the_sky_callsYear 2, Day 11 and there is now a Moho launch window, at least according to the Alarm Clock mod.
Mission Designation : Vulkan 1
Rocket Model : Rover MR-I
Total delta-V (to orbit) : 12,351 m/s (9,137 m/s)
Surface TWR : 1.122
Total Mass (to orbit) : 530.42 t (96.19 t)
Dry Mass : 89.96 t
Part Count : 129
Height : 44.56 m
Width : 7.99 m
Length : 8.02 m
Mission Objectives : Land rover on Moho
This is an expensive ejection, 2,745 m/s. And it took a lot of adjustments to get anything at all. And then it will need a 1,292 m/s midcourse correction. With 5,025 m/s in the upper stage and only 704 m/s remaining in the transfer stage, that leave only 4,437 for the insertion burn and orbit. The relative velocity at intercept is showing as 4,953 m/s when makes it seem I might not be able to do it. Another flyby perhaps.
But maybe I’ll just try again.
