Solar Sail II

I had updated the page for my Solar Sail, now it’s working for the latest Orbiter Build. Also, the page explains some of the inner workings of the Solar Sail, and had a link to the document I based all.

Changes on Manu-Tara Capsule

11 Jan 2007

It always bothered me that the four main engines on the Manu-Tara capsule, which were pointing in diagonal, were a waste of power. The only way to use them was firing them all together (or by pairs), so they null themselves. I did it that way because I want to reuse the engines, so they were protected on reentry.

So I follow the same approach of the Make-Make Launch Vehicle, and strip down the capsule on three parts, the capsule, the fuel tanks and the engine. The engine, as on the Make-Make, it’s reusable.
