F l i g h t - S e q u e n c e s


The Takeoff Procedure:

The Takeoff Procedure is relatively simple to those of which are trained to fly a Jupiter spacecraft

To initiate the takeoff under normal flight conditions do as the following:

1. Extend the VTOL Engines [Hotbar 1 , Button 2]

2. Initiate the main Engines [Hotbar 1, Button 1]

3. After engines are extended you can release the landing gear [Hotbar 1, Button 8]

4. After the landing gear has unlocked from the surface, you can initiate takeoff vertically.

5. After having taken off to about 100 meters, Raise the landing gear by pressing
[Hotbar 1, Button 6] and keep thrusting up but start thrusting forward and pitch up 30° On the vertical axis.

6. After having pitched up 30°, keep thrusting forwards and release the upwards thrust (spacebar) after releasing the upwards thrust you should retract the vtol engines:
[Hotbar 1, Button 2]

7. After having reached the desired altitude of which is most commonly 500m you can re-align the ships vertical axis to match the horizon, And press [Hotbar 1, Button 4] to set forward engines to override at 4% and save fuel. In the case of slowing down press [Hotbar 1, Button 5] until your engine's overrides are back in manual control: 0%

That concludes the Take-Off Procedure.




The Landing Procedure

The Landing Procedure alike the takeoff sequence is relatively simple to complete but requires a bit more delicacy when flying.

To initiate the Landing Procedure under normal flight conditions do as the following:

1. Approach the desired landing area and flatten out your flight axis to match the horizon (Ensure thruster overrides are at 0% [Hotbar 1, Button 4 & 5]),

2. continue to gradually drop the ship down to an altitude of 80m and extend the VTOL Engines
[Hotbar 1, Button 2]

3. After engines are extended you can extend the landing gear [Hotbar 1, Button 6]

4. After the landing gear has been extended you can continue to slowly approach the desired landing area.

5. After having approached the ladning area with rougly 30m of altitude you can either tap "C" to go down or a more stable and slow descent, tapping on and off the dampeners using "Z". Do this until you touch town onto the ground in which case you follow the next step.

6. After having landed, lock your landing gear using
[Hotbar 1, Button 7]
and retract your VTOL engines,
[Hotbar 1, Button 2]
after which you will de-activate your main engines:
[Hotbar 1, Button 1]

7. After having done so, your ship has now landed and you have secured the ship in its landing position.

That concludes the Landing Procedure.



The Orbital Trajectory Procedure

The Orbital Trajectory is a continuation after the Take-Off Sequence, in which you do the following:

Instead of continuing to point 7 in the Take-Off Sequence, Do as following:

1. Pitch up to 80° and increase thrust override to ensure a stable max speed without loosing altitude, its is recommended to increase the thrust override before pitching up to 80°.

2. After 80° pitch has been reached, ensure that the thrust override is at the minimu required to stay at maximum velocity. As you are staying at the max speed, reduce the override as the planetary gravity is going down to ensure that you save all the fuel you can during Orbital Flight.

3. When you have reached orbit you are complete with the Orbital Trajectory Sequence.

Connection and Refueling


The Jupiter Spacecraft is designed with both autonomy and ease of use in mind, but there will be times when you need to connect to external sources for fuel, power, or other essential resources. This section outlines the procedures for docking and refueling, which are crucial for long-duration missions or when in remote locations where resources are limited.

Connecting to Docking Ports

Info: Docking Ports are located in the aft or hidden under plates in the back by the garrage ramp.

Approach the Docking Station:
  • Ensure that the docking port is aligned and within range of the spacecraft’s docking system.
  • Approach slowly using low thruster power to prevent any damage to the ports.
  • Dock to the selected connector by using the correct hotbar button that can be found in the Hotbars section of this manual.
Activate Docking Procedures:
Once securely docked, access the correct hotbar and enable Stockpile of both O2 and H2 if external source is avalable, If external sources arent avalable: DO NOT ENABLE STOCKPILE; This will then disable the source of H2 for the thrusters or oxygen for the life support.


Fuel Consumption


The Jupiter Spacecraft's Fuel Consumption:

As a large vessel, the Jupiter Spacecraft requires a substantial amount of fuel to operate efficiently across vast distances. This fuel is primarily stored and used in the form of gaseous hydrogen, which powers the spacecraft’s thrusters and turbines. Due to its size and complexity, fuel management is a key consideration for long-term missions, requiring precise calculations and careful monitoring to ensure operational continuity. In this section, we will explore the spacecraft’s fuel consumption rates, its storage systems, and the strategies used to optimize fuel efficiency throughout your journey.

