These are often the same as the right click events, but may offer more granular control. They will also often have actions that can be tied to action groups in the Space Plane Hangar (SPH), or the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). Parts typically have a number of events that can be triggered by right clicking on the part while in flight mode. The Firespitter pack has a fair number of parts, and most of them have some added functionality which may not be entirely clear. If the folder is not in the expected place, or you renamed anything, engine sounds will not work!
The Source folder is just so people can inspect and optionally compile the code themselves if they are wary of accepting dlls from strangers. If you want to use the example craft as stock craft, place them in the ships/SPH folder. If you are on a mac, take care when overwriting a folder, as it might default to wiping the target folder of other content.īut don’t take it from me, let Scott Manley guide you. For example: c:\games\KSP_win\GameData\Firespitter.
Unzip the contents of the zip file directly to the KSP GameData folder, so the Firespitter folder ends up in the GameData catalog.

Next step after this breadboard test is building an integrated system.
Most recently, NASA canceled the Advanced Stirling Radioisotopic Generator because development costs had risen more than expected.Īlthough there might be some encouraging results soon, NASA is supposed to be finishing testing of the new Kilopower nuclear reactor at the Nevada test site soon. NASA canceled their Prometheus nuclear reactor program, which was to provide hundreds of kilowatts of power for a Europa orbiter, because the Constellation program needed more money. From what I understand, most of the issues with developing new nuclear power sources stem from funding shortages. The US does in fact produce plutonium 238 now, not much but production is being scaled up. Mathematically this would indicate that the thrust on the magnetosphere would be invariant for all r within the solar system (after that point other terms within S() and M() that are based on solar output would likely start to break down) To get the force produced by the drive we'd take M(V,r) * S(r) which cancels out all radius terms. If we look at M(V) we could probably then find an M'(V) s.t. Now, the solar pressure is something like P=S(r) where P is the pressure and r is the distance from the sun and S contains some geometry and solar power terms. The component is likely in the denominator because as solar wind density goes down we'd expect the magnetosphere size to increase. Without having studied the equations, but having seen similar phenomenon occur in other work my guess would be that the equation to determine the total area of the magnetosphere (let's say A = M(V,r) where A is the area and V is applied voltage and r is the distance from the sun) includes a component based on the density of the solar wind at that position.
