Hello,

I want to know if the actual ssc is good enough... (I don't remember where it come from...). If not, someone can do one? I even don't know the exact size of the shuttle... :oops:

ElChristou...do you have a scenario in mind?...I have several ssc's for the shuttle.

Radius 0.020

Here http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/~ssa/docs/S ... eral.shtml it states the length as 122.17 feet = 37.23 metres.

So shouldn't it be: Radius 0.037

I'm no ssc or spacecraft expert so could be wrong. ;)

State of the Art Rocket Science :

Length = 37.23 meters

Radius = half length = L/2 = 18.6 meters

so radius approximately 0.020 km.

Tx to all of yours...

Not really... I haven't found yet which mission to illustrate... For now I'm collecting more documents for the payload bay...

If you have a basic ssc just for the orbiting it's ok for me because I really not sure of the one in the prerealease...

As a scenario, you could represent the encounter of the shuttle with some alien spaceship from the parallel inner world.

The Atlantis has flown on several classified missions. All that's known are the approximate orbital parameters. They won't say what they did...

Salut Cham !
Au passage je voulais te f?©liciter pour tes addons notamment ceux sur les trous noirs... j'en ai ?©pat?© plus d'un avec ! et surtout les fondus d'Univers (comme moi ... :D !)
F?©licitation donc et mes plus vifs et sinc??res encouragements !

Cordialement,

PS: dans le cadres de ma th??se je prend des cours d'anglais (passage oblige pour publier et ??tre connu....) et je suis en train de pr?©parer une pr?©sentation en English:le sujet ?©tant libre (on veut juste nous apprendre ?  bien pr?©senter pour la future soutenance ... :wink:), devine ce que j'ai pris.... Eh oui, les trous noirs ! en fait je l'avais d?©j?  fait en fran?§ais il y a un moment... mais ?  l'?©poque je n'avais pas Celestia et tes addons....

No, my PhD finished only in 2 years, and I'm not hurried ! The naval academy where I'm doing my work is so beautiful !!! Moreover the teatchers are very nice !

Salut, Ariane

Super garde bien au chaud toute tes sources car le th??me m'int?©resse aussi (bien entendu au niveau de la mod?©lisation... j'suis pas un expert en astrophysique :oops:)... Le travail de Cham est vraiment super, mais j'aimerais faire des d?©riv?©s avec d'autres mod??les de jets (surtout pour la partie finale...)... bref d'autre projet en vue...

Hi, Ariane

Great, keep all your sources from a side cause I'm quite interested in the topic (at the modelisation level, as I'm not an astrophysic expert :oops:)... Cham's work is very impressive, but I want to create other model of jets (principally for the ending)... In brief, more project for the future...

Bye

Salut ElChristou...
Whaouoooooo :D
En voila une bonne nouvelle ! je te rassure, je ne suis pas non plus astrophysicienne, juste un g?©ologue passionn?©e par l'Univers, la naissance des ?©toiles et bien sur la formation de notre bonne vielle terre ! J'ai lus pas mal de chose sur les trous noirs vu que le sujet me passionne, et effectivement, niveau mod?©lisation, il y a encore beaucoup ?  explorer ...
Donc si je peux t'aider en quoi que ce soit ... j'en serais tr??s heureuse !!! :D :D

Greetings ElChristou.
cool ! what such a good news ! don't worried, i'm not an astrophysic expert no more, just a geologist found of Univers, birth of stars and of course the formation of our great old earth !
I've read a lot about black hole 8O and indeed there still have a lot of things to explore at a modelisation level.
If I can help you, it will be a pleasure for me ! :) :o :D

To everybody.

Meanwhile I'm working on the cockpit and the payload, you can now download the preliminary model from ML (I have deleted the previous link):

For what it's worth, I've been reviewing my old "Space Shuttle Operators Manual" and the 2001 edition of a history of the shuttle. Both of them show a total of four seats in the cockpit, with two seats in the rear for mission specialists, not just one.

However, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they take one of them out for some flights.

Yes, looking at the floor, there is some "attach points" for a fourth seat... as there is not so much space in this tiny room, I think I will keep 3 seats for better viewing...
