Vessel

class Vessel

These objects are used to interact with vessels in KSP. This includes getting orbital and flight data, manipulating control inputs and managing resources. Created using SpaceCenter.ActiveVessel or SpaceCenter.Vessels.

string Name { get; set; }

The name of the vessel.

Game Scenes:

All

VesselType Type { get; set; }

The type of the vessel.

Game Scenes:

All

VesselSituation Situation { get; }

The situation the vessel is in.

Game Scenes:

All

bool Loaded { get; }

Whether the vessel is loaded, i.e. its parts are instantiated in the scene because it is within loading range of the active vessel. A vessel that is not loaded exists only as orbital data and is always on-rails (see Vessel.Packed).

Game Scenes:

All

bool Packed { get; }

Whether the vessel is packed (on-rails). A packed vessel has its physics simulation suspended and follows its orbit analytically. A vessel that is not loaded (see Vessel.Loaded) is always packed.

Game Scenes:

All

float PhysicsRange { get; set; }

The distance from the active vessel, in meters, out to which this vessel keeps running its physics simulation, and so stays controllable, able to burn its engines and respond to its autopilot. Setting this raises the vessel out of the stock physics bubble, so that it keeps flying while the active vessel is far away. Set to zero to restore the game’s default range.

Game Scenes:

Flight

Note

This always reports the vessel’s live range, so reading it when no range has been set gives the game’s default for the vessel’s current Vessel.Situation, which is much shorter than the distance at which the vessel unloads. In orbit a vessel is put on rails just 350m away, long before it unloads at 2.5km, and a vessel on rails produces no thrust and ignores control input even though it is still loaded.

There is a 10% margin below the range, so that a vessel hovering at the threshold does not repeatedly drop out of the simulation and rejoin it. The vessel leaves the simulation at the distance set here, and rejoins it at 90% of that distance; in between it keeps whichever state it is already in.

The requested range applies in every situation. The game’s own defaults are not uniform, and a vessel flying in atmosphere stays loaded out to 22.5km, so setting a small range can shorten the range such a vessel would otherwise have had.

A range lasts until it is set back to zero or the game is exited. Unlike most state a client sets, it is not released when that client disconnects, because dropping a distant vessel back to the default range would put it on-rails part way through a maneuver.

Holding a vessel off-rails a long way from the active vessel costs performance, and accumulates positional error that can destroy it. Raise the range on the vessels that need it, by as little as they need.

bool Recoverable { get; }

Whether the vessel is recoverable.

Game Scenes:

All

void Recover ()

Recover the vessel. The crew return to the astronaut complex, and the funds and science the vessel is worth are awarded.

Game Scenes:

All

Note

Recovering the active vessel ends the flight and returns to the space center, as pressing recover in game does. When a non-active vessel is recovered the current scene is unaffected, and the mission completion dialog is not shown, so a script flying several vessels keeps control of the rest of them.

Returns immediately, does not wait for the vessel to be recovered.

void Terminate ()

Terminate the vessel. The vessel and its parts are removed from the game, and its crew are lost, as when the vessel is terminated from the tracking station. Nothing is recovered: no funds, no science and no crew.

Game Scenes:

All

Note

The crew are reported missing, and return to the astronaut complex once their respawn timer expires, or never if the game is set up so that missing crews do not respawn.

The active vessel cannot be terminated, because the vessel being flown cannot be taken out of the scene it is being flown in. Switch to another vessel first, or use Vessel.Recover, which ends the flight and returns to the space center.

Returns immediately, does not wait for the vessel to be terminated.

double MET { get; }

Game Scenes:

All

string Biome { get; }

The name of the biome the vessel is currently in.

Game Scenes:

Note

When this is called with no arguments, the vessel’s surface reference frame is used. This reference frame moves with the vessel, therefore velocities and speeds returned by the flight object will be zero. See the reference frames tutorial for examples of getting the orbital and surface speeds of a vessel.

• The origin is at the center of mass of the vessel.

• The axes rotate with the orbital prograde/normal/radial directions.

• The x-axis points in the orbital anti-radial direction.

• The y-axis points in the orbital prograde direction.

• The z-axis points in the orbital normal direction.

