Just finished building my Ares 1 MOC from @saxusrm.bsky.social!

Was an absolute treat to build and I'd highly recommend it for anyone with an overlapping interest in LEGO and spaceflight!

DarkViperAU $6000 Giveaway To Celebrate PC Upgrade (2x$3000) As I am going to be upgrading my system with the newest 50 series graphics card so I can better produce my content in 4k and I figured I'd take the opportunity to share some love and do a giveaway. I would just give away a graphics card, but giving money is easier and people can just spend it on whatever they want. There will be two winners, each recieving $3000 USD. You will recieve the equivalent in your chosen currency e.g 3000 USD is 4,745.41 AUD. You will be contacted via email and social media. I will track you down based on the info you give basically. The money will be sent preferably via Wise or Paypal, but I will organize it with the winner via whatever means necessary due to the large amount. Winner will be announced publicly via community post, discord announcement, and Twitter/Blue Sky post.

I've sadly been incredibly busy over these last few weeks so i haven't had time to extrapolate any more data from this, but I hope you get some use out of these anyways.

As with last time, the source code is on GitHub github.com/SofieBrink/S...

IFT-4 & IFT-5 & IFT-6 Booster Telemetry

Just for the fun of it I put these last few graph's together, but they're a bit hard to read so that's why they're at the bottom of the thread. An interesting thing to note is that while both IFT-4 and 5 stuck around at 69 Km during entry, IFT-6 blasted right on through. (5/6)

Another extremely obvious difference can be seen in the Ship's altitude after its engines cut off. Flight 5 had an apogee of around 212 Kilometers, while Flight 6 only got up to around 190 Kilometers even though both ships had very similar velocities, orbital mechanics ❀️! (4/6)

This higher apogee also means the booster had a slightly longer coast phase, something we can actually see by the slight difference between the two lines on both the altitude and velocity graphs, where Flight 5's booster gets down a little earlier than Flight 6's. (3/6)

One of the first obvious differences is seen in the booster's velocity graph during the boostback-burn,
Its very clear that the booster shut down slightly earlier than on flight 5, causing the speed difference we see, but also less obviously: a slightly higher Apogee. (2/6)

Well here we go again!
Another Starship flight test means another set of telemetry graphs from me.
Flight 6's flight profile looks quite similar to Flight 5, with a few distinct differences which I'll point out below. (1/6)

Adding some useful parts for the next beta update coming probably tomorrow.

A new secondary payload adapter base for BCS in 4.25, 4.375 and 5m sizes.

The multi adapter will be split into 2 parts now. The 4 adapters at the bottom will be 1 part and the larger ones will be another one. #KSP #kerbal
