KSP: Single Launch ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY STATION (stock) 

please matt,make a space station but its 10 meters from highest point of minmus,please 🙏

Just the fairing on that thicc boi would be a global engineering mega-project lol

"THICC BYOY" - Matt 2019

Made a near identical station today, except yours didn’t explode and rip itself apart and create 189 new crafts...

After having played KSP for at least 4 years now, I have finally managed to get two spacecraft to rendezvous in orbit and dock. Of course upon doing so (first time was a kind of Apollo style mun mission) I immediately began building a space station. Thanks to the combined help of yourself and Scott Manley I now have a near completed station and I’m on (I think) the 6th module.

Me: See's Matt Made A New Video Also Me: *yeets on in*

Send a probe somewhere using only Oscar B tanks and Spark Engines.

On a scale from 1 to garlic bread, how exited are you for KSP 2?

Jack Daniels eh? I see you're in the very highest percentile of sad people in showers.

Well done Matt, another excellent video! Keep up the good work!

KSP: adds tool to look at TWR while still in VAB Matt: "I'm gonna launch this to see if the TWR is high enough" KSP: "am I a joke to you?"

What I admire about this channel is when occasionally you relate a quick anecdote about how an incredibly minor problem causes hours of work to become redundant, yet you just keep truckin' anyway. I'm sure there are particularly frustrating exceptions but as a whole I'm impressed!

I was searching for a Video/Tutorial like this Thank you

“The Kerbals are stuck in space!” *sad escape pod noises*

1. Gets into orbit 2. Sees video 3. Cries in corner

Amazing video! I like the mathematics you explained in the video, nice change of pace!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU'RE CHANNEL! Keep it up!

Haven’t watched the video and I’m already pleased

Scott Manley is holding matt hostage and forcing him to make educational content

The torque slider is the "throttle" for the rotors. They don't let you adjust it in the assembly buildings.

space station: MATT GRAVITY

Love your vids Matt. Interesting and super chill.

the mass of this station is massive -lowne 2019

I'd be very interested in the maths that you have done to make it work. Nice video as usual !

Absolutely love these videos, thanks!

looks awesome mate well done

3:16 it's not actually the centripetal force that is creating the artificial gravity. It's the centrifugal force (pushing you towards the outside of the spin)

Matt Lowne at his scientific best! I don't know how I missed watching this one before, it's quite fascinating to listen to. 16:37 Splashdown where 0 longitude meets 0 lattitude! A coincidence, I'm sure, but one which made me smile in Matt's most mathematical video. :)

13:02 "2/4 Ain't Bad." MAN IF I GOT A 50 ON MY TEST MY PARENTS WOULD BEAT ME

7:15 Free skip to Matt crying in the shower with whisky.

The rings on the station go round and round, round and round

Me: Hey Matt, How many rockets have you made? Matt: *yes*

You should make a new series where you unlock the entire community tech tree of the interstellar mod in science mode.

As a new kerbal space program player the only thing I got into orbit was a sputnik thing

Matt lowne please, can you test KSRSS Planet Pack ? 🙏🙏

7:18 i know that feeling playing this game, i sent a space stn to Duna and realised the crew were still sat at home, i left the craft after setting it all up to check contracts before launch and the whole crew disembarked....

Hi Matt I hav a question. Can u wait till the new large SRB's come out and then do an asteroid capture using a spacehusttle. Awesome vid btw

Yay new Matt Lowne video

I wanna see you expand this station later on and make it HUGE and maybe add 2 more sets of rings as like arms out from the middle of the station

That was honestly a very well made video.

What i love about Matt is that his video titles arent: "OMG ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY RING!!!! ***GONE WRONG*** 2021!!!!!!!! *****NO CLICKBAIT*****" and that he dosent like begging for likes, but he just enjoys making videos for the internet. Keep it up😁

Loved the video btw

Jeb: Well it's not fun floating around all the time and modular stations are too complex. You got anything? Matt: _I got u homie_

1G is overly luxurious anyway. Real life astronauts have been pulling stays on the space station longer than a year with no gravity at all. Scott Kelly stayed up for a crazy amount of time. Long enough to simulate a mission to Mars and back. Giving them "only" 0.3 g or 0.5 g would still help reduce bone loss, and be easier to accomplish.

You should make a huge boom that folds out using hinges. So that the station is like 200m long

Fantastic to see that you’ve researched this project (using primary literature)! For interests sake, would you be able to link the DOIs of papers you’ve used?

Hey Matt, love your videos been watching since i was a little kerbal and I thought it would be cool if you put seats on the inside of the two rings diameters to make kerbals get G's in space like a gravitron.

12:33 I don't really get the thing with the tangential velocity. Why exactly does this matter in this case or better said why is there some upper limit? Earths tangential velocity is ~450m/s at the equator and we don't experience any problems :D

Another one engineering idea! Like it

Epic video!

The location of the comm dishes would end up irradiating your kerbals and possibly killing them

You should make a big space station that has a parabolic orbit which, at one point on it’s orbit, is about as close to the Sun as Moho, and on another point, out further than Eeloo

The way Matt says *T H I C C BOI* scares me

i find it funny that i learned all this shit in physics just today and now just happen to be watching this today aswell, if my life is a simulation you people arent doing a very good job of hiding it

Honestly, who among us hasn't sat fully-clothed in the shower, crying and drinking bourbon out of the bottle?

