How To Build Boeing's Starliner in Kerbal Space Program - And Fly It Correctly

Well, the real Orbital Flight Test for Boeing's Starliner did not go so well according to NASA. Well, Kerbal Space Program to the rescue, then!

The launch will be fine as long as your Kerbal Alarm Clock doesn't glitch and put you in a weird orbit 🤔 Can't imagine that

This spacecraft experienced something my body experienced 2 times a year... When the clocks in my country are changed one hour forward or backward

[@TrayTerra]

Breaking: Bridenstine replaced by Shadowzone, NASA to move forward with new launch soon.

I would make my press conferences real short. Everytime something fails, I just yell "AGAIN!" to the reporters.

For airbags similar to those of the Starliner, you can use Comfortable Landing Continued :D

[@AtlasGaming4k]

César Daniel Prego Chavat you beat me to it! There are also different airbags as part of Umbrella Space Industries... one of their mods has em.

[@JoaoPedroTiago]

@ShadowZone the mod is called Comfortable Landing /Comfortable Landing Continued

[@goldendragon3147]

You could use a servo to rotate "airbags"(those orange 'Baguette' external tanks) out of the bottom of the capsule to simulate airbags.

[@Tulin258]

I hide monoprob tanks under neath the heat shield and eject the heat shield

[@_mikolaj_]

Why i like starliner? It looks very like my first crew transportation System in KSP, Short service module, everything powered by monopropellant, if i'm correct, 4 engines at back

[@_erroneous]

Me too, i also made something similar. Just the engines for abort arent powerful enough, so i used a tower.

[@lachlanthomas4179]

Not docking ending up making the flight more accurate 🤔

[@tacticalrover6428]

There is a mod that adds a huge load of stuff. It’s called “Comfortable Landing”

Now I know where Boeing Starliner's design inspiration came from

[@jmstudios457]

KSP has a stock RL-10 analogue, the RE-L10 from Rockomax.

[@quataviciousbingletontheiv2319]

yeah but it wouldn't fit on the small tank tho

[@jesusirazabal4034]

Loved you video and the pace of it, ideal for us learners...I replicated your design, added some parts of mine and it flew flawlessly. Thanks for posting....

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

Hey Shadow, I wanted to say thanks :) for doing your thing. While I must admit there are others you are one of the You tubers I learned from and now currently setting up my relay satellite web to the moon and other body system to prepare for drone and manned flights to the moon. I was able to make lighter efficient 2 and 3 stage lifters XD as compared to my 6 stage lifter. Happy I've finally graduated from ... darn i'm barely in orbit to space here we come :). Relay satellites are equipped with 4 ion and tiny rocket engines to assist getting from around the body if necessary. (wanted to go fast XD) Kerbin orbiting satellites are equipped with one ion and a large RCS thruster in case of de-orbit or extend to between moon and Kerbin. (If anyone was interested) Stacking smaller engines makes much more of a difference than i expected to using larger ones. Tip to anyone trying to get past just orbiting, sometimes smaller is better but more thrusters still works. Then you can just action group them to toggle and use less fuel.

[@kspencerian]

The space history nerd in me has to call you out. Starliner uses only hydrazine thrusters for orbital maneuvering. The four motors below were for launch abort only and were also only hydrazine. Four Puff engines would've been better and probably have enough thrust to work for an abort. Enjoyed the video, despite my nits.

[@gage2189]

They don’t even have enough to lift a MK3 command pod

[@pricelessppp]

Nice video shadowzone!

[@porterijsseldijk3953]

I just built it and it worked like a dream!

[@adamanderson3042]

1:01 It's not really human hubris it's very non-controversial fact. The only reason this problem wasn't immediately fixed was because they were in a blackout window with TIDRIS. TIDRIS blackout windows don't make the craft uncontrollable whenever the craft is manned.

[@aaronsengdara6948]

Their is a mod that has airbags called deployable airbags.

