Kerbal Space Program - Duna Tutorial Engineering Style V1.0

[@strahinjanocic4130]

We need another tutorial like this, just for career. Great video as always!

[@reecelowry4134]

Thanks you so much, in the past I always over sized my rockets to the point where they where to heavy to launch, you made it so much easier for me, thanks again👍🏼

[@Orb8Ter]

+Reece Lowry I started building to large rockets but with rockets the more you add the more you need to get it into space I find its always best to down size a large rocket first then add till it's slightly more than I need 😉

[@reecelowry4134]

Orb8Ter how do you slow down without using to much fuel, to leave enough to get home? Cause sometimes I enter Dumas atmosphere at 1900 m/s and burn up in the atmosphere

[@royalpredator9]

Thanks a ton for this tutorial helped me get to my first planet other than Kerbin :P In Career mode too!

[@Orb8Ter]

Cool I haven't gotten to another planet in career, haven't played through career yet come to think of it.

[@CapitaoAmerica737]

Would be nice to see a Martian mission style, with an space station like Hermes waiting in the orbit, and HAB and the Ares Escape Ship on the ground.

[@Orb8Ter]

+FoxTail737 Wonder if we could do this in my multiplayer world? We could have different tasks assigned to us.

[@CapitaoAmerica737]

Orb8Ter That just sounded epic. If you want, you could use some mods, i dont know the others, but for me it is fine. You decide.

[@huntercash2171]

+FoxTail737 The missions are called Ares the "escape ship" is not an escape ship ot is a MAV (manned ascent vehicle).

[@CapitaoAmerica737]

jesus Mk13764987 Thanks bro. I dont even know why i said "escape vehicle", i knew it was an ascent vehicle (just not as you said "MAV"). But thanks anyway ;)

[@huntercash2171]

FoxTail737 yea It would be nice to see that happen!

[@marksullivan7557]

You're better than even Scott Manley. Caught me an asteroid and braught it home to a nice equatorial orbit thanks to your inspiration (took about five re-fuelings). Can you please show me the set-up for planetary transfer (Duna), warp, angles, nodes, corrections etc in even more excruciating detail please I am very thick and didn't quite get enough from this otherwise excellent video - "Help me; I'm not an engineer" ;-) all the very best from Mark (the stone-age stellanaught)

[@arnolittmann4515]

Very good video and helpful getting to duna, thank you!

[@Orb8Ter]

+Arno Littmann Awesome, thanks :D Well done on making it to Duna

[@xandersuys6337]

Can you put a download link of the rocket in the description?

[@viruk67]

I vote for a tutorial visit to Dres! This time take a rover, for added difficulty.

[@Orb8Ter]

Um sure you don't want to somewhere else??? =-O I haven't been to there and read on wiki they added Dres-troids so will have to check that out.

[@bluegru]

greate video and thanks for the modlist/toollist in the descriotion, I was about to ask you for those right after the video ;D

[@Orb8Ter]

+bluegru No problem I should do this for every video or maybe at least all the tutorials

[@Matthew.1994]

could you maybe build a realistic looking rocket for that? with the newer parts (the bigger aprts)

[@Orb8Ter]

+KleytenHD Im not sure when I would get to that, the problem is you have to build a planet mission in orbit with multiple launches and to make the craft stable you need mods to help, its possible but would take longer i probably would do it at some point but in the future though.

[@coenris1485]

can you go to Eeloo please?

[@michaelt3172]

I wish you had to send a photography probe to a celestial body before being able to see it in high definition. It would add more immersion

[@Xenro66]

Will you be going to Moho? I haven't been to Moho in months, I find it so hard to get there, especially in the new version of KSP :(

[@Orb8Ter]

I did plan for Moho next I always had problems with flybys using probes in career so a Kerbaled landing would be awesome, so its 1 for Dres and 1 for Moho...Hmm

[@waverlyseptember4891]

Orb8Ter Make that two for Moho, I'd definitely enjoy watching that.

