🟢👽🎧 😂🔑💡 Aerodynamics, SAS and design for fun
Aerodynamics and SAS are important concepts in Kerbal Space Program (KSP), as they play a crucial role in the design and performance of spacecraft. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of these concepts and how they apply to KSP in a fun way!
Aerodynamics is the study of how air flows around and interacts with objects, and how this affects the objects’ motion. In KSP, aerodynamics plays a key role in the performance of spacecraft, as it determines how much lift, drag, and other forces the spacecraft will experience as it moves through the atmosphere.
SAS is a system that helps spacecraft maintain their orientation and stability in space. In KSP, SAS is typically used on spacecraft with multiple stages or complex systems, as it allows players to control and adjust the spacecraft’s orientation and movement during flight. By using SAS, players can control and adjust the spacecraft’s orientation and movement during flight, which can help improve its performance and allow it to achieve its goals more effectively.
When designing and building spacecraft in KSP, players should consider both aerodynamics and SAS to ensure that their spacecraft can perform well and achieve their desired goals. This may involve choosing the right parts and equipment, such as engines, fuel tanks, and control systems, and arranging them in a way that optimizes the spacecraft’s aerodynamics and stability.
SAS is an automated craft stabilizing/orienting system. There are varied official descriptions of what “SAS” stands for and includes Stability Augmentation System, Stability Assist (System), Sickness Avoidance Scheme, and Sickness Avoidance Solution 😉 Most often, it’s simply called by its acronym SAS.
How to go to orbit with a simple rocket with a good design that reduces the drag force as it heads for space. In the second part an example of a very bad aerodynamic design, but quite fun! The best Kerbal pilot, Valentina, will be safe!
Overall, understanding and applying aerodynamics and SAS can help players create more successful and efficient spacecraft in KSP.

Here are some ideas and activities for learning about aerodynamics:
- Read about aerodynamics: A good way to start learning about aerodynamics is to read about the basic principles and concepts. You can find books and articles that explain aerodynamics in a way that is easy to understand, and that provide examples and illustrations to help you visualize the concepts.
- Watch videos or documentaries: There are many videos and documentaries that explain aerodynamics and the science behind flight. Watching these can be a fun and engaging way to learn about aerodynamics, and can help you understand the principles in a visual and interactive way.
- Build and test simple flying machines: You can use materials like cardboard, paper, and straws to build and test simple flying machines, like gliders and paper planes. This can help you understand the basics of lift and aerodynamics and can be a fun and educational activity.
- Conduct experiments: You can try conducting experiments to learn more about aerodynamics. For example, you can try building a wind tunnel using a cardboard box and a fan, and experiment with different shapes and designs to see how they affect the flow of air.
- Visit a museum or planetarium: Many museums and planetariums have exhibits and displays that can help you learn about aerodynamics and the science of flight. Visiting these places can be a fun and educational way to learn more about aerodynamics and see how the principles are applied in real-world situations.
