set of kOS scripts

kOS

set of kOS utilities and complete mission profiles (with craft files)

Utilities:

• libinput - currently only has library loader

  • require.ks - load (require) and delete (unrequire) other libraries to the vessel storage

• libmath - set of mathematical functions and solvers

  • math.ks - useful mathematical functions (direct and inverse hyperbolic functions, sign, short aliases for Euler e, pi, degtorad and radtodeg)
  • frame.ks - functions to convert coordinates between reference frames
  • cse.ks - conic state extrapolation from arbitrary initial state
  • brent.ks - Brent-Dekker's root-finding algorithm
  • lambert.ks - Lambert solver

• liborbital - library for orbital operations.

  • altNodes - gives altitude (AltTA2), direction (UniPosTA2) and velocity (VelTA2) at given true anomaly, and true anomaly of ascending node (TAofAN2)
  • annorm.ks - calculate body-centric AN and normal vectors given orbital inclination and LAN
  • aponode.ks and perinode.ks - plan prograde maneuver nodes at apoapsis / periapsis to change the opposite apsis to a set value
  • circularize.ks - circularize orbit at ship's current position
  • dock.ks - dock to the target port of another vessel
  • etaNodes.ks - functions to calculate time to a given true anomaly, ascending node and descending node (only for elliptic orbits)
  • exenode.ks - execute maneuver node
  • orbdir.ks - calculate body-centric AN and normal vectors of ship's current orbit
  • trimperiod.ks - fine-tune orbital period burning prograde or retrograde

• libvessel - functions to get vessel properties

  • thrustisp.ks - get projection of thrust onto current facing vector and effective exhaust velocity for all active engines
  • vesselsize.ks - estimate maximum size of the vessel (useful for safe docking)

• libwarp - functions to control time warp

  • warpfor - warp for specified time (unlike kuniverse:timewarp:warpto() will not be interrupted by external events such as KAC alarms or whatnot)
  • warpheight - warp to the specified altitude ASL

Missions:

• KOT - 1-person spacecraft

  • KOT-1 - get to LKO and back
  • KOT-D - equipped with a docking port, designed to dock to a target vessel

• Dockee - docking target vessel

• Kommsat - spacecraft for medium-altitude relay network. Designed to start from nonzero latitude and get to equatorial orbit

  • Kommsat 2 - same as Kommsat, designed to get into orbit 90 degrees apart from Kommsat 1

• Mapsat - SCANSat probe designed for polar orbit

• Moona - Munar robotic exploration project

  • Moona 1 - impactor probe
  • Moona 2 - orbiter probe
  • Moona Pol - polar orbiter with SCANSat scanner
  • Moona 6 - lander (needs coordinates to land at)

• L3project - Soviet-themed manned Munar landing
