Rocket Bits is a 1-bit adventure-ey-platformer type game where you control a group of rockets in order to try and bring them back to their ship (a bigger rocket), so they can fly it safely back to their mothership (an even bigger rocket).
The Launch Vehicle Digital Computer (LVDC) was a computer that provided the autopilot for the Saturn V rocket from launch to Earth orbit insertion. Designed and manufactured by IBM's Electronics Systems Center in Owego, New York, it was one of the major components of the Instrument Unit, fitted to the S-IVB stage of the Saturn V and Saturn IB rockets. The LVDC also supported pre- and post-launch checkout of the Saturn hardware. It was used in conjunction with the Launch Vehicle Data Adaptor (LVDA) which performed signal conditioning from the sensor inputs to the computer from the launch vehicle.
Unlike the Apollo Guidance Computer software, the software which ran on the LVDC seems to have vanished. While the hardware would be fairly simple to emulate, the only remaining copies of the software are probably in the core memory of the Instrument Unit LVDCs of the remaining Saturn V rockets on display at NASA sites.[citation needed]
TLDR pull off a big post strutting piece of your ship and set it to the side. Hit Ctrl z and it is replaced in its original spot but the group of pieces you set aside is still hanging in the VAB greyed out. Attach that grouping to your ship. Rinse and repeat. With smart use of symmetry you can build large rockets quite quickly (ie 200+ struts where you only placed 8 of them yourself and the rest are copies)
So instead I put the first tank up and then built a complete booster assembly (including struts) that attached to it. I then detached the whole built booster from the original tank and put it to the side. I then hit Ctrl z and the booster was replaced but I still had the one I moved out of the way. I then attached it. Rinse and repeat with smart use if symmetry and 5 minutes later I had the 3x7 pancake rocket design I wanted. Best of all are rockets are strutted identically so you shouldn't have random failures from one poor strutting spot.
Be wary of copy pasting with struts, sometimes struts connect incorrectly after being placed from a copy which in turn causes one of your main boosters to shoot off into space as the rest of your rocket careens out of control. That is just my experience, and may be helpful in diagnosing your failed masterpiece.
How would you do this with multiple parts? Like there is a nice lander craft how would I import that to be able to put another rocket under it from a different craft file or do I have to build one or the other piece by piece again?
The Launch Vehicle Digital Computer (LVDC) had a key role in the Apollo Moon mission,guiding and controlling the Saturn V rocket.Like most computers of the era, it used core memory, storing data in tiny magnetic cores.In this article, I take a close look at an LVDC core memory module fromSteve Jurvetson's collection.This memory module was technologically advanced for the mid-1960s, using surface-mount components, hybrid modules, and flexible connectors thatmade it an order of magnitude smaller and lighter than mainframe core memories.2Even so, this memory stored just 4096 words of 26 bits.1
The race to the Moon started on May 25, 1961 when President Kennedy stated that America would land a man on the Moon before theend of the decade.This mission required the three-stage Saturn V rocket, the most powerful rocket ever built.The Saturn V was guided and controlled by the Launch Vehicle Digital Computer3 (below), from liftoff into Earth orbit, and thenon a trajectory towards the Moon. (The Apollo spacecraft separated from the Saturn V rocket at that point, ending the LVDC's role.)
The rocket rose up towards the heavens on a pillar of flame, carrying four very expensive and very uninsured satellites. Thirty-seven seconds later it self destructed. Seven billion dollars of RUD rained down on the local beaches near the Guiana Space Centre in Southern South America. A video of the failed launch is after the break.
There were two bits of code. One that measured the sideways velocity, and one that used it in the guidance system. The measurement side used a 64 bit variable, but the guidance side used a 16 bit variable. The code was borrowed from an earlier, slower rocket whose velocity would never grow large enough to exceed that 16 bits. The Ariane 5, however, could be described with a Daft Punk song, and quickly overflowed this value.
They certainly learned from the event; the Ariane 5 rocket has flown 82 out of 86 missions successfully since then. It has at least five more launches contracted before it is retired in 2023 for the Ariane 6 rocket being developed now. This event also changed the way critical software and redundant systems were tested, bringing the dangers of code failure to the attention of the public for the first time.
In the 4, the system timed out and shut down before the rocket began its gravity turn. The faster 5 rocket began its gravity turn before the unused bit of kit timed out. With the turn, it spewed junk data into the rest of the system, crashing the backup first, then the primary.
But even lazier and problematic was using a *timer* to shut it down instead of an event trigger. All equipment not going to be used on a rocket once it lifts off the pad should be shut down *by the event of lifting off the pad*. Logical, simple, no chance of time based anomalies causing the rocket to spin out of control.
Agreed, this 7 Billion figure does sound over exaggerated. I would argue that the only financial loss would be of the payload, the man hours required to launch the rocket and any damage done by the falling debris.
A 64-bit floating point number relating to the horizontal velocity of the rocket with respect to the platform was converted to a 16 bit signed integer. The number was larger than 32,767, the largest integer storable in a 16 bit signed integer, and thus the conversion failed.
We assume that the Martian trip would be a round one. Carrying enough fuel to make the to-and-fro mars journey is an unprecedented feat. This is where the tyranny of the rocket equation kicks in again because the fuel for the return trip becomes the payload of the first trip. Building a rocket capable of transporting this enormous amount of fuel presents hundreds of annoying engineering problems. A promising solution is to only carry enough fuel for a one-way trip and, once on Mars, refuel the rocket with what we can salvage. SpaceX, for their shiny new rocket named Starship, has successfully developed sophisticated engines that they call Raptors. They work on methane and oxygen, which SpaceX wishes to extract from the Martian atmosphere using the electricity that they generate on Mars with their solar panels. Since Mars is further away from the sun, pioneering efficient solar energy is also one of the many research avenues that, though part of Martian exploration, can have a direct impact on improving life on Earth.
Both Starship and Super Heavy will be rapidly and fully reusable, Musk has said. Shortly after launching Starship to orbit, Super Heavy will come back down to Earth for a vertical, powered touchdown, as the first stages of SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets already do. And each Starship will make multiple deep-space trips, without needing to come back down to Earth.
The problem is in calculating that force. A rocket is designed to produce force continuously for a period, and given the fuel and some other parameters makes it possible to calculate the average thrust over that period. The gun produces force only for a short period of time. As an example, it might generate a force in excess of its weight for only a couple hundredths of a second because the forces diminish as the gas in the firing chamber expands.