I LOVE YOU MATT

Hey Matt, here's a trick to keep your rings rotating. Add 2x KAL-1000 controllers, name one "Rings start" and one "Rings stop" Rings start controller Set repeat mode to "Loop", leave the length of the sequence at 5 seconds and add the following tracks: - Disengage Servo Locks, add 1 point at time index 0.10 - RPM Limit, a horizontal line with both start and end at your desired RPM (I have mine at 5, I don't know if this method allows you to pick values between multiples of 5, you'll have to test that. Alternatively creating a sine/saw wave-like track that alternates between 5 and 10 might give you an effective 7.5 RPM) - Torque Limit(%), a horizontal line with both start and end at your desired value (100% works fine for my similarly sized orbital tourist hotel) Rings stop controller Set repeat mode to "None-Restart". You can only engage servo locks when the rotors have (almost) fully stopped so you'll have to test how long that takes on your station, and then make your sequence length a comfortable bit longer than that time (on mine it takes 40 seconds for the rings to stop, so I have a 1 minute track with the servo lock at the end). Add the following tracks: - RPM Limit, a horizontal line with both start and end at 0 - Torque Limit(%), a horizontal straight line with both start and end at your desired value (100% again works fine for me) - Engage Servo Locks, add 1 point at a time index near the end of the track, long enough after the start to allow the rings to (almost) fully stop rotating. Now add 2 action groups, one that plays the sequence of your Rings start controller and stops the Rings stop controller, and one that does the opposite. Use these action groups to start your rings for normal operation, and to stop and lock them for doing orbital corrections (if the rings are not locked on my station they tend to get into a frighteningly resonating wobble at even the slightest attempt at attitude control :s ) I've tried using the Brake action on the rotors to make them stop faster but that's confusing because there's no separate action for Brake on and off and it often leads me to end up trying to spin the rings while the Brake is engaged. It's also confusing that the Brake light on the HUD doesn't light up when the brakes are engaged this way. YMMV. If you leave your station while the "Rings start" controller is active, it will still be active next time you visit because of the "Loop" repeat mode. Of course the ring rotation still has that Heisenberg quality of not actually being active when you aren't looking, but at least the rings will start up automatically any time you visit your station. Thanks for all the inspiration and hilarious commentary!

You can bind the rotor torque to the throttle in action groups (great for prop planes!) or you can just take "toggle power" (I think that's the one) and throw it onto an action group instead.

"THIIIIIIIIICCCCC BOIYYYEI!"

Matt, I know the pain of that ascent. I made an artificial gravity station as soon as I got out of school last year and it too almost all day to reach a stable orbit.

Mass of this station is massive

The way you pronounce centripetal and tangential makes me want to throw a ceiling fan through a window

There is an action group tided to your throttle. If you use that group with the tork you can get prop plans to throttle up and down

Video Idea: you should do a dry dock in orbit of Kerbin or Minmus like the one Kerbal Space Command did. You could use it for refilling and (most importantly) it would look awesome. I would love to see your take on this. Please do it :)

look at you, strutting your stuff :D

7:15 woah woah woah matt careful there you might anger the youtube demons of monetization

My god... I could never do this without video help. Just damn...

The fairings are hilarious

You CAN strut the rings to the station, just use radial decouplers and start the struts from those.

Matt: This station has insanely high dry mass. Me: Laughs in Mark Thrimm.

Do the space shuttle to return the kerbals back and upgrade the station.

you fecking genious

So, how much bigger would the rings have to be to be human rated?

That fairing though.

Early! Yes! My first SSTO and a Matt Lowne video too!

Nice! How about building Drax's Space Station from James Bond Moonraker. That had provision for 7 Space Shuttles to Dock if memory serves me correct 😁

Matt how dare you I learned something on my weekend.

If you use the KAL-1000 you can set any value within the operational range. So you can set the rotor to 11

Can you make a close sun rbital station? I just think it would be cool.

You should try going to one of the gas giants/ one of there moons in the mod outer planets, cause they kinda creep me out but I wanna see them :D

Matt, an idea you could use is you could post a non sped up build of a space station, rocket, etc on a separate video or channel

centipedal force, n. phras.: the force of a centipede in space

One thing that I don’t understand about these types of stations is how the inhabitants of the station get from the stationary parts to the rotating parts safely. Plz explain

Matt can you plz make the giant Ghost Ikhorous ship from the video approaching lightspeed?

Could you use F=mv2/r for centripetal force or do you have to use a=v2/r for centripetal acceleration for the magnitude of artificial gravity?

"The mass of the station is massive." -Matt Lowne, 2019

This station looks like the IXS Enterprise prototype, the Spacecraft that can go to Alpha Centauri(the closest star to the sun) in around 2 weeks.

This ring design remember me my keostationary station

I'm not sure if this information has been released or not yet, but I wonder if in KSC2s version of "Career Mode", Von Braun Wheels will be required for kerbals going on Interstellar missions, or just there for the flair.

Matt sadly drinking Jack in the shower. Now, that's pure comedy!

But do the stats scale down to be sufficient for kerbals? Like, I don't know the scale, but I'm curious what the necessary ring specs are scaled down.

Hey Matt, Where do you get your Camera tools? I love the shots you take :)

nobody: matt lowne:wanna see me create some cool shit

Fighting the Kraken is all part of the fun

5:36 not enough twr? MOAR BOOSTAS!!!! QUIT YOUR ADDING MORE VECTORS AND ADD MOAR SRBS!!!!! ok fine ill give you a redemption point since you did follow the MOAR STRUTS rule

I reached 100 hours of KSP game time today, all from watching your videos 😃

You can bind the Rotor Torque to an action group.

Cool rocket! I’m jealous!

I am a simple man- i see a video by Matt, i click.

if you land on all planets . maybe you make space station on all planets
