Notes
Albatross 23a
This mining ship is somewhat like the combined cargo ship in Orbiter 2010 the space flight simulator.
Artificial Gravity
Using centrifugal effect to simulate gravitational force is the easiest and most possible way for future space flights.
EV-2
You could think it as a kind of lunar vehicle.
Nightingale Satellite
An ordinary surface scanning probe, now orbiting Vall on a polar orbit.
Nuclear Thermal Rocket
Abbreviated as NTR. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Thermal_Rocket for more information.
Picker Base
Picker Bases are similar to the Mars bases in Constellation Project.
Pegasus
Pegasus is a relatively small manned ships, with parachutes, lander lags and four liquid engines.
"Return to Kerbal Space Program"
The idea of "Return to Kerbal Space Program" was from Showchen on Deeptimes.org.
The Developers of KSP are actually Kerbals trapped on Earth, the navigation system of their ship was broken, so they had to use Earth's computing technology. While, unfortunately personal computers they can find on Earth were quiet awful, so they decided to set up a game-like distributed computation system, using many players' computer to draw the cosmic map.
Rockomax 1X
Rockomax 1X is a fictional liquid fuel engine in this story. It's small and capable for ships with complex jobs because of its relatively high performance.
Temperature of Laythe
The temperature of Laythe is between -40.19℃ (232.96 K) to 6.21℃ (279.36 K). Kerbals are advised to wear thermal clothes in the open air.
Time Units
The "Day", "Month", "Year" and "Century" in this story are Kerbin's units shown as follow, not Earth's.
| Earth | Kerbin | |
|---|---|---|
| Day | 23 h 56 m 4.100 s | 6 h 0 m 0.000 s |
| Month | 27 d 7 h 43 min 11.5 s | 1 d 14 h 36 m 24.4 s |
| Year | 365.2564 d | 106.5225 d |
| Century | 36525.64 d | 10652.25 d |
Transfer from Laythe to Vall
Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket
Abbreviated as VASIMR. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Specific_Impulse_Magnetoplasma_Rocket for more information.
