[KSP - Showcase] DeltaVee mission to the Mun
205The DeltaVee is a FullStock 1000t Craft able to fulfill a broad range of missions. It can be tuned in multiple versions such as:
- 500+ passengers SSTO for commercial tourism and able to land anywhere on the globe.
- 50+ passengers SSTO for orbital luxurious conferences, seminar, teambuilding (lol) , 0g-restaurant, glass-transparent top and bottom.
- 50t payload to Mun surface.
- 20 scientific crew members for long duration Mun mission.
This video showcases the last version. The whole specification is based on the very first IRL KSP Hackathon tournament, held in France and of which I was an organizer.
The goals and constraints were the following:
- 20+ scientific crew for a 6+ months duration stay on Moon.
- Modules need to be linked or within a 50m radius distance.
- Emergency Escape system for the whole crew.
- Maximum mass on launchpad / runway is 1000t.
- 10 hours hackathon challenge, 4 minutes speech to a jury including professionals: ESA, ArianeWorks, VOS... Yeah, that was intense 😉
I chose to go the SSTO route and did not respect the 10 hours limit. At all. More like 100+ hours if we count the craft (50-65 hours) , the video recording, video montage, etc. :p
The craft is fully Roleplay designed. The pressurized area is one big realistic space that can host every module a ground moon mission would require: labs, equipments, personal living rooms, etc.
The 20 members limit is set accordingly so that they actually have proper room to live and work in, it feels fairly reasonable.
Everything is connected for real, crew won't have to swim in fuel to go from a part to another one. There is no non-legit clipping. And design was a must as well, while retaining functions.
It's able to refuel on the ground thanks to the belly bay that embed the whole harvester and converter system, as well as side solar panel and radiators.
It also features some modules at the rear: a relay satellite, a resource scanner, a rover to explore and settle up the right area after confirming a flat surface and resource availability.
It has an emergency escape system at the very front composed of the 4 crew cabin and the 16 crew module in which the 20 crew members sit during risky phases. It can get back from moon surface to KSC by its own.
Took a looooooong time to get everything right and i'm very proud to be able to showcase the final version to you! I really hope you'll like it as well as the video in iself 🙂
Enjoy!