Fuel consumption for the Jupiter Spacecraft is directly influenced by its size, weight, and the complexity of its systems. Due to the extensive use of hydrogen as fuel, understanding how the spacecraft consumes this resource is crucial for mission planning and execution.

The Hydrogen Thrusters, which provide propulsion for the vessel, are one of the largest consumers of fuel. Their consumption is determined by the total thrust required to maintain the spacecraft's velocity, as well as adjustments made for orbital corrections and trajectory changes. The Retractable VTOL Engines, while used mainly for vertical takeoff and landing, also contribute to fuel usage, particularly in atmospheric or gravitationally intensive environments.

Given the large storage capacity of the spacecraft, it is essential to balance fuel consumption with available storage. This balance is monitored continuously, and the fuel consumption rate is adjusted according to the spacecraft's current operational status. Fuel efficiency can be optimized through careful management of the vessel's energy output and thrust requirements, which minimizes fuel waste and ensures that the Jupiter Spacecraft can sustain long-term missions.

Thrust Calculation and Flight Time

As a large spacecraft, the Jupiter Spacecraft requires substantial thrust to maintain flight and accommodate varying cargo loads. Below is a detailed breakdown of the thrust calculations, factoring in both standard weight and heavy cargo, along with the resulting flight times under different throttle settings.

Standard Weight and Thrust Requirement
The Jupiter Spacecraft, when fully loaded with its standard weight of 936,750 kg, requires a total thrust of 9,544.8 kN to stay airborne. The spacecraft is equipped with the following thrusters:

67 Small Upwards Thrusters, producing 6,580.8 kN of thrust
10 Large Upwards Thrusters, producing 4,800 kN of thrust
This results in a total available thrust of 11,380.8 kN.

With this thrust output, the spacecraft can easily maintain flight, leaving a surplus of 1,836.0 kN for maneuvering, cargo management, or other operations.

Impact of 80,000 kg Cargo
When additional cargo is added, the spacecraft needs more thrust to maintain flight. For example, adding 80,000 kg of cargo requires an additional 864 kN of thrust.

After accounting for the extra load, the remaining thrust available would be:

Total thrust: 11,380.8 kN
Required thrust for standard weight: 9,544.8 kN
Required thrust for added cargo: 864 kN
This leaves 972.2 kN remaining, which is sufficient to manage the additional weight. The spacecraft can still operate with the increased load, but its flight will be slower and less responsive than with the standard weight.

Flight Time Estimates
The flight time of the Jupiter Spacecraft is heavily influenced by the amount of thrust applied and the resulting fuel consumption. With standard cargo weight (936,750 kg), the spacecraft can sustain flight for approximately 40 minutes with the minimum thrust required for hovering in 1g of gravity.

Throttle Overrides:
4% Override (Forwards Thrust)

When a 4% override forward throttle is applied, the flight time decreases slightly to 39 minutes. This is due to the increased fuel consumption caused by the additional forward thrust, but it allows for faster travel.

Full Throttle (Forwards Thrust)

At full throttle, the flight time is significantly reduced to 14 minutes. This sharp decrease reflects the heavy fuel consumption at maximum forward thrust.

Full Upwards Thrust

With full upwards thrust, the spacecraft can stay airborne for about 30 minutes, balancing the upward force required to maintain altitude and the fuel consumption rate.

Note:
It is crucial to utilize the 4% thrust override as outlined in the flight procedures. This slight adjustment significantly improves the spacecraft’s flight efficiency and extends flight duration. Failing to follow this procedure may lead to reduced operational time and could strain the system, potentially compromising the vessel's safety. Adhering to the documented thrust settings ensures optimal performance and security during extended missions.

Flight Seat Hotbars


The Jupiter Spacecraft is equipped with flight seat hotbars that provide quick access to essential systems and controls during operation. Understanding and recognizing the layout of these hotbars is crucial for efficient and safe flight. The hotbars are designed to give the pilot immediate control over key functions, from adjusting thrust levels to activating emergency systems. Familiarity with these controls ensures the crew can respond promptly in dynamic situations, making it an integral part of operating the vessel effectively.