[@paulperez-vevo6687]

32:52 you did hit the thermosphere then the mesosphere then stratosphere then the troposphere

[@Orb8Ter]

+M4d9 Striker And then touched down on the Lithosphere ;D

[@3_Circles]

I want you to try and do this. So I landed a craft in Ksp on a hill with a heat shield, Science Jr., and the Mk1 pod. I decided to topple the craft over and roll down the hill. While I was rolling my Science Jr. broke so I stopped but noticed my heatshield rolling down the hill ON IT'S SIDE! So I switched to it and watched it and when it came to a stop. IT FRICKIN STOOD ON IT'S SIDE!! I subbed for you so I want you to try and do that.

[@Orb8Ter]

I will try that out in one of my videos ;)

[@aaaabbbb4110]

Thank you for the tutorial. I just had a small problem, I'm in career mode and I accidentally brought a level 0 engineer so I can't repack my chutes, and I need to get all my science back to Kerbin, what should I do?

[@Orb8Ter]

+Aurilio Camposeco Lol well a rescue mission may be needed, I have to admit I don't play career as it want in game when I started playing Ksp. If you have an extra seat then you could sent a small craft and your kerbal can return in the same craft. Or you could leave your kerbal there 😂 Rescue missions can be fun and may be worth it for the science

[@michaelt3172]

I kinda got distracted by this video and sent some kerbals too duna and left my other kerbals from your mining the mun series around the moon for a year

[@michaelt3172]

Can you try doing a Martian style mission to duna with a lander that looks like the ares 3 along with the base then have a Kerbal stranded there and you have to rescue him?

[@erikthegodeatingpenguin2335]

It sounds like you talked backwards when recording this and then played that backwards. I don't know why. But great video!

[@Orb8Ter]

+Erik the God Eating Penguin Yeah I was using a sound filter for low noise but set it too high so cut out bits of my voice, me derp ;D

[@RobertoTrujillogt]

hey, whats the thing that suddendly appears at 3:25, over the clamp-o-tron?

[@Orb8Ter]

It was a probe that was supposed to land on Ike an extra challenge for me but I failed that challenge :(

[@RobertoTrujillogt]

Oh, Im trying to build your rocket, Im ignoring that part then. Great video, thank you!

[@alexmalka1341]

Could you please build a base on Laythe?

[@B0bb217]

Could you do Eve?

[@Orb8Ter]

+B0bb217 I will do at some point if you want to return from Eve you need a lot mode delta V than launching from Kerbin so its a lot hard and I havent done a return from Eve yet!

[@lucaskennett393]

thx for making this! I made it to duna!

[@MW-wv8pb]

How did you approach Duna going only ~1500m/s? Every time I attempt to intercept it I end up going at least 2500m/s and risk burning up in the atmosphere.

[@Orb8Ter]

+MW856 Sorry for late reply, I used Kerbal engineer redux to get the best transfer time and just set the manouver node so you just get the encounter with Duna so you are not traveling too fast when you pass Duna.

[@supermobs7089]

Do you have twitch? If you do you should to a full live stream to a planet and do a game give away to get people to come

[@Orb8Ter]

I wish I had the time I struggle getting these videos up when I can between work and renovation around the house, streaming has definitely been on my mind before maybe when I get a chance, thanks for the suggestion :)

[@3spain]

What was the probe made out of?

[@daveman7043]

i am currently waiting for my kerbal to parachute down to kerbin, i built my craft in orbit then went to duna then landed came back up, and docked then flew home

[@Orb8Ter]

+Dave Man Awesome stuff that is top notch piloting ;) transferring and docking are the hardest parts of the game

[@daveman7043]

well there were parts of the mission that went wrong, ran out of fuel on my ascent, had to get out and push. but she got home alright. i wanted to reuse my tug for another mission but my pod had no heat shield and my tug had one on the bottom for braking so i had to destroy it in the atmosphere and undock when the fire stopped, it was a pretty eventful mission. only my second time bring a kerbal to duna and back, first with no fuel tank mods.^^ P.S.- i hit Kerbins atmosphere at 4 Km a second

[@Orb8Ter]

+Dave Man That is awesome engineering thinking using the heat shield on the tug and was definitely needed to 4km/s sounded like a lot of fun.

