This is the note page of story "The New Future", showing some references and background details.

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 some kind of lunar vehicle.

Low Laythe Orbit

Abbreviated as "LLO". It doesn't have a clear definition yet, but an orbit at 60km above Laythe sea level is surely LLO.

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.

Spoiler: This is the truth! XD
This is Cesrate's translation in KSP Forum.


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.

And this evil plan was called "Return to Kerbal Space Program".

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.
