Salyut 1 - The First Space Station - Kerbal Space Program (RSS/RO)

[@121borisperrons]

Very nice and well done. Just one tiny small remark: the early Soyuz separated the Orbital Module before the reentry burn to save fuel. The practice ended when an Interkosmos crew to a later Salyut experienced an engine hiccup and had to remain other 24 hours in orbit without the Orbital Module, which contained such trivial commodities as the lavatory facilities. Nonetheless, mad editing skillz!

Thanks for the info, I tried looking that up, but couldn't find when they started doing the dual sep.

Yikes! 24hrs with no bathroom! Yeah, sounds very trivial to me lol 😆

История! Класс! Спасибо!

[@kirklabrake2147]

I think you would greatly enjoy the book 'Almanac of Soviet Manned Space Flight' by Dennis Newkirk (1990 by Gulf Publishing Co.). It has wonderfully detailed information on all the early Soviet programs & very interesting stories I've never read anyplace else. Like the brandy filled chocolate candy incident of Salyut 6 for example. Covers up through the beginning stages of MIR.

[@kevincgustafson]

In my bookshelf as we speak. A constant reference material for me. I highly recommend!

It is interesting to note that the "Salyut" name was not on the station but rather "Zarya" or "Dawn" as wss its riginal designation.

I play re entry the orbital SIM quite a lot but this looks fun to. I love how re entry teaches you about the nasa programs and you feel like you really are doing it

[@jackiepage3111]

I love love your RO videos! The shots and angles and everything is beautiful which makes them more fun to watch than just cut together basic gameplay footage~ This one was really sad thou ;~; but I hope you make more and stuff :3

[@robertmcdonald8342]

This is such an eye opener. Are you still doing videos on the Chinese Space Program?

[@AntonIkryannikov]

Thanks for video! But there is one little mistake. Conventional terminology for Soyuz rocket stages is: four side blocks - "first stage", not "boosters"; central block - "second stage" (yes, it's engines start on launch pad, but it called "second"); and last (upper) stage - obviously, "third".

[@kevincgustafson]

I agree, I've seen both, but noted for the future!

[@askhowiknow5527]

Антон Икрянников Yes, but they are boosters. So to call them boosters is not correct.

[@DamirAsanov]

@@askhowiknow5527 They call them carrots!

[@richarddelafuente3802]

thi s is a long overdue tribute to a group of heroes who took the first steps to establish a home in space the Igla rendevouz system worked perfectly and the final approach and docking was done manually. the fault occurred when the capture was engaged and at the last moment the spacecraft moved and the forward probe latches had engaged and the automatic retract sequence had begun but as I said a snmall deviation in alignment caused one of the retraction extension levers to bend and break and the probe could not fully retract to establish a hermetic seal between the docking collars and their latches.

Ironically, Salyut 1 was the victim of Soyuz problems but Soyuzes is still in use, more than 45 years later. Salyut lasted only one year although worked pretty well.

[@kevincgustafson]

But it was the basis of the rest of the space station program.

[@bulgingbattery2050]

Russia isn't exactly renowned for their engineering prowess, but I have to say, that the Soyuz is probably the most reliable space rocket platform ever built.

[@TomTimeTraveler]

Do you have the film showing a cosmonaut practicing egress from the LK? It appeared on the old A&E "Time Machine" series many years ago.

[@josiahclinch6219]

can you an alt timeline mission with the shuttle docking to Salyut 7? or Apollo?

[@kevincgustafson]

Interesting idea. The Apollo hardware would be pretty outdated by 82 when Salyut 7 went up. But maybe the shuttle would work. Any ideas for a backstory?

[@josiahclinch6219]

for Apollo it have been Salyut 4 it's alt plan for the Apollo Soyuz mission. and for shuttle it was an idea to reboost seven into a higher orbit. it would had use spacelab as the docking module. giving seven two more years more life to it.

[@kevincgustafson]

I see what you are saying, Alternate ASTP or doing what they had planned the Buran to do. Interesting Idea! I will add it to the list!

[@josiahclinch6219]

found it on the web. alt timelines for spaceflight interest me. the Apollo is called "the international docking reface mission (IDRM) and in the case of shuttle it was Buran was taking too damm long.

What KSP version did you used for this? Because i have computer crashes when trying to use RSS and RO,and i have a plan to redo all Soviet space stations on KSP,from Salyuts to Mir,maybe even the ISS. Do you have such a plan?

[@kevincgustafson]

This is using 1.1.3, but I do have a fairly stable 1.2.2 version I'll be using on upcoming videos. I wouldclike to highlight some other great Soviet station stories.

[@antoninmathieu8701]

Thank you.

[@AvielMenter]

How did you get the terrain detail textures? Those have been broken in EVE for a while.

[@kevincgustafson]

It's an earlier version of KSP.

[@tony.h321]

Great video! Just wondering, if this was done using KSP (obviously modded), why were there no burn-up effects (flames) in the video during the various re-entries and the stations final descent? Just wondering because it looked a bit odd how the space station just blew up at the end there. Otherwise great video and simulation. Very interesting.

[@kevincgustafson]

The re-entry was so steep that it heated beyond the parts limit before it could break up.

[@kevincgustafson]

Also at 10:50 you can see re entry effects.

[@tony.h321]

Ok, I see. So it heated up and exploded before things started burning up? I watched again btw, and I see now there was reentry effects on the other reentry. I was just wondering because I'm new to KSP and used to the stock game where I have burnt up in the atmosphere many times :) hehe.

[@kevincgustafson]

Welcome to the KSP crew! Definitely check out the re entry particle effect to help you out. And don't make your re-entry angles too steep unless you want to kill your stuff like I did here for Salyut. For stock KSP, try to get your AP somewhere between 20-40k and you'll get down without much issue - provided you have parachutes! spacedock.info/mod/819/Reentry%20Particle%20Effect

[@tony.h321]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try try to remember that next time I'm hurtling towards the earth (or kerbin). I have KSP version 1.3 and the particle mod says its for 1.2. Will it still work?
