there's some way to make this work, because i don't think there have been any relevant changes to the mods, and a similar design is showcased in beardypenguin's interstellar series...
