Salyut 6 - Orbiter Space Flight Simulator 2010

[@SamnissArandeen]

For those about to launch, we Salyut you.

[@isaacjohnson3979]

Great piece of cinema. What amazes e is how so few people watch your videos

[@rseferino1]

Isaac Johnson Thank you

[@ChrisPBacon82]

Beautiful!

[@NikitaWolf1776]

Can you make a video portraying the SOHO spacecraft next?

[@WilliamGilbert_KSP_Player]

Great job!

[@FlyingBoxHead]

Can you make available your Orbiter folder? I enjoy it alot, but I keep adding addons and I always eventually break the damn thing, it's really a pain in the ass.

[@szymgie]

Did proton second stage fire up after the MECO or before like in Soyuz? In video there was seperation then second stage. Why they were using open decoupler?

[@Astronut54]

szymgie I think before or at MECO. That is a feature on most Soviet/ Russianlaunch vehicles, thus the open lattice girders between the first and second stages. It's called " fire in the hole" staging.

[@antoninmathieu8701]

How did you obtained a working scenario to launch the station?

[@anguscovoflyer95]

why does the second stage spin at 2:43 for

[@rseferino1]

covoflyingace Good question. I saw that some Russian upper stages do that (from the Vostok).

[@anguscovoflyer95]

i wonder why they did that for?

[@SnortinMoundsOfCoco]

covoflyingace If I recall correctly it is some sort of avoidance maneuver to ensure the upper stage doesn't end up in an orbit that could collide with the main spacecraft.

[@anguscovoflyer95]

ok

[@stratula1]

covoflyingace This is fuel/oxydizer tank depressurization process to prevent the Kessler syndrome (oxygen tanks may blow heated by sun radiation).

[@XpertPilotFSX]

Does the Proton 1st stage have radial-mount boosters that fall off or not? Cause it seems like radial-mount boosters.

[@SargeRho]

+XpertPilotFSX No, it's just an odd-looking first stage.

[@XpertPilotFSX]

+Sarge Rho oh. Oh.

[@XpertPilotFSX]

+Sarge Rho btw, the Soyuz in the video don't have solar panels like now, interesting...

[@SargeRho]

XpertPilotFSX Yeah, the Soyuz 7K-T ran on batteries, and had enough power for 2 days of flight. I think there was also a variant that, like the Apollo spacecraft, used fuel cells instead, but I don't know if it was ever built or flown.

[@kosiak10851]

They are not boosters. They are main 1st stage engines mounted radially. You might've thought they are also assisting some kind of one big central engine, but that's false. Radial engines are there without anything at the center.

[@diabeticalien3584]

Why does Soyuz have no solar panels?

[@rseferino1]

+Diabetic Atheist It's a Soyuz Soyuz 7K-T, it was decided to remove the solar panels to avoid that were causing problems in case of an incomplete deployment.

[@diabeticalien3584]

Oh okay thanks, I was really confused xD

[@thatonedudeyouknow9603]

and why does the lowest stage do that on 2:15

[@SargeRho]

+Phillip Alford To avoid any potential collisions with the central core I think.

[@thatonedudeyouknow9603]

Sarge Rho I know that now but the way it comes of the central could be a hazard if one dosent com of properly

[@SargeRho]

Phillip Alford True, but from what I know, the system has not failed once.

[@redactedagentdataexpunged9431]

It is called a Korolev Cross. It is used to steer the booster away from the main bit of the R7

[@mariasirona1622]

@@thatonedudeyouknow9603 , it actually happened on Soyuz MS-10.

[@unknownusername228]

Looks like KSP

[@rseferino1]

Actually KSP looks like Orbiter. First it was Orbiter and many years later KSP

[@redactedagentdataexpunged9431]

@@rseferino1 this version of Orbiter was 2010. KSP Came out a year later