Game Scenes:

Note

Be careful not to confuse this with ‘orbit’ mode on the navball.

Vessel orbital reference frame origin and axes

ReferenceFrame SurfaceReferenceFrame { get; }

The reference frame that is fixed relative to the vessel, and orientated with the surface of the body being orbited.

• The origin is at the center of mass of the vessel.

• The axes rotate with the north and up directions on the surface of the body.

• The x-axis points in the zenith direction (upwards, normal to the body being orbited, from the center of the body towards the center of mass of the vessel).

• The y-axis points northwards towards the astronomical horizon (north, and tangential to the surface of the body – the direction in which a compass would point when on the surface).

• The z-axis points eastwards towards the astronomical horizon (east, and tangential to the surface of the body – east on a compass when on the surface).

Game Scenes:

Flight

Note

Be careful not to confuse this with ‘surface’ mode on the navball.

Vessel surface reference frame origin and axes

ReferenceFrame SurfaceVelocityReferenceFrame { get; }

The reference frame that is fixed relative to the vessel, and orientated with the velocity vector of the vessel relative to the surface of the body being orbited.

• The origin is at the center of mass of the vessel.

• The axes rotate with the vessel’s velocity vector.

• The y-axis points in the direction of the vessel’s velocity vector, relative to the surface of the body being orbited.

• The z-axis is in the plane of the astronomical horizon.

• The x-axis is orthogonal to the other two axes.

Game Scenes:

Flight

Vessel surface velocity reference frame origin and axes

ReferenceFrame OrbitSpeedReferenceFrame { get; }

The reference frame that the navball measures speed against in ‘orbit’ mode.

• The origin is at the center of mass of the vessel.

• The axes are those of Vessel.OrbitalReferenceFrame, which are the directions the navball marks in this mode: the x-axis points in the orbital anti-radial direction, the y-axis in the orbital prograde direction and the z-axis in the orbital normal direction.

• The frame moves with the body being orbited, but does not rotate with it.

Game Scenes:

Flight

Note

The velocity of the vessel in this frame is the one the navball shows in ‘orbit’ mode: Flight.Speed is the speed it displays, and Flight.Velocity points along the y-axis, towards its prograde marker.

ReferenceFrame SurfaceSpeedReferenceFrame { get; }

The reference frame that the navball measures speed against in ‘surface’ mode.

• The origin is at the center of mass of the vessel.

• The axes are the directions the navball marks in this mode, in the same arrangement as Vessel.OrbitalReferenceFrame: the y-axis points in the direction the vessel is moving relative to the surface, which is where the prograde marker points; the z-axis is normal to the plane of that motion; and the x-axis is anti-radial, pointing towards the body and perpendicular to the other two.

• The frame moves with the surface of the body being orbited, so it rotates with the body.

Game Scenes:

Flight

Note

The velocity of the vessel in this frame is the one the navball shows in ‘surface’ mode: Flight.Speed is the speed it displays, and Flight.Velocity points along the y-axis, towards its prograde marker. The velocity gives the frame its orientation, so, as with Vessel.SurfaceVelocityReferenceFrame, the frame is singular and raises an error when the vessel is stationary relative to the surface.

ReferenceFrame TargetSpeedReferenceFrame { get; }

The reference frame that the navball measures speed against in ‘target’ mode.

• The origin is at the center of mass of the vessel.

• The axes are the directions the navball marks in this mode, in the same arrangement as Vessel.OrbitalReferenceFrame: the y-axis points in the direction the vessel is moving relative to the target, which is where the prograde marker points; the z-axis is normal to the plane of that motion; and the x-axis is anti-radial, pointing towards the body being orbited and perpendicular to the other two.

• The frame moves with the vessels target.

Game Scenes:

Flight

Note

The velocity of the vessel in this frame is the one the navball shows in ‘target’ mode: Flight.Speed is the speed it displays, and Flight.Velocity points along the y-axis, towards its prograde marker. The target is the one set for the active vessel, via for example SpaceCenter.TargetVessel or SpaceCenter.TargetBody. This is undefined when no target is set. The velocity gives the frame its orientation, so it is also singular, and raises an error, when the vessel matches the velocity of its target.
