IKU-02 and IKU-03 colliders #125

Open TykoTek opened 6 years ago

The colliders on both of the inflatables extend well beyond the models when in deflated mode. If you strap an opposing pair of these onto the sides of a payload - say a small space station part - the fairing must be much larger in diameter than the actual part suggests because the colliders stick out so far.

Here are screen shots showing fairings being placed well past the ends of the inflatables and still not clearing the colliders. https://imgur.com/a/G3Mxm

do they extend to the uninflated size for the models?

TykoTek commented 6 years ago

No, the colliders extend maybe a meter past the end of the deflated model. Not even close to the full length of the inflated part.

I posted two additional pics here showing that the fairing placement indicator turns green just slightly further out, but much closer than would be required to enclose the inflated versions. https://imgur.com/a/ENLWG
