Full Feature Falcon 9 • v1.1 Starlink (RSS)

Are you a fan of the Kessler Syndrome? Do you like cluttering LEO quickly? Then this is just the craft for you!

RSS ONLY Falcon 9 ==> Launch 56 Starlinks into precise orbits and let them perform a simultaneous ballet performance // More footage // Short

Land the booster on a drone ship

V1.1: 56 Starlinks v1.5 payload.
Update JNO v1.3: Starlink release does not work anymore with this update. No time to fix it rn unfortunately.

• Use with Hypatch's SS 2.1 (Light version)
• Quick Save after stage seperation to launch and land on the same mission

List of main features:

• Accurate mass & engine performance
• Automatic Starlink removal for higher inclination launches
  
• Multiple and varying cinematic camera scenarios and tracking cam (AG6 toggle)
• Random minor or major issues can occur that can lead to a scrub or a failure requiring FTS activation. Default anomaly rate 21%
• Advanced launch profile, SpaceX style by calculating a profile that only decreases pitch (no sudden pitchup when circularizing) and uses a descending trajectory when necessary
• Orbital insertion at SECO, two types of payload release methods and a deorbit burn
• Control all Starlinks within physics range and raise their orbits
• Realistic custom RCS script
• Reentry and booster landing, with varying simulated atmospheric turbulence conditions. No gyro cheating here!
• Drone ship including vizzy script to easily place it at the right spot!
• KSC and VDB compatible

Caution: speeding up time —> chance of messing up launch (PIDS require decent fps). At critical moments time will be set back to normal, but this is not 100% reliable.

There are currently 2 methods of orbital insertion:
1. Initial launch altitude of <200 km: a second Stage 2 burn will raise perigee >200 km.
2. Initial launch altitude of >= 200 km will be completed with only one S2 burn.

Additionally, the first stage booster has a low energy launch profile for initial launch altitudes <175 km and a high energy profile for 175 km and above. Drone ship distance is adjusted automatically when placing the drone ship through the vizzy.

Drone ship landings: To place the drone ship at the correct location, start the drone ship at your rocket launch location and the vizzy will tell you what to do. Set water physics to medium for drone ship landings! Also, it's nice to increase physics distance in settings.xml.