[@theleanmonster3735]

“Shred? I hope we don’t shred anything!” *sad electric guitar noises*

[@dimaskusuma-lf3po]

the nose cone is not separated for the rest of the flight. the nose cone is conneted tho a robotic part that opens and close, not seperated for the rest of the mission

[@gamerpro4765]

Inflatable heat shields work as airbags

[@riccardoromero5300]

It seems there’s a feature near the lake in the background, when you open the chutes.. do you know what it is? A grey spot...

[@sodaithink]

the capsule looks like someone who changed tank widths without a adapter

[@cole0096]

For air bags use hinges and the baguette fuel tanks

[@kerai9961]

what key did you press to jump straight to the launch abort motors at 5:23?

[@ShadowZone]

I used an action group (fittingly "Abort" set to Backspace) to fire the Sepatrons and decoupler at once.

[@brindle3437]

Recently built my own design for this rocket and docket it with my sky lab. Now i have to dock it to my ISS and russian space station called artium

[@jmstudios457]

Interesting you substituted 2 SSMEs for an RD-180.

[@blackmarine1965]

Boeing: Write that down!

[@TAnders877]

One of the astronauts explained it. The RCS on starliner was on at the incorrect time and they burned to much fuel because of it. The result was had they attempted to go to the ISS they may have ended up way to low on fuel. She specifically said RCS which made total sense.

[@funnyitworkedlasttime6611]

Terrence Anderson Yeah, I found it strange that they used the RCS thrusters for their maneuver rather than the OMS thrusters that were supposed to fire. I wonder if they had some unexpected issues also related to the clock sync and what we will hear about in the future.

[@daveduna1]

How do you lift the stack from the bottom without selecting the "original" part? I keep asking people on here and no one ever gets back to me ha.

[@daveduna1]

Also, while I'm asking, how do you change the number of parts you're placing without clicking on the tool icon on the bottom left?

[@edwinrobert7192]

You'll have to set the root part to another part and then you can move the thing you want

Environmental Visual Enhancements and Scatterer. And I think Planetshine as well.

[@scio7838]

Am I the only one, who rotates the command pod in the editor, to ont roll inflight?

[@sebidotorg]

I used to do that. I even used the mod that did it for me. But since in reality, nearly all the rockets rotate after liftoff, I switched to doing it inflight. For unmanned vehicles, RemoteTech’s flight computer does it for me after a simple click on “custom” (which I then click again after changing the pitch to 88, to slowly begin to pitch downrange), and for crewed vehicles, I do it manually.

Too bad it couldn't reach orbit, such a waste of money, I really hoped SpaceX would have good competition but now, Starliner seems impossible to justify! Edit: And yes what the hell was with the livestream?!? No data nothing just control room, I ended up turning it off.

[@alzi9561]

Nine it got into a stable orbit, it ran out of propellant to reach the needed elevation of the ISS

[@mattfarrar5472]

@@alzi9561 Much the same though it's a pretty huge failure and the same consequences as not making orbit, wonder how they will go bringing it home.

[@ErickSoares3]

@@mattfarrar5472 They will bring it home because they have fuel to get back, but not to reach ISS. They will test the rest and looks that the docking wasn't even necessary to qualify the thing for human crew. They plan to bring it back Sunday, about 12:30 UTC. The thing is working, transmitting and so on. Is not a wast of money, just an partial failure. If you want's to see an waste of money, research about the Brazilian Rocket Program: a partnership with Ukrainian, several billions of dollars... never launched or saw the light of day beyond the drawing board. We also had the 2003 Alcantara disaster: about 20 people vaporized by the rocket inside the construction building... for nothing.

[@mattfarrar5472]

@@ErickSoares3 What about the fact the capsule was out of control on accent and they also couldn't contact it for a while? All completely unacceptable for crew and for it to go anywhere near the ISS

[@alzi9561]

Nine According to Boeing, a crew would’ve been able to pilot it. It lost control from a computer malfunction and a human would’ve been able to correct the error.
