Lunar Mission Using Nuclear Power

File Description:
This is a Lunar mission using a Shuttle-C unmanned cargo shuttle to deliver a nuclear powered rocket into orbit. A second mission by the Space Shuttle Atlantis delivers the moon lander and one crewman into orbit to dock to the nuclear N.E.R.V.A.-2 booster, which is capable of taking the single man lander to the moon and back to redock to the Atlantis, and land home safe and sound using the Atlantis. Although the mission is totally my own creation, the machinery was researched and fairly accurate for weights and fuel efficiency. Using nuclear power a lot of payload can be pushed to the moon because it is over twice as strong as conventional rockets. Also, the Shuttle-C was actually in the process of being built by N.A.S.A during the 1990s (I've seen a photo of a partially built vehicle). The Shuttle-C uses Vinka's multistage, but I have included the minimum files neccessary to make the Shuttle-C fly. You don't need to download anything other than this add-on. If you don't have Vinka's mulitstage, you won't see boosters or tanks after they've been jettisoned, so it would help to have it anyways. This add-on is compatible with Build 021217 of Orbiter.

Vanguard 1 Add-on for Orbiter

File Description:
Originally a simple nose cone was to be carried aloft, but in July of 1957 it was decided that a small 1.47 kilogram (3.25 pound) test satellite would be used instead to exercise the tracking stations. This test satellite would consist of a simple 16 centimeter (6.4 inch) polished aluminum alloy sphere equipped with two transmitters operating at frequencies around 108 MHz, 6 small solar panels, and 6 dowel like antennas. The satellite was Vanguard I, in which its successes set the pattern for a multitude of other space ventures in this country and abroad. Vanguard also served as a springboard for scientists to launch several series of space probes to study various aspects of radiation phenomena. Vanguard I introduced much of the technology that has been applied in other U.S. satellite programs. For example, it proved that solar cells could be used for several years to power radio transmitters. Vanguard's solar cells operated for about seven years, while conventional batteries used to power another onboard transmitter lasted only 20 days. Now the oldest man-made satellite still in orbit to this day, Vanguard I has been 100 percent successful in meeting all its scientific objectives. Now you can fly this historical satellite in orbit. Unlike all the US Navy failed attempts, the Orbiter version will always get you there.

Soviet Soyuz Tanker

File Description:
Based upon an early proposal for a Soyuz upper stage that was to be used as a refuelling vessel for long duration missions. This upper stage can refuel any docked vessel with up to two different propellant resources; the capacity of the tank can be configured in the scenario file, using a default value of 6000 kg. Using higher values is not advised since it may compromise the capability of the launch vehicle to lift this stage into orbit. This version introduces particle exhaust and a fix to the guidance algorithm that allows for multiple simultaneous launches. Based on original work bye mcdope and rjcroy

TX Winged Space Launcher

File Description:
TX (Tug eXperimental) - the experimental hypersonic airspace vehicle. TX is the universal orbital launcher which can lift into a low circular orbit any payloads in weight up to 40-50 tons. TX also can serve as the first stage for heavier payloads having own engines. Payload configuration is provided through a scenario file. Features: some animation of the visual model, combined hydrogen engines, accurate model of an atmospheric phase of flight, no instrumental panel (may be released in next version). Detailed documentation. This package also includes "SRC Space Port" - space port for basing TX vehicle (SRC - "Space Research Center"). Installation is very easy and fully described in readme file.