[@daveman7043]

+Orb8Ter I currently play on a dark multiplayer server with my friend, if you ever want to join message me P.S.- I just want to make clear that in my mission I used only stock parts, in science mode

[@hazel313]

when i built that and tryed to get into a orbit at the start when i do my curver for 45° degree turn i just started doing circles

[@Orb8Ter]

+xxAssassin1275zz 123 lol 😁 You have to turn slowly after launch but you can also add extra controls like winglets and vendor or rcs thrusters they will help you keep control

[@JDtheHutt]

Really enjoying your videos. Sadly it's getting me excited for Kerbal but I don't seem to have enough machine power to run it. I'm using an antique 2007 Core 2 Quad and a 2011 Geforce 560Ti. They're old but still manage to run some relatively modern games, but Kerbal is appallingly slow and lag ridden even as pure stock. I assume there's just a lot going on in the simulation and it's too much for my rig. Really need an upgrade!

[@Orb8Ter]

James Duffy Kerbal is one of those games that uses a lot of processing power for simulation, there is a physics bar in the options menu could lower that and some graphics and see what happens worth a try. Im using a Geforce GTX 580 struggles slightly from time to time but its ok for Kerbal

[@JDtheHutt]

Orb8Ter Thanks, I'll give it a try. It really struggles and takes ages just loading to the main menu though so not too hopeful. I'm also usually a mod monster in games but I think that's not an option here. Going to try just Engineer Redux, Docking Alignment, Alarm Clock and the new asteroid official one. Hopefully I'll get launching soon, watching through your Odyssey series in preparation.

[@JDtheHutt]

Orb8Ter Seems to be working now. Tweaked the graphics down, have it fullscreen rather than windowed and fixed a missing font. It was also running as 64 bit for some reason and seems 32 bit actually loads and runs faster and with less stability issues. Working my way through career mode now!

[@Orb8Ter]

James Duffy Awesome that's great news best game I have even when playing other games I always come back to this game. Never completed career I'm more of a sandbox player as that was all we had back in the alpha days.

[@valkyrie9561]

to my home planet!

[@TehUltimateBlazer]

Thanks a lot! I pretty much copied your design and it worked perfectly

[@VenomAloisius]

Can you make a download link fle this rocket please, it's so great :O

[@Orb8Ter]

+D4rkUnicorneMaster Sorry havent got the save anymore :( Try KSP forums craft exchange someone may have something to help forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/forum/21-the-spacecraft-exchange/ Or Kerbalx site kerbalx.com/

[@VenomAloisius]

Thanks for the links :D

[@michaelt3172]

Well he made a tutorial on how to build it my dude

[@3_Circles]

Is there a download for this craft because I'm sure there are some people who don't want to go through the entire assembley!

[@ethanwmonster9075]

great video you just earned a sub

[@Orb8Ter]

+Donald J Pepe Thanks hoped it helped :)

[@GamingMetNick]

How much delta v you need to go to duna? My map says around 6540. But you use much more.

[@Orb8Ter]

+Nextsuborbital spaceflight Yes that is about right but as this was aimed at people who havent done this before the extra fuel would help them as mistake are easily made :)

[@theclockmaker633]

will that work in ksp1.5

[@matheuschaves07]

The problem is that the parachutes can't open on career mode because aero forces and heat allways destroy before you deploy them

[@Orb8Ter]

I use the same physics settings in sandbox mode as career, you need to be traveling slow enough for the chutes to be safe, problem on Duna the atmosphere is thin so you don't slow down much so you are either going to use high altitude chutes or rockets to slow down to a safe speed for parachute deployment.

[@antonioklaic2740]

+Chuck Norris physics in career mode are identical to sandbox, you only have to plan your flight the right way, slow down using your engines as you do when landing on Mun and Minmus and deploy chutes when you slowed down enough.

[@alyosha119]

+Chuck Norris if you right click on the parachute the game will tell you if it is safe to deploy it.

