Since building FASA-derived rockets in sandbox mode (and recreating real launches) was the fun part for me, until I figure it out I abandoned the game.

Maybe FASA needs updating for the game's current atmospheric modelling but I can't find a recent update - the original maintainer, along with the one after that, seems to have abandoned it. Sadly, at one point some update changed things so now everything I launch overheats during ascent and I'm trying to figure out what the heck went wrong.
It did take a lot of fiddling with the ascent profile since it's a lot easier to get Apollo into LEO and then to the Moon (which I did once). I built the Skylab Saturn (and rebuilt the one included with FASA, adding correct staging, ullage firings, etc.) and successfully put an intact Skylab in orbit - along with the SII.

I played around with the FASA mod for Kerbal Space Program - a parts pack that let you build Mercury through Saturn rockets - along with a Skylab parts pack that gave you both the broken-sunshade version and the as-intended version. Looks like all that follows SECO is housekeeping and prep for TLI. There's a great thread on the nasaspaceflight forums on skylab's orbit and the S-II direct-injection used to get it there.Įdit - and looking through the Apollo 11 flight plan, I don't see any actions or callouts for a subsequent S-IVB circularization burn. I don't believe they used it for any kind of circularization burn afaik the Apollo pre-TLI parking orbits were just left as elliptical. Of course the S-IVB did have to burn briefly to get into a parking orbit with that extra mass of fuel, before restarting for TLI.Ĭorrect-the S-IVB stage was mainly the workhorse stage to get the Apollo stack headed toward the Moon. Yeah, for the Moon missions, that third stage was fully fueled, so it could perform the Trans-Lunar Injection burn, and thus a lot heavier than the mostly-empty-space Skylab (although the latter of course had extra hardware). The stage's primary job was to send the payload out of orbit and on to the Moon (and later to Mars or Venus, but those missions never happened). It actually put the third stage in orbit without a lot of help from the third stage itself.
I guess the fact that the Sarturn V was designed to launch moon missions meant it had enough trust for low-earth orbit even without the upper stage. I was thinking that removing a stage might've affected the orbit it was in, but it seems like its orbit "height" was about on par with ISS. Thanks to you, Angr圜hris, and n0b0dy_h3r3 for the answer. However we never even tried because by then space was "boring" and expensive so Nixon axed the Apollo Applications Program. The crew would live inside the no longer needed hydrogen tank.
Note the crew access hatch at the top of the propellent tank.

Since the habitat (the actual physical structure not the "stuff" inside) is a large portion of the mass getting it for free is the point of a wet workshop. The concept would have been used to provide the crew a habitat for an Apollo. this is what I get for taking the time to dig up linksĪlso there were plans to expand the concept further and use the S-IVB upper stage as both a propellent tank AND later habitable space (after vented of residual propellent of course). It was a cheap and creative way to reuse existing hardware without having to design either a new space-worthy module or a new launch vehicle.Įdit - lol, beaten like a red-headed space stepchild. The insides were built in and around the S-IVB tankage. “More and more scientists feel that contact with other civilizations is no longer something beyond our dreams but is a natural event in the history of mankind that will perhaps occur within the lifetime of many of us,” Berendzen said, quoting a National Academy of Sciences report from that same year.Anyone know why Skylab had such a large internal space? It'd be interesting to know the reasoning, and why the ISS instead focuses on smaller compartments.īecause Skylab was a repurposed S-IVB Saturn upper stage. It borrows from the “Life Beyond Earth” symposium (video) held in 1972 at Boston University, during which renowned astronomers Carl Sagan and Richard Berendzen (among others) discussed the consequences of the inevitable discovery of extraterrestrial life. The international version of the trailer also uses some compelling archival audio about space exploration. Maybe there’s no national conflict, but it appears that there’s an impending conflict with more cosmic implications. Kennedy’s speech haunts the trailer: “There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet,” he orates, as we see the American film stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds float around the ISS.
