Long Range Mining/Exploration Rocket

Long Range Mining/Exploration Rocket

Gets your drill and scanner everywhere on the spacemap and back home again.

Pressure fed gas engine with ~33kN of thrust and lots of fuel for those long trips.

Thrust can be increased to 40 kN potentially.

[quote]You will find the max. liquid temp for volatiles and nitrous oxide in the Stationpedia. I picked a temperature for both gases slightly above those to prevent condensation no matter the pressure. [h3]Temperatures used for this setup:[/h3] N₂O: 435K (161,85°C) VOL: 200K (-73,15°C) While the optimal mixture is 1:1 the temperature difference of the two gases calls for a difference in feed pressure to get to that ratio in regards of moles. See ideal gas law. In essence the higher the temperature the fewer molecules will occupy the same volume at equal pressure. If you pick other temperatures you can tweak "MinN2OPressureFeed" "MinVOLPressureFeed" values within the script accordingly (I just eyeballed the numbers with some back and forth until I got decent thrust) as the script does not calculate for that as of now. When it comes to filling up the rocket tanks, I have both fuel and oxidizer at 48MPa.

[quote]NOTE: Higher fuel temperatures and/or bad feed ratios result in lower thrust. The rocket update is fairly new at the point of creation of this video guide. Expect them to change and evolve as the Stationeers development continues. Inline tanks now have an insulated variant. Make sure to use those to minimize maintenance.