[@thomasread99]

Thanks man!

[@Orb8Ter]

No thanks I'm having fun doing these, when I have the time.

[@Andreycs0]

So... how hard is it to land on Eve and come back?

[@Orb8Ter]

Andreycs0 Very hard in fact I havent returned Kerbal from Eve yet :( landing is the easiest on Eve all you need is a parachute, but the gravity is higher than Kerbins and the atmosphere is very thick, for comparison you need around 4000m/s to get into Kerbin orbit for Eve orbit you need 6000m/s. So you need to send a large launcher to land on Eve so it would be best to launch multiple stages into Kerbin orbit first to make your massive ship (at least thats what I would do)

[@firefox3249]

Orb8Ter An orbit around Kerbin requires 2000-2500 m/s -.-

[@Orb8Ter]

firefox3249 Floony M The speed for orbit is correct but you need to add extra for atmospheric drag, it actually costs a lot to get through an atmosphere

[@firefox3249]

Floony M Ooooooh..... well nevermind.

[@firefox3249]

Orb8Ter Yeah, but they were talking about ΔV so....

[@Ypog_UA]

400th like (for teaching me about space stations :) )

[@Orb8Ter]

Awesome!

[@theremixgamer6656]

am i suposd to make a menuver node? or just point at prograde till somehow a orbit is made

[@Orb8Ter]

+Theremix Gamer You can create a manouver node as a guide but if you have enough experiance you can thrust prograde into orbit

[@theremixgamer6656]

+Orb8Ter k to s much also try for fast reply keep up the good work and never give up on ur dream of becoming a big youtuber one day it will happen just remember never give up and go for it 101%

[@sebastiaannijenhuis5180]

Hi, i can't seem to lose enough speed to open my parachutes and land. I am coming in at around 1500 m/s. I did add 4 extra science juniors on each FL-T400 fuel tank. Any tips how can get it too land?

[@BrandyJr]

+Sebastiaan Nijenhuis Well, the easiest thing would be to target a higher periapsis for the aerobreak maneuver (try something around 15-20k depending on your speed and ship). That way you will only "close the orbit" the first time you enter the atmosphere and on the second round (or maybe even third) you will have bled off enough speed to actually land. "Drogue chutes" can be deployed at higher speed btw., but aren't as effective. A combination of drogues and normal ones, deployed in different stages, helps really well. :) But be careful with parachutes on Duna. I had cases, where they wouldn't open because of the low atmospheric pressure. You can (and should :D ) lower the min pressure of the chutes, in case you come down on a higher terrain.

[@Orb8Ter]

+Dennis W awesome answer dude, I love how KSP players get great support from other players, thanks man.

[@jiwonseo5574]

My maneuver won't show up rip

[@MinecraftGamer-rl1lo]

An Engineering Tutorial how to get to eve maby?

[@Orb8Ter]

+Patrick Amico Getting Eve is easy, landing there is easy but taking off from Eve isn't I will have to try at some point but wait for KSP V1.1 it means you can have larger ships at faster Fps ;)

[@devcoolkol]

Heat shield was needed on duna

[@InspiMoti]

Hi Orb8ter! I hope you will not mind some constructive criticism :) I guess The biggest thing that bugs me, is that design decisions you propose in this tutorial make sense for sandbox mode, but are quite inefficient for career. For starters: your ship did not include scientific equipment. For the tutorial to be "good" for career mode This should really be a part of Your design. Secondly: in career mode You should be a bit more concerned about reclaiming parts (returning them to Kerbin). You lander already had a dozen of chutes (to land on Duna), so why discard all the radial tanks, big tank and engine? Makes little sense... Thirdly: there are a couple things worth mentioning for the career tutorial as well. One is of particular importance: the CREW. it actually makes perfect sense to send three Kerbals to Duna, if they are at leat level 1 Pilot (can hold pro/retrograde), Scientist (huge benefit of being able to collect science from experiments and reset MaterialsBay & Goo for multiple uses during a single mission!) and Engineer (only he can repack chutes!). Hope You don't take these as your regular internet hate :). I honestly keep thumbs up for You and want to see Your tutorials getting better and better. I hope that You will find honest feedback useful. Keep up the good work!

[@Orb8Ter]

Stanisław Grabowski No I like criticism :) Ok yes you have found my kryptonite I havent completed career, I started KSP when only in sandbox so got used to it, when I started career it was before everything was balanced so never completed it. I will keep that in mind about adding tips or something for the career player but I was more interested in showing how to say get to Duna which should be similar for most types of craft, Thanks for the feedback its great when I do I enjoy making these videos when I can and still new at it, Cheers :)

[@MemeLord-sw9fy]

add 2.5m service bay and put science in it if thats too heavy change the pod to mk2 lander can also im 2 years late so you wont see this

[@CatWachristmashat]

@@MemeLord-sw9fy IM 3 YEARS LATE

[@andrewberg9611]

Anyone else having an issue with the chutes being destroyed at 400m/s?

[@GamingRepublick]

Are they actually being destroyed? Like to the point of them exploding. Because for a long time i thought my chutes where getting destroyed because the icon would turn red in the staging area. That is just the game telling you that you are going too fast so if you deploy them now they will rip off. Once you slow down more the color will change back to white and they will work as normal.

[@Immortalcheese]

Bro wtf. That's like the size of rockets I use to get to Mun and back. How are you so fuel efficient? That lander probe is what I would have designed for Mun

[@Xenro66]

Immortalcheese Ikr haha. My rockets are absolutely massive XD

[@Orb8Ter]

The trick is to do your burns at the optimal times, though I learnt through trial and error. I'd build a rocket with just enough fuel and fail A LOT but rather than build a bigger rocket I'd fiddle with the design, try the mission differently untill it was successful (a lot of Kerbals paid the ultimate price for my stubbornness). And a note the more fuel you add then the mire fuel you will need to get that into orbit so rockets get big quick.

[@Orb8Ter]

Isn't that the American way?

[@mongocom1735]

+Orb8Ter i make the russian method ....screw heatshield , theyre overrated, just fulltrust your spacecraft

[@strahinjanocic4130]

Wow. Just wow.

[@tiddlyt24]

Master b8Ter, I am the worst player in KSP, do you have any tips?

[@Orb8Ter]

I see what you did there ;DDepending where your at in what you can do i suggest start with smaller rockets practice getting into orbit, rendezvous is next then docking but take your time with each part and dont forget to use F5 quicksave and F9 quickload after you have say gotten into orbit its a big game and took me a while to get to get as good as I am now still learning ;D

[@tiddlyt24]

Orb8Ter k, thanks

[@B0bb217]

I built a rocket to get into orbit in science mode and well... It ended up getting me to the mun first, it had somthing like 9000 d/v mps

[@Nicoder6884]

Moho? Moho!

[@Dubswitcher]

You did something inefficiently. Kill your velocity by burning retrograde at the periapsis of duna encounter, or near it, at just the right point, and try to use your trajectory in such a way that you can "gravity brake" using Ike.

[@Raiden_Factory]

My first trip to Duna I spent 3 years in space !!! and ran out off fuel T_T on the way back lol

[@Orb8Ter]

+Raiden Factory Lol I remember my early missions I made sure I have enough fuel but kept on finding that they would rapidly disassemble while launching :D

[@Raiden_Factory]

Orb8Ter Since then I'm make sure it's big enough and a bit overkill everytime put lots of struts as far as Launch pad can takes :) lol

[@Orb8Ter]

+Raiden Factory Best Kerbal approach bigger is better plus you have the added bonus that if something goes wrong then it will be a bigger explosion XD

[@Raiden_Factory]

Orb8Ter Totally agreed :D

[@kajtek141022]

i had no experience witch duna, so i copy ur lander, and put it on my rocket. Everything was good until i realize i forgot fuel pipes... And it was already duna surface, after lots of ike science done. Im so mad!

[@azonidezercon]

Play with rovers

[@holyqwap]

[@linechaay6430]
